    TextView tView = new TextView(this);
    getListView().addHeaderView(tView);

    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, results));
    getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true);

Problem is described in the following line.

Your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list'

Since you are using ListActivity your ListView view must have id in the name 'android.R.id.list'. Code is fine otherwise.

So you need a respective change in your xml file.

EDIT

You can put the following code in your ListView

EDIT II

android:id="@android:id/list"

Try calling the following after setContentView()

ListView listview = getListView();

If you are using ListActivity then in your xml file just change this for ListView id

 android:id="@android:id/list"

and in your Activity call this 

ListView lv = getListView();

If you are using Activity then just find id of your ListView in your java file by

Listview mListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.myListView);

and set adapter for that

mListView.setAdapter(mAdapter);

Make a reference to a ListView in your layout

Listview mListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.myListView);

Then call things like 

mListView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
