                // updating listview
                setListAdapter(adapter);
            }
        });
    }
}
}

get error in this

setListAdapter(adapter);

Error like this

Error:(182, 21) error: cannot find symbol method setListAdapter(ListAdapter)

Answer 1

If you have the following ListView in your activity

 <ListView android:id="@+id/mainListView"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_below="@id/scan_content"/>

Add something like

public ListView mainListView;

to NewsActivity and replace

setListAdapter(adapter);

with

mainListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.mainListView);  
mainListView.setAdapter(adapter);

Unless I misunderstand the question, that should work.
