What I need:

I am added the Delete button in adaper xml(view_member_entry.xml).Because I need to perform delete operation for each list view row items.Anybody can help me with this.Thank you.

Answer 1

the layout file of main activity is activity_main.xml: and it is not having a element as button with name delete_btn , but there is a button as the element of view_member_entry.xml: ,

Answer 2

You are loading activity_main in the activity and trying to get delete_btn from there. But there isn't any delete_btn in that layout xml. Check your code.
