My Adapter for my ListView is giving me this error: UnsupportedOperationException: addView(View, LayoutParams) is not supported in AdapterView

I am trying to figure out why, but I am not sure. I looked and looked and I'm positive that I typed everything in that I was suppose to. I will post my code below.

Adapter Class:

public class MyAgendaAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
    ArrayList<Agenda> agendas = new ArrayList<Agenda>();

public MyAgendaAdapter() {
    agendas.add(new Agenda());
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return agendas.size();
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    return agendas.get(position);
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) { 
    return position;
}

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    if(convertView == null) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.agenda, parent, false);
    }

    Agenda agenda = agendas.get(position); //get the agenda from the ArrayList

    TextView nameTextView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.agenda_name);
    nameTextView.setText(agenda.getEvent());

    TextView timeTextView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.agenda_time);
    timeTextView.setText(agenda.getTime());

    TextView locationTextView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.agenda_location);
    locationTextView.setText(agenda.getLocation());



    return convertView;
     }

}

Main Activity class:

public class MainDisplayActivity extends Activity {
    MyAgendaAdapter agendaAdapter;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.agenda_list); 
    agendaAdapter = new MyAgendaAdapter();
    list.setAdapter(agendaAdapter);
    }

}

I omitted the imports. Assuming that my layouts and ID's are correct, does anyone know what the issue is?

Edit (Exact errors on the logcat):

Solution

  • EDIT:

    So after conversation edit MyAgendaAdapter class and edit it's conctructor like this:

    public MyAgendaAdapter(Context c) {
    this.context = c;
    agendas.add(new Agenda());
}

    So you will have:

    public class MyAgendaAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    Context context;
    ArrayList<Agenda> agendas = new ArrayList<Agenda>();

public MyAgendaAdapter() {
    agendas.add(new Agenda());
}
...

    Then add this to your getView method

    LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
if(convertView == null) {
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.agenda, null);
    }

    And then you will call like this:

    ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.agenda_list); 
    agendaAdapter = new MyAgendaAdapter(this);
    list.setAdapter(agendaAdapter);

    And tell me then.

    So alternative way which inner class:

    public class MainDisplayActivity extends Activity {
    MyAgendaAdapter agendaAdapter;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.agenda_list); 
    agendaAdapter = new MyAgendaAdapter();
    list.setAdapter(agendaAdapter);
    }

private class MyAgendaAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    ArrayList<Agenda> agendas = new ArrayList<Agenda>();

public MyAgendaAdapter() {
    agendas.add(new Agenda());
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return agendas.size();
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    return agendas.get(position);
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) { 
    return position;
}

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
    if(convertView == null) {
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.agenda, null);
    }

    Agenda agenda = agendas.get(position); //get the agenda from the ArrayList

    TextView nameTextView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.agenda_name);
    nameTextView.setText(agenda.getEvent());

    TextView timeTextView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.agenda_time);
    timeTextView.setText(agenda.getTime());

    TextView locationTextView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.agenda_location);
    locationTextView.setText(agenda.getLocation());



    return convertView;
     }

}

}
