Listview NullPointerException inside onCreateDialogView

Im trying to create a dialog, it works except when I try and add this ListView part

 protected View onCreateDialogView() {  
    LayoutInflater inflater = ((SettingsActivity) ctx).getLayoutInflater();
    View vw = inflater.inflate(R.layout.channel_content_view, null);
    ListView lv = (ListView) vw.findViewById(android.R.id.list);
    Log.i("DIALOG", lv.toString()); ---- **RIGHT HERE IT BREAKS at com.example.tvrplayer.ChannelsDialogPreference.onCreateDialogView(ChannelsDialogPreference.java:56)**
    return vw;
 }

If I remove that Listview bit, It works and shows the empty Dialog.

channel_content_view.xml

<LinearLayout 
   android:id="@+id/channels_list"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"     
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:orientation="horizontal">      

</LinearLayout>

Your layout doesn't have any ListView.

Add one into your LinearLayout, give it an ID and use that to find the ListView lv
