this question is is similar to this - Android - Listview delete item and Refresh .
I cant refresh my adapter with :
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
I tried:
adapter.remove(adapter.getItem(pos));
but without success, just one time (weird...).
there is another answer there:
Call that Activity once again Using Intent
sombody can give me the exact code for this (or for the adapter/cursor) ?
I am trying this for a couple of hours without success.
my full code:
protected void onCreate (Bundle SavedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(SavedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.personalmessageview);
    headtitle= getIntent().getExtras().getString("head");
    setTitle(headtitle);
     personalresults = getIntent().getExtras().getStringArrayList("personalres");
     personalresultswithtime = getIntent().getExtras().getStringArrayList("personalrestime"); 
    // setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,personalresults));
     ListView list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listview_personal);    
    // ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, personalresults);
     list.setAdapter(adapter);
     registerForContextMenu(list);
     list.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() { 
            public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> av, View v, int pos, long id) {
                 String time = personalresultswithtime.get(pos).toString();
                    Show_Alert_box(v.getContext(),"Please select action.",time,pos);
                return true;
            }
        });
public void Show_Alert_box(Context context, String message,String time,int position) final String timestamp = time;
              final int pos = position;
             final AlertDialog alertDialog = new  AlertDialog.Builder(context).create();
                alertDialog.setTitle(getString(R.string.app_name));
                alertDialog.setButton("Delete", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        try
                        {
                            db = databaseHelper.getWritableDatabase();
                            db.delete("messages","timestamp" + "=?", new String[] { timestamp }); 
                            Log.d("DB"," delete! ");
                           ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(PersonalMessageView.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, personalresults);
                                    adapter.remove(adapter.getItem(pos)); //not working t all! why ?
                            list.notify();
                            list.invalidate();
                            personalresults.remove(pos);
                            personalresultswithtime.remove(pos);
                            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                            db.close();
                        }
                        catch(Exception e)
                        {
                        }
                } }); 
                alertDialog.setButton2("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        alertDialog.dismiss();
                } }); 
                alertDialog.setMessage(message);
                alertDialog.show();
}
You probably got it solved but just in case anyone else has the same Problem, here is my Solution:
ArrayAdapter<String> myAdapter = (ArrayAdapter<String>)getListView().getAdapter();
myAdapter.remove(myAdapter.getItem(info.position));
myAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
The Problem was that you did not have the Adapter of your List.
Try
adapter.remove(adapter.getItem(pos));
notifyDataSetChanged();
