Thanks much for your help. The hiearchyviewer is a NICE tool of which I was unaware. Unfortunately it simply shows that my ListView has no children (rows). I believe I have discovered the problem, however, and am able to reproduce it with a pure Java application. It seems that if I call the 'setAdapter' method AFTER I have place the ListView into it's parent, then it doesn't work. I actually had not initially done that, but I needed a way for the ListView to refresh after I changed it's contents. It SEEMED that if I reset the adapter that it would then ask me for the data again (it does ask for the count), but clearly this does not work. So the real question is how do I tell the ListView to reload the data after I have changed the data that underlies the ListAdapter.
