    <p>I have a custom adapter derived from <code>ArrayAdapter</code> that overrides <code>getView()</code> that we'll call <code>CustomObjectAdapter</code>. I manually add <code>View</code>s created by the adapter to a LinearLayout like below:</p> <pre><code>m_adapter = new CustomObjectAdapter(this.getApplicationContext(), R.layout.custom_object_layout, m_customObjectArrayList); m_linearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.custom_object_list_linear_layout); for (int i = 0; i &lt; m_adapter.getCount(); i++) { // Create the view for the custom object View view = m_adapter.getView(i, null, null); m_linearLayout.addView(view); } </code></pre> <p>I populate a <code>LinearLayout</code> with <code>View</code>s instead of using a <code>ListView</code>, because I it's contained within a <code>Fragment</code> in which I want the entire area to be scrollable--rather than just the area within the <code>ListView</code>. I found this solution in this StackOverflow question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12405575/using-a-listadapter-to-fill-a-linearlayout-inside-a-scrollview-layout">Using a ListAdapter to fill a LinearLayout inside a ScrollView layout</a>.</p> <p>In the same class that these <code>View</code>s get populated, the data used in the adapter's <code>getView()</code> method is updated and then I call <code>m_adapter.notifyDataSetChanged()</code>. The <code>getView()</code> function is not getting called subsequently, however. In another area of the code I am updating a adapter that's hooked up to a <code>ListView</code> in the same manner (instead of a <code>LinearLayout</code>), and it is updating appropriately. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?</p>

    1. COAn alternative rather than a solution, but you might consider the `addHeaderView` and `addFooterView` in [`ListView`](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ListView.html) in the future when you want non-list items to also be scrollable.

    2. CO@blahdiblah Thank you--I coincidentally began refactoring my code exactly as you describe using the `addHeaderView` method immediately after posting this question, and it works perfectly now! If you add your above comment to your answer, I'll accept it as the solution.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
