I have an app which loads a listview when opened, however I am getting an Array Index Out Of Bounds Exception, with no clues as to where the problem lies. It is trying to access index=-1 somewhere, but I have no idea where.
The app loads Homework information from a database, puts them into separate Homework objects in an ArrayList and loads it into the ListView from there. I really don't know where the exception is coming from, I have checked all my code. There is only 1 homework in the list, however the app refuses to open and force closes as soon as I try to open it. Here is the LogCat output
Thanks

I am totally reloading the main Activity when this happens, so it appears to be a problem opening it after the app has been closed once.
EDIT 2: I deleted the data from the app, added a new Homework and now I cannot recreate the problem.. What could have caused this?!
EDIT 3: PROBLEM DETECTED. It is to do with some of the text. I have worked out that when I set the 'title' to "Binomial Expansion" it recreated the error that I had before when the homework was also called "Binomial Expansion". Could it be to do with trying to put that String in the TextView and the text being too large?
I have extended the width of the TextView and it stopped the error. When I extended the text I got the issue again. It must be a problem with the text view overflowing. Are there any TextView properties I can set to stop this?
