Calling Custom ListView Adapter from Fragment Class Main Activity
I've written a few listView activities, as a proof of concept for myself that I could do it. Now, I'm having trouble loading a listView activity into a single tab for an app with multiple tabs, that allows both swiping and tab selection for navigation. I get the error "The constructor ListView_Adapter(MainActivity.DummySectionFragment) is undefined" when I try to write the code for it. I'm a beginner, and I've lurked pretty hard here for the past few days. Any help is appreciated.
TL;DR : I'm a n00b, and I can't figure out this problem.
My Custom List Adapter
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class CustomListViewAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
public CustomListViewAdapter (Context c) {
super(c, R.layout.list_cell);
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View row = convertView;
ListView_Text holder = null;
if (row == null)
{
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_cell, parent, false);
holder = new ListView_Text(row);
row.setTag(holder);
}
else
{
holder = (ListView_Text) row.getTag();
}
holder.populateFrom(getItem(position));
return row;
}
static class ListView_Text {
private TextView cell_name = null;
ListView_Text(View row) {
cell_name = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.list_cell_name);
}
void populateFrom(String index) {
cell_name.setText(index);
}
}
}

Answer
Instead of listViewAdapter = new ListView_Adapter(this);, you should instead try listViewAdapter = new ListView_Adapter(getActivity().getBaseContext());
The Issue is that you are passing a Fragment to the constructor, and not an Activity context.
