            R.layout.burger_list, new String[] { " First",  " Second", " Third", " Fourth", " Fifth", " Sixth"}));
    getListView().setCacheColorHint(0);
}

@Override
public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    ((MenuActivity)getActivity()).getSlideoutHelper().close();
}


   }

Answer 1

You should pass to the array adapter also the id of the TextView resource where the text should be placed. Replace this line:

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
            R.layout.burger_list, new String[] { " First",  " Second", " Third", " Fourth", " Fifth", " Sixth"}));

with

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
            R.layout.burger_list, R.id.textView1, new String[] { " First",  " Second", " Third", " Fourth", " Fifth", " Sixth"}));
