What is wrong with LayoutInflator.Inflate method in the following code?

Question

When the statement convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.listitem_course, null); execute in the following overridden method of BaseAdapter the app stops. I dont know why.

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    Log.i(StudyManagerDataSource.LOG_TAG,
            "CourseListAdapter -> getView called!");
    if (convertView == null) {
        Log.i(StudyManagerDataSource.LOG_TAG,
                "CourseListAdapter -> Convet view is null called 1!");
        convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.listitem_course, null);

        mViewHolder = new ViewHolder();

        mViewHolder.courseNameTextView = (TextView) convertView
                .findViewById(R.id.courseNameTextView);

        convertView.setTag(mViewHolder);

    } else {
        mViewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
    }

    Course mCourse = mCourses.get(position);

    mViewHolder.courseNameTextView.setText(mCourse.getCourseName());

    Log.i(StudyManagerDataSource.LOG_TAG,
            "CourseListAdapter -> getView executed!");

    return convertView;
}

The code for listitem_course is as follows:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/courseNameTextView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="20sp" />
</LinearLayout>

mInflater is the variable defined at the beginning as `private LayoutInflater mInflater;` — Shajeel Afzal, Feb 18 '13 at 18:14
Have you set minflatter=context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE) before inflating the view — Pragnani, Feb 18 '13 at 18:22

You should use this to inflate your item:

mInflater.inflate(R.layout.listitem_course, parent, false);

EDIT:

The parent is the ViewGroup in which your inflated view will be inserted, in your case, the parent argument from the getView() method..
