    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(
                MainActivity.this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,data);
        ListView listView=(ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_view);
        listView.setAdapter(adapter);
    }
}
 Elements in an array cannot be passed directly to ListView, You need an adapter to do .
 Finally, you need to call ListView Of setAdapter() Method , Pass the constructed adapter object in .
