why does my listview not update when I call notifyDatasetChanged() ? the only way I can make it display the data is, to call setAdatper() on the ListView again... i also tried to call it via runOnUIThread() which did not change anything

The Activity
The XMLLoaderThread works fine, it's just notifyDatasetChanged seems to do nothing...
