Answer 1

This question might be old but I believe this is very important for me to share. I had been experiencing the same problem as OP but it is because I was using 'getApplicationContext()' in place of 'this'

Wrong

ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter
                (getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, PLACES);

Correct

ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter
                (this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, PLACES);
