You cannot do findViewById outside onCreate().
Do it like this:
public class Messages extends ListActivity{
ArrayList<String> listItems=new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
ImageButton send;
EditText message;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.messages);
//put the code here
send=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.messages_send);
message=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.messages_message);
adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
listItems);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
public void Itemclick(View v)
{
listItems.add(message.getText().toString());
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
