I am trying to display a ListView from an ArrayList defined in the Application class. However, I end up with a NullPointerException whenever I scroll with no cause given the in the Logcat.
LogCat output:

Apparently, convertView.getTag() method is returning null for some reason, and hence all the problem. The same code was working fine when I was earlier using direct reference to an Array defined in myApp but then I switched to using ArrayList of a custom class holding different data types.
If it matters, the ListView activity is contained inside a Tabhost containing 3 tabs.
Any help with this will be much appreciated. Thanks!
you were missing conertView.setTag(holder);
