Question

I need to change Activity to ListActivity. But I can't start my project... do ı need change manifest.xml for it??

Or how can I change screen from Activity to ListActivity? Is there any difference to startActivity(new Intent(this, list.class)) ?

Answer 1

Try reading stack traces. It tells you exactly what you need: "Your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list'"

Answer 2

The ID of your ListView must be: "@android:id/list". This way the ListActivity will find it.
