The following is my Activity class:

public class ArticlesActivity extends BaseActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.articles);

        String[] items = {"line#1", "line#2", "line#3", "line#4"};
        ListView articlesList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.articlesList);

//      ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.article_item, items);
//      ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.article_item, R.id.articlesList, items);
//      ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.articles, R.id.articleItem, items);
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.id.articleItem, items);

        articlesList.setAdapter(adapter);

    }
}

Here's my ArticlesList.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/articlesContainer"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/articlesList"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
    </ListView>

</LinearLayout>

And here's my Article_item.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="left|right"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/articleItem"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TextView" />

</LinearLayout>

<!-- <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/articleItem"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> -->

This question mirrors my situation and I tried adjusting my Article_item.xml to have just a TextView (which is commented out) but it made no difference.

first of all are you sure that you are including the right xml files in your activity? — hardartcore

Please try this:

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.Article_item, items);

Try your xml Article_item.xml like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>   
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/TV_articleItem"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="TextView" />

and use this in your activity

String[] items = {"line#1", "line#2", "line#3", "line#4"};
ListView articlesList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.articlesList);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.Article_item, R.id.TV_articleItem, items);
articlesList.setAdapter(adapter);

Thanks for this. In the ArrayAdapter constructor I was using the ArticlesList layout and the ArticleItem resource rather than the ArticleItem layout and the ArticleItem resource. Your help is appreciated.
