Solution

  • Instead of

    ArrayAdapter<Tweet> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<Tweet>(getActivity(), android.R.layout.fragment_twitter, twits);
    

    use

    ArrayAdapter<Tweet> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<Tweet>(getActivity(), R.layout.fragment_twitter, twits);
    

    R.layout.* are layouts you provide (in res/layout, for example).But android.R.layout.* are layouts that ship with the Android SDK.

    Update

    In order to get rid of java.lang.RuntimeException: Content has view with id attribute 'android.R.id.list' that is not a ListView class

    Add a ListView with an android:id of @android:id/list to your layout, where you want the list to appear.

    Or, delete your onCreateView() implementation, so you get the inherited ListView that you get from ListFragment.
