ListView adapter data change without ListView being notified

Question

I\'ve written a ListActivity that has a custom list adapter. The list is being updated from a ContentProvider when onCreate is run. I also have a service that gets started

Answer 1

If you want to update the UI listview from a service then you should call notifyDataSetChanged() on onDestroy of the service

make the adapter static from your main activity and call that adaptername.notifyDataSetChanged()

like this

@Override
       public void onDestroy() {

               if (MainActivity.isInFront == true) {
                       if (MainActivity.adapter != null)
                               MainActivity.adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                       MainActivity.listView.setAdapter(MainActivity.adapter);
               }
}
