remove row from another activity

Question

I have a listview which is inflated by custom array adapter and onclick takes it to another activity with the data related to that row .After clicking on delete its supposed to delete the item from the list and get back to the list.

I am using the code below for this :

int deleteposition=CustomizedListView.deleteposition;
CustomizedListView.list.removeViewAt(deleteposition);
CustomizedListView.adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

finish();

But there is an error at this line :

 CustomizedListView.list.removeViewAt(deleteposition);

Please Tell me how to fix it ?

You are approaching this problem in the wrong manner. Rather than remove the View from the AdapterView, simply remove the data from the data set and call notifyDataSetChanged(). (This will remove the unwanted View automatically.)
