Java – calling notifydatasetchanged from inside the adapter failed

I have an adapter (extended baseadapter). I tried to call notifydatasetchanged(), but it didn't work. I believe notifydatasetchanged() is actually called, based on entering it using the eclipse debugger. However, it won't call getview(). The data under my adapter is changing, as it should be. I have a method updatesettings() in the adapter, It is used to update the data at the bottom of the adapter. If I call updateSettings () from ListViewActivity, I have no problem. NotifyDataSetChanged () is the same as I expected. But when I call updateSettings () from the adapter, notifyDataSetChanged () does not work. Do I try to call notifyDataSetChanged () from the adapter to do something fundamentally wrong? Here are some of my codes:

public View getView( int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent )
{
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "Entered getView()" );
    View row = convertView;
    _settingViewHolder = new PhoneSettingViewHolder();
    final int index = position;

    /* If this is the first time the list is being built, get all of the UI widgets
     * and store them in a PhoneSettingViewHolder object for future use on
     * subsequent writing of the list.
     */
    if( row == null )
    {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)_context.getSystemService( Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE );
        row = inflater.inflate( R.layout.phone_list_complex, null, false ); 

        _settingViewHolder.txtSettingName = (TextView)row.findViewById( R.id.phone_list_complex_title );
        _settingViewHolder.txtSettingValue = (TextView)row.findViewById( R.id.phone_list_complex_caption );
        _settingViewHolder.sbTimeout = (SeekBar)row.findViewById( R.id.slider );
        _settingViewHolder.txtPercent = (TextView)row.findViewById( R.id.percent );

        _settingViewHolder.sbTimeout.setMax( 30 );
        _settingViewHolder.sbTimeout.setProgress( 1 );

        // associate this PhoneSettingViewHolder object with the row
        row.setTag( _settingViewHolder );
    }
    else
    {
        // get the PhoneSettingViewHolder object that is associated with this row
        _settingViewHolder = (PhoneSettingViewHolder)row.getTag();
    }

    // get Setting object and store values in PhoneSettingViewHolder object
    final Setting setting = _settings.get( position );
    _settingViewHolder.txtSettingName.setText( setting.getSettingName() );
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "setting.getSettingValue() = " + setting.getSettingValue() );
    _settingViewHolder.txtSettingValue.setText( setting.getSettingValue() );

    /* Event handlers for SeekBar */
    _settingViewHolder.sbTimeout.setOnSeekBarchangelistener( new OnSeekBarchangelistener() {
        public void onProgressChanged( SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean isUser )
        {
            Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "Entered onProgressChanged()" );
            String percent = String.valueOf( progress );
            updateSettings( index, percent );
        }

        public void onStartTrackingTouch( SeekBar seekBar )
        {
            // Nothing to do here
        }

        public void onStopTrackingTouch( SeekBar seekBar )
        {
            // Nothing to do here 
        }
    });


    return row;

}

In this block, I set the row view and attached the event handler to the seekbar. What I want to happen is that when someone scrolls the seekbar, it will update the text above it. This is my updatesettings() method:

    public void updateSettings( int index, String progress ) 
    {
        Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "Entered updateSettings()" );
        Setting setting = new Setting( SETTING_NAME, progress );
        _settings.set( index, setting );
        Log.d( CLASS_NAME,  "Calling notifyDataSetChanged()" );
        notifyDataSetChanged();
        Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "Returned from notifyDataSetChanged()" );
    }

Any opinion is appreciated!

thank you.

Just add

**Within your adapter, the application will reload your list
