Question

I am trying to make an app that parses data from Twitter using JSON and get the live twitter feed, I was successfully able to log the data into the logcat, but somehow I am unable to display the same in the ListView, the last news feed is showing up in the ListView but the rest of feeds are gone. I add them in an Arraylist before using an ArrayAdapter to do so.What is wrong with my code, am I parsing the JSONArray and JSONObject correctly or is there any conversion that I am missing?

public class readingtwitterfeedsActivity extends ListActivity {

    @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   // setContentView(R.layout.main);
    String readTwitterFeed = readTwitterFeed();
    try {
        JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(readTwitterFeed);
        Log.i(readingtwitterfeedsActivity.class.getName(),
                "Number of entries " + jsonArray.length());
        for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
            JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
            Log.i(readingtwitterfeedsActivity.class.getName(),   jsonObject.getString("text"));
            List<String> al=new ArrayList<String>();
            al.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("text"));
            ArrayAdapter<String> adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, al);
            setListAdapter(adapter);
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

  public String readTwitterFeed() {
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
    HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(
            "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/bbcnews.json");
    try {
        HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpGet);
        StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
        int statusCode = statusLine.getStatusCode();
        if (statusCode == 200) {
            HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
            InputStream content = entity.getContent();
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(content));
            String line;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                builder.append(line);
            }
        } else {
            Log.e(readingtwitterfeedsActivity.class.toString(), "Failed to download file");
        }
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return builder.toString();
}
}

Just initializing the string array before the for loop and set adapter after completion of for loop..

Try this, replace in your code.

List<String> al=new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
            JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
            Log.i(readingtwitterfeedsActivity.class.getName(),   jsonObject.getString("text"));

            al.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("text"));

        }
 ArrayAdapter<String> adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, al);
            setListAdapter(adapter);
