Res/Arrays affecting TextView

Question

I populate a listview from a JSON object. This works fine

    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_items, name){
        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            View v = convertView;
            if (v == null) {
                LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                v = vi.inflate(R.layout.list_items, null);
            }
            TextView mDistanceTextView = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.listitems_distancetxt);
            TextView mNameTextView = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.listitems_nametxt);
            TextView mCategoryTextView = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.listitems_categorytxt);
            if (mDistanceTextView != null) {
                mDistanceTextView.setText(distance[position]);
            }
            if (mNameTextView != null) {
                mNameTextView.setText(name[position]);                           
            }
            if(mCategoryTextView != null) {
                mCategoryTextView.setText(type[position]);
                setImage(type[position], v);
            }

            return v;
        }

However in a different activity I want to populate a spinner object so I created a new XML file called arrays.xml and it was located in the res/values folder. When I do this and run the program (without changing any code) the textViews all show null and so don't enter the if statement and so don't populate the view.

In case anybody has stumbled upon this question. It was just a matter of running a clean build
