Android splashscreen and password

Question

I'm trying to add a password (I don't it with alertDialog) and a splashscreen (were is my problem) the password works when it asks but before that I get a crash cause of the splashscreen that dosen't work.

I made a XML file for the splashscreen

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
android:orientation="vertical" 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">  
<ImageView android:id="@+id/splashscreen" 
android:layout_gravity="center" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
android:src="@drawable/untitled">  
</ImageView></LinearLayout>

And when I try to add the command to get the splashscreen in the main program

  AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);                 
    alert.setTitle("Login");  
    alert.setMessage("Enter Pin :");  
    alert.setCancelable(false);

    setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen);

     // Set an EditText view to get user input   
     final EditText input = new EditText(this); 
     alert.setView(input);

        alert.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {  
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {  
            String value = input.getText().toString();
            String compar = "123456";
                if(value.equals(compar))
                {
                    Log.d( TAG, "Pin Value : " + value);
                   copiezmView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                }    
                else
                {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Acces Denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    alerta();
                }

I get this crash

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{///////}: java.lang.RuntimeException: Your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list'

So what am I doing wrong? The purpose of the splashscreen is that I want to be behind the AlertDialog and in front of what's in the back so the user if dosen't know the password can't see what's behind that ( I did with setView but that works only on linearLayout and not on PrefferenceScreen

What I can tell from 1 line crash output is, you are having a ListActivity. And you have not given the ListView id as @android:id/list.

Give listview id as

android:id="@android:id/list"

And your problem would be solved. Hope it helps.

Thank you for the fast response, but that's my problem i don't know were exacly it refferes to that listView – Mircea Mihai Apr 12 '13 at 12:55
@MirceaMihai Have you any listactivity? The file being set in that activity must be containing one listview, right? Its Id should be changed. – MysticMagicϡ Apr 12 '13 at 12:59
Thats the funny thing that the app dosen't have. What i done is that i add this -> setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen); – Mircea Mihai Apr 12 '13 at 13:03
And the splashscreen.xml contains this -> – Mircea Mihai Apr 12 '13 at 13:04
That's strange. Can you edit your question to contain full logcat output and SplashScreen.java 's code? @MirceaMihai – MysticMagicϡ Apr 12 '13 at 13:06
@MirceaMihai And make sure you have not extended ListActivity by mistake. – MysticMagicϡ Apr 12 '13 at 13:09
Well i searched the code (the project dosen't belong to me what i want to change to the actual code to add a password request and a splashscreen ) The part with the password i done... in exchange the problem is with the splashscreen Thank you for the help you gave me till now, hope you can guide me somehow cause i'm spending almost a week on it hehe – Mircea Mihai Apr 12 '13 at 13:16
