You haven't created an instance of an ArrayAdapter for your itemsAdapter variable when you try to call the add() method on it.

Try to initialise it using:

itemsAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
    android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, values);

Note: values is either a String[] or List so you'll need to pass that in correctly
