Android: Custom ListAdapter extending BaseAdapter crashes on application launch.

Question

Data being pulled from a local DB, then mapped using a cursor. Custom Adapter displays data similar to a ListView. As items are added/deleted from the DB, the adapter is supposed to refresh. The solution attempted below crashes the application at launch. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, -D

    @Override
 public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
  View v = convertView;
        ViewGroup p = parent;

  if (v == null) {

            LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            v = vi.inflate(R.layout.items_row, p);
        }
  int size = mAdapter.getCount();
  Log.d(TAG, "position " + position + " Size " + size);
  if(size != 0){
   if(position < size) return mAdapter.getView(position, v, p);
   Log.d(TAG, "-position " + position + " Size " + size);
  }
  return null;
 }

Answer 1

v = vi.inflate(R.layout.items_row, p);

Add a false third parameter to that call, and I think your problem will go away.

Answer 2

Thanks, that seemed about right. However, we had another bug which caused us to change our code to the following.

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    int size = mAdapter.getCount();
    Log.d(TAG, "position " + position + " Size " + size);
    if(size != 0){
        // if(position < size) return mAdapter.getView(position, v, p);
        if(position < size) return mAdapter.getView(position, convertView, parent);
    }
    return null;
}

Answer 3

@Danny S, can you show me the entire code for the Activity?? I have a problem mapping data from Cursor to a custom list adapter.
