android attaching multiple adapters to one adapter

I have been using the SeparatedListAdapter which is very well known and works perfectly, but it seems that I cannot use the addSection() to add a SimpleAdapter, because the application is terminated. I'm providing some code to show you what I'm trying to do and get some guidance in order solve this issue. Please let me know if you need any other piece of code or anything:

// Declarations

private SimpleAdapter _resultsAdapter;
private ArrayAdapter<String> _adapter;
private List<Map<String,?>> _resultsList;
private ArrayList<String> _stringList = new ArrayList<String>();

// Much of source code here

// The following lines work (I can addSection()).
    _adapter =  new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.custom_list_item, _stringList);
    _sla = new SeparatedListAdapter(this);
    _sla.addSection("Input Data", _adapter);  

// More source code here...

// The following causes a crash
_resultsList.add(createItem(resultTitle.toString(), fieldDetails.toString())); // Loading data in a loop (works 100%)
_resultsAdapter = new SimpleAdapter(CompanyInfoServiceViewActivity.this, _resultsList, R.layout.list_complex, new String[] { ITEM_TITLE, ITEM_CAPTION }, new int[] { R.id.list_complex_title, R.id.list_complex_caption });
_sla.addSection("Results", _resultsAdapter); // Crashes here. _sla is not null (see above)

You can use MergeAdapter for your ListView. This is my modified and fully tested version.

/**
* Adapter that merges multiple child adapters and views into a single
* contiguous whole.
* 
* Adapters used as pieces within MergeAdapter must have view type IDs
* monotonically increasing from 0. Ideally, adapters also have distinct ranges
* for their row ids, as returned by getItemId().
* 
*/
public class MergeAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements SectionIndexer {
    protected ArrayList<ListAdapter> pieces = new ArrayList<ListAdapter>();
    protected String noItemsText;

    /**
    * Stock constructor, simply chaining to the superclass.
    */
    public MergeAdapter() {
        super();
    }

    /**
    * Adds a new adapter to the roster of things to appear in the aggregate
    * list.
    * 
    * @param adapter
    *            Source for row views for this section
    */
    public void addAdapter(ListAdapter adapter) {
        pieces.add(adapter);
        adapter.registerDataSetObserver(new CascadeDataSetObserver());
    }

    /**
    * Get the data item associated with the specified position in the data set.

    public Object getItem(int position) {
        for (ListAdapter piece : pieces) {
            int size = piece.getCount();

            if (position < size) {
                return (piece.getItem(position));

            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }

        @Override
        public void onInvalidated() {
            notifyDataSetInvalidated();
        }
    }
}

You also will need ListTitleAdapter to put some titles before each adapter if you want.

  public class ListTitleAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

      Context context;
      String text;
      BaseAdapter parentAdapter;

      public ListTitleAdapter(Context c, String textToShow) {
          this(c, textToShow, null);
  }

      public ListTitleAdapter(Context c, String textToShow, BaseAdapter dependentAdapter) {
      super();
      context = c;
      text = textToShow;

      if(dependentAdapter != null){
          parentAdapter = dependentAdapter;
      }
  }

      public int getCount() {
      if(parentAdapter != null){
          if(parentAdapter.getCount() == 0){
              return 0;
          }
      }
      return 1;
  }

      public Object getItem(int position) {
      return position;
  }

      public long getItemId(int position) {
      return position;
  }

      public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
      LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(context);
      TextView textView = new TextView(context);
      textView.setText(text);

      layout.addView(textView);

      return layout;
  }
  }

And here is small example on how to use these two classes.

MergeAdapter mergeAdapter = new MergeAdapter();

mergeAdapter.addAdapter(new ListTitleAdapter(context, "Title1", someAdapter1));
mergeAdapter.addAdapter(someAdapter1);

mergeAdapter.addAdapter(new ListTitleAdapter(context, "Title2", someAdapter2));
mergeAdapter.addAdapter(someAdapter2);

mergeAdapter.addAdapter(new ListTitleAdapter(context, "Title3", someAdapter3));
mergeAdapter.addAdapter(someAdapter3);

mergeAdapter.setNoItemsText("Nothing to display. This list is empty.");
((ListView)findViewById(R.id.list)).setAdapter(mergeAdapter);

Added this line:

setListAdapter(_sla);

below the line:

_sla.addSection("Results", _resultsAdapter);
