This the MainActivity.java I think that this activity is wrong.

 package com.example.tutorial2;

    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.util.Log;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.widget.AdapterView;
    import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
    import android.widget.ListAdapter;
    import android.widget.Toast;

    public class MainActivity extends Activity {ListView userList; UserCustomAdapte userAdapter;
     ArrayList<User> userArray = new ArrayList<User>();

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
  /**
   * add item in arraylist
   */
  userArray.add(new User("Mumer", "Spain", "Spain"));
  userArray.add(new User("Jon", "EW", "USA"));
  userArray.add(new User("Broom", "Span", "SWA"));
  userArray.add(new User("Lee", "Aus", "AUS"));
  userArray.add(new User("Jon", "EW", "USA"));
  userArray.add(new User("Broom", "Span", "SWA"));
  userArray.add(new User("Lee", "Aus", "AUS"));
  /**
   * set item into adapter
   */
  userAdapter = new UserCustomAdapter(MainActivity.this, R.layout.row,
    userArray);
  userList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
  userList.setItemsCanFocus(false);
  userList.setAdapter((ListAdapter) userAdapter);
  /**
   * get on item click listener
   */
  userList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

   @Override
   public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v,
     final int position, long id) {
    Log.i("List View Clicked", "**********");
    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
      "List View Clicked:" + position, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
      .show();
   }
  });

 }

User.java

package com.example.tutorial2;

public class User {
         String name;
         String address;
         String location;

         public String getName() {
          return name;
         }

         public void setName(String name) {
          this.name = name;
         }

         public String getAddress() {
          return address;
         }

         public void setAddress(String address) {
          this.address = address;
         }

         public String getLocation() {
          return location;
         }

         public void setLocation(String location) {
          this.location = location;
         }

         public User(String name, String address, String location) {
          super();
          this.name = name;
          this.address = address;
          this.location = location;
         }

        }

Even if you are new, you could at least give some background to what research you have done. — Martin Davies, Jan 19 '14 at 15:01
Your UserCustomAdapter should extends by BaseAdapter. Just update public class UserCustomAdapter {...} to public class UserCustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter{...}. Please see this link to reference how it should looks like: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16333754/how-to-customize-listview-using-baseadapter — mamakurka, Jan 19 '14 at 17:36

You UserCustomAdapter is not implementing ListAdapter and that is why you cannot cast it to ListAdapter.

Use the below

 public class UserCustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter{ // extend ArrayAdapter 

   public UserCustomAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId,
   ArrayList<User> data) {
   super(context,layoutResourceId,data); // change constructor

And set adapter as

 userList.setAdapter(userAdapter);

How can I fix this runtime error?
