I created an app composed of listview of teachers wherein the data is in sqlite. When i click one of the listview, the profile of teacher will appear and there's a list of students inside of it. BTW the profile of teacher has a scroll since it has many info. I apply the top answer here so the listview will automatically extends depends on the number of students of the teacher. But i got error when i apply this. I'll post the error and my code below.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button btnback, btnnext, btnbackprofile;
TextView profileteacher;
List<TeacherModel> GetAllTeacher;
List<StudentModel> GetTeacherStudent;

DatabaseHelper dbhelper;
DatabaseHelper db = new DatabaseHelper(this);

dbhelper.createDataBase();
}
catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
dbhelper.openDataBase();
} catch (SQLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
//Till here
GetAllTeacher = dbhelper.getAllTeacher(index);
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.teacher_list);
lv.setAdapter(new ViewAdapter());
