I'm having a really odd problem with my android listview. The listview is inside of a fragment, everything's compiling and I'm no longer getting a nullpointer error, but the listview is appearing empty. Even though it's appearing empty, the log is stating that the listview has 385 objects. I can't figure out why it's empty. I do get a blue fragment, and the listview is populated. Any ideas?

How I set the adapter:

ActivePackages = getList();
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)   this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);        
LinearLayout mContainer = (LinearLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_frag1_layout, null);
ListView activeList = (ListView) mContainer.findViewById(R.id.activelist);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, ActivePackages);
Log.i("valueof activeList",String.valueOf(activeList.getCount())); //returns 0 
activeList.setAdapter(adapter);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Log.i("valueof activeList",String.valueOf(activeList.getCount())); //returns 385. 

This is the xml for the fragment:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ListView 
        android:id="@+id/activelist"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" 
        android:background="#0073fd">    
    </ListView>

</LinearLayout>
