title: How to put a listview inside of a fragment in android?
body: <p>I'm trying to put a simple listview inside my fragment. I'm getting an error when I run it as is. I wasn't expecting it to work with the current code I have, but I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>My code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Tab1Fragment extends ListFragment {
  
  ListView listView;
  
  @Override
  public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
          Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  
      LinearLayout theLayout = (LinearLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab1, container, false);
      listView = (ListView)theLayout.findViewById(R.id.ListView01);
      return theLayout;
  }
  
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  
      // Use an existing ListAdapter that will map an array
      // of strings to TextViews
      setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;(getActivity().getApplicationContext(),
              android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mStrings));
      getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true);
  }
  
  private String[] mStrings = {
          "Action", "Adventure", "Animation", "Children", "Comedy", "Documentary", "Drama",
          "Foreign", "History", "Independent", "Romance", "Sci-Fi", "Television", "Thriller"
      };

  <p>my runtime error: </p>
