You have to change the following expression : @+id/listView1 to a special one which is : @android:id/list.

You have to follow the syntax below :

@id/name_id Or @+id/name_id for adding a new one.

Still Doesn't Work For Some Reason.....

Is this how you do it?

Code :

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity" >

<ListView
    android:id="@android:id/listView1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
</ListView>

</RelativeLayout>

Thank you For helping me Elyslabassi! :D
