Refresh ListView from within a custom ListView class

Question

I use a LoaderManager to fill the Adapter of my ListView with data. I implemented the LoaderManager.Callbacks but I can't refresh the ListView to display the new data. Calling adapter.notifyDatasetChanged(), invalidate() or postInvalidate() does nothing.

Some code:

@Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<ArrayList<Items>> arrayListLoader, ArrayList<Items> entries) {
    Log.i("TAG", "+++ onLoadFinished() called! +++");
    switch (arrayListLoader.getId()) {
        case LOADER_ID:
            mAdapter.setData(entries);
            mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            invalidate();
            break;
    }
}

The adapter is initialized in the default constructor of the ListView class.

Adapter and ListView initialization (stripped down to relevant parts):

public CustomListView(Activity activity) {
    [...]
    mAdapter = new CustomEntryAdapter(mActivity, R.layout.row_monthlistview);
    setAdapter(mAdapter);
    mCallbacks = this;
    LoaderManager loaderManager = mActivity.getSupportLoaderManager();
    loaderManager.initLoader(LOADER_ID, null, mCallbacks);
    [...]
}

The setData method of my custom Adapter:

public void setData(ArrayList<Items> data) {
    clear();
    if (data != null) {
        for (Items aData : data) {
            add(aData);
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

Seems to be impossible in my specific case. The LoaderManager is the root of the issue, I can't bind n LoaderManager to n views.

lim n -> ∞
