My search_dictionary_item_item.xml is

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left|center"
    android:paddingBottom="5dp"
    android:paddingLeft="5dp"
    android:paddingTop="10dp" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/ImageView01"
        android:layout_width="50dp"
        android:layout_height="60dp" >
    </ImageView>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView01"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:textColor="#0099CC"
        android:textSize="20dp"
        android:textStyle="bold" >
    </TextView>

    </LinearLayout>

my line 392 which is

at com.example.project.SearchDictionaryActivity$MyCustomAdapter.getView(SearchDictionaryActivity.java:392)

is

    TextView textview = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.TextView01);

i have tried 2 suggestion

1.

 public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
    {

          View row=convertView;
          Context c = null;

          if(convertView==null){
          LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater(null);
          row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.search_dictionary_item_item, parent, false);
         }

    TextView textview = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
    ImageView imageview = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.ImageView01);

    textview.setText(data_text[position]);
    imageview.setImageBitmap(data_image[position]);

    return (row);

    }

for placing null getLayoutInflater(null); I get

The method getLayoutInflater() in the type Activity is not applicable for the arguments (null)

2.Sugesstion

    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
    {

   // LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
    View row;
    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) convertView.getContext().getSystemService( Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE );

    row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.search_dictionary_item_item, parent, false);

    TextView textview = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
    ImageView imageview = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.ImageView01);

    textview.setText(data_text[position]);
    imageview.setImageBitmap(data_image[position]);

    return (row);

    }

Both Doesnot work with Logcat given Above

your convertView is never touched in suggestion #2

convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.search_dictionary_item_item, parent, false);

should fix it, you also need to return convertView instead of row

change your getview method like this..

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    if (convertView == null) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) convertView.getContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        convertView = inflater.inflate(
                R.layout.search_dictionary_item_item, null);

    }

    TextView textview = (TextView) convertView
            .findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
    ImageView imageview = (ImageView) convertView
            .findViewById(R.id.ImageView01);

    textview.setText(data_text[position]);
    imageview.setImageBitmap(data_image[position]);

    return convertView;

}

I think you used a wrong layout instead your Correct row layout, I got the same error. when I verified the row layout was another one

e.g. instead of

convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.wrong_layout, parent, false);

use

convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.Correct_layout, parent, false);
