Thanks for the reply, I was afraid of that. I am writing a c++ wrapper for the Java. In the environment I am talking about, the ListView is created via a call from a c++ module. However, on the Java side, I can see the ListView and it's adapter being created. I can see calls to the adapter,

Oy. Double oy. lol, now do you see why I didn't mention it in my initial post. I do thank you for taking a crack at solving my problem anyway! If I had to guess, your ListView is not being added to any parent, so there is no need for it to ever call getView() on the adapter. I don't

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

I have based my adapter on ListAdapter which does not seem to have a notifyDataSetChanged method. Should I be using an ArrayAdapter? Thanks again. On May 25, 4:21 pm, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: John Gaby wrote: Thanks much for your help.  The hiearchyviewer is a NICE tool of

Well I switched to using BaseAdapter but that didn't help. If I set the list before I added the ListView to it's ViewGroup, it would work, but if I changed the list after it was added and then called notifyDataSetChanged, I ended up with an empty list, just like before. So it got me to thinking
