#id not displaying when creating a listview - android-studio

Question

When dragging and dropping in design to create a list view, the only code that got created in my xml was :
<ListView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
No android:id="#id/example"/ was created. I need to call it for my Fragment class
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_details, container, false);
String[] menuItems={"Example1","Example2","Example3"};
ListView listView = (ListView)view.findViewById(R.id.example);
return view;
}
I can't call my ListView because android studio wont let me create an id for it. I get the following error when writing the code in Cannot resolve symbol '#id/example', Validates resources references inside Android XML files
What am i missing?

Answer 1

ID
Any View object may have an integer ID associated with it, to uniquely
identify the View within the tree. When the app is compiled, this ID
is referenced as an integer, but the ID is typically assigned in the
layout XML file as a string, in the id attribute. This is an XML
attribute common to all View objects (defined by the View class) and
you will use it very often. The syntax for an ID, inside an XML tag
is:
android:id="#+id/example"
The at-symbol (#) at the beginning of the string indicates that the
XML parser should parse and expand the rest of the ID string and
identify it as an ID resource. The plus-symbol (+) means that this is
a new resource name that must be created and added to our resources
(in the R.java file). There are a number of other ID resources that
are offered by the Android framework. When referencing an Android
resource ID, you do not need the plus-symbol, but must add the android
package namespace, like so:
android:id="#android:id/example"
With the android package namespace in place, we're now referencing an
ID from the android.R resources class, rather than the local resources
class.

If it's a new id, you need to add a + to it:
android:id="#+id/text"
