Calling Custom ListView Adapter from Fragment Class Main Activity

Question

I've written a few listView activities, as a proof of concept for myself that I could do it. Now, I'm having trouble loading a listView activity into a single tab for an app with multiple tabs, that allows both swiping and tab selection for navigation. I get the error "The constructor ListView_Adapter(MainActivity.DummySectionFragment) is undefined" when I try to write the code for it. I'm a beginner, and I've lurked pretty hard here for the past few days. Any help is appreciated.

TL;DR : I'm a n00b, and I can't figure out this problem.

My Custom List Adapter

    import android.content.Context;
    import android.view.LayoutInflater;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.view.ViewGroup;
    import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
    import android.widget.TextView;

    public class CustomListViewAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {

        public CustomListViewAdapter (Context c) {
            super(c, R.layout.list_cell);
        }

        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            View row = convertView;
            ListView_Text holder = null;

            if (row == null)
            {
                LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

                row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_cell, parent, false);
                holder = new ListView_Text(row);
                row.setTag(holder);
            }
            else
            {
                holder = (ListView_Text) row.getTag();
            }

            holder.populateFrom(getItem(position));

            return row;
        }

        static class ListView_Text {
            private TextView cell_name = null;

            ListView_Text(View row) {
                cell_name = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.list_cell_name);
            }

            void populateFrom(String index) {
                cell_name.setText(index);
            }

        }
    }

Answer 1

Instead of listViewAdapter = new ListView_Adapter(this);, you should instead try listViewAdapter = new ListView_Adapter(getActivity().getBaseContext());

The Issue is that you are passing a Fragment to the constructor, and not an Activity context.
