notifyDataSetChanged example

Question

I'm trying to use in my Android Application the notifyDataSetChanged method for an ArrayAdapter but it doesnt't work for me.

I found as answer here, that notifyDataSetChanged should run in the main thread, but there was no example for that.

Could anybody send an example or at least a link?!

You can use the runOnUiThread method as follows. If you're not using a ListActivity, just adapt the code to get a reference to your ArrayAdapter.

final ArrayAdapter adapter = ((ArrayAdapter)getListAdapter());
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }
});
