notifyDataSetChanged

Hi Steve Hunter. long time. Ok, I need to notify an Adapter but I am stuck. Google documentation is confusing.

MainActivity.java 
// This is an excerpt from the full file.
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int responseCode, Intent intent) {
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE && responseCode == RESULT_OK) {

       // YOUR CODE HERE
      notifyDataSetChanged();

    }
}

Hi Mal,

You've chosen the correct method but not called it on the instance of ListingsAdapter that the question says is called adapter. Use dot notation:

  adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Make sense?

Steve.
