Android: How to get reference to listView?
<p>I am trying to use a <code>MapView</code> in conjunction with a <code>ListView</code>. My understanding is that I need to extend <code>MapActivity</code> and then get a reference to the <code>ListView</code> to be used in my class. My problem is that I cannot get a reference to the <code>ListView</code>. </p>

<p>This is my XML:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;AbsoluteLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/AbsoluteLayout1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" &gt;

    &lt;com.google.android.maps.MapView
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/mapview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:layout_y="0dp"
        android:clickable="true" /&gt;

    &lt;ListView
        android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="268dp"
        android:layout_y="151dp" &gt;

    &lt;/ListView&gt;

&lt;/AbsoluteLayout&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>This is how I am trying to get a reference to the <code>ListView</code>:</p>

<pre><code>//instance vars
ListView listView;

//get ref to listview
listView = findViewById(R.id.list);
</code></pre>

<p>For some reason it says that list is not a field. Am I referencing it incorrectly?</p>

<p>Any help appreciated.</p>
