I got a very specific task to inflate view. To be honest i dont really understand what I should do exactly. The only method, which compiled probperly was that
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
//TODO - Get the current ToDoItem
final ToDoItem toDoItem = mItems.get(position);
//TODO - Inflate the View for this ToDoItem
// from todo_item.xml.
RelativeLayout itemLayout = (RelativeLayout)convertView.findViewById(R.id.RelativeLayout1);``
But now I got null pointer. So how should I properly inflate it? XML code below.

You need to inflate a layout before initializing views.
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.yourlayout, parent, false);
In the constructor initialize mInflater
LayoutInflater mInflater; //declare
Then in constructor
mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context); // context pass to the constructor of adapter
