I want to implement a to-do list application. I have three activities: one main activity, one adding activity and one editing activity. In my main activity there is a add button and a listview that shows the to-do items. When I click add button, adding activity is executed. In this activity,there is an edittext for the task, a datepicker and a spinner for priority level. When ok button is clicked, all these entred values are sent to main activity's listview as a line. And, when click an item on this list, editing activity is executed and user can change the values. However, in my code, when user enters the values, I can reach them in my custom adapter class but I could't display them in listview. Listview remains empty. How can i fix my code?
main activity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
protected static final String edits = "mainTask";
private ToDoItemAdapter listAdapter;
//private ToDoItemAdapter myCustomAdapter;
//private ArrayList<String> listString;
public ArrayList<ToDoItem> listItems;
public static final int ADD_TASKS = 1;
public static final int EDIT_TASKS = 2;
Button button;
ListView listView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
initUI();
setListener();
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
private void initUI() {
getViewReferences();
initializeToDoList();
}
private void setListener() {

button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
