I’m currently trying to fill a fragment with an asynchronous task. It’s mainly an exercise since the real implementation will get the data out of an SQLite database – however I have to implement the GSON/SOAP sync at some time – and I guess the problem stays the same.
I’m not able to fill my FragmentList after I fetch all the data from the webservice, I get an NullReferenceException – but I can’t really find my mistake.
I don’t get an exception if the webservice isn’t returning any data.
On a Sitenote – why is Android contacting the webservice again when I change the orientation of the phone

In the code, you are doing nothing but just print stack trace when exception get caught. Your doInBackground() always returns a kantinen. you should examine and handle NULL situation in your onPostExecute()
