Right now I am trying to create an activity with an EditText and a button, and below that a listview were I can Dynamically add strings to the list. I'm getting errors trying to mock up my activity.
Here is my main activity.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private Connection serverConnection;
private ArrayList<String> listItems = new ArrayList<String>();
private ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ListView listview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(MainActivity.this, 0, listItems);
listview.setAdapter(adapter);
serverConnection = new Connection(MainActivity.this);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
public void displayMessage(String string) {
listItems.add(string);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
Here is the xml for the main activity.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<EditText
android:id="@+id/message_entry"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/list"
android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/send_button"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:hint="@string/enter_message" />
<ListView
android:id="@+id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="@+id/message_entry"
android:paddingTop="10dp" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/send_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/message_entry"
android:layout_alignRight="@+id/list"
android:layout_alignTop="@+id/message_entry" />
</RelativeLayout>
Here is my other class that I'm going to use to for connecting to a socket.
public class Connection extends Thread {
private Socket client;
private ObjectOutputStream output;
private ObjectInputStream input;
public Connection(MainActivity mainActivity) {
mainActivity.displayMessage("Test1");
mainActivity.displayMessage("Test2");
mainActivity.displayMessage("Test3");
mainActivity.displayMessage("Test4");
mainActivity.displayMessage("Test5");
}
}

This line gives you an error
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(MainActivity.this, 0, listItems);
The second parameter accepts layout resourceID where you can populate the value (String) to the layout.
You can use the layout of android framework which is android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(MainActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, listItems);
