Question

I’m aware of the setListShown(false) and setListShown(true) issue when using the Compatibility Library with ListFragments, but how do I display a ListFragment regardless of this bug? My ArrayAdapter getView() method never fires for some reason…

Bug:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17096

DateAdapter.java

class DateAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<DateVO> {

    //constructor
    public DateAdapter(Context context) {
        super(context, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2);
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        Log.i("tag", "getView"); //never called
        ...

MyFragment.as

public class MyFragment extends ListFragment implements LoaderCallbacks<ArrayList<DateVO>> {
...
    @Override
        public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
            m_adapter = new DateAdapter(context);
            setListAdapter(m_adapter);
            //setListShown(false);

            //initialize the loader
            getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this);
        }
...

Ok, got this to load content from my custom loader… finally! And since setListShown(true|false) doesn’t work properly with the compatibility lib,
I simply created a custom ProgressDialog added via a DialogFragment. If you wish to see code just respond and I’ll post.
