Crash on hiding View

Question

I have a search bar at the top of a listview and there is an action button which toggles the visibility of the search bar...

The search bar is shown correctly, however when I hide it the app crashes. This is the code to toggle the view...

/**
 * Show / Hide the search box
 */
private void toggleSearch()
{

    //in the instance there are not customers...a crash will occur when searching
    if(customers.length > 0)
    {
            if(searchVisible)//hide the search bar
            {               
                searchFrame.setVisibility(View.GONE);

                Log.i("SEARCH", "HIDDEN");

                searchVisible = false;

                Log.i("SEARCH", "BOOLEAN SET");

                resetList();

                Log.i("SEARCH", "LIST RESET?");
            }
            else//show the search bar
            {                   
                searchFrame.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                searchVisible = true;
            }
        }

}

and here is the LogCat output...

any ideas?

Thanks

EDIT: here is resetList() as requested

/**
 * Revert the ListView to it's original order
 */
private void resetList()
{
    try
    {
        adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.listview_container, R.id.name, customers);
        lv.setAdapter(adapter); 
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        Library.errorHandler("resetList", e);
    }
}

Answer 1

Just spotted my mistake in resetList()

I have...

adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.listview_container, R.id.name, customers);

and it should have been ...

adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.listview_text, R.id.name, customers);
