Refresh ListView using listadapter?

Question

I would like to refresh the ListView every time I change the base data. Please see the following example:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    mListUsers = getUsers();
lvList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.event_list);
lvList.setAdapter(new ListAdapter(mContext, R.id.event_list, mListUsers));

    btn_next=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_next);
btn_next.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
 SimpleDateFormat postFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy",Locale.ENGLISH); 
 String newDateStr = lbl_date.getText().toString();         
 Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
 try {
 c.setTime(postFormater.parse(newDateStr));
 } catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
}
c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);  // number of days to add
newDateStr = postFormater.format(c.getTime());
lbl_date.setText(newDateStr.toString());

mListUsers = getUsers();
lvList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.event_list);
lvList.setAdapter(new ListAdapter(mContext, R.id.event_list, mListUsers));
}
});

}

public ArrayList<main_list_item> getUsers(){                
DBAdapter dbAdapter=DBAdapter.getDBAdapterInstance(this);
try {
            dbAdapter.createDataBase();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.i("*** select ",e.getMessage());
        }
        dbAdapter.openDataBase();

        SimpleDateFormat curFormater1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
        String dateString = curFormater1.format(new Date(lbl_date.getText().toString()));
        String query;       
        if(all==1){
            query="SELECT id,dateS, dateE, (select eventname from tbEvent_name where tbEvent_name.id=eventId)as event FROM tbTransaction";
        }
        else{
            query="SELECT id,dateS, dateE, (select eventname from tbEvent_name where tbEvent_name.id=eventId)as event FROM tbTransaction WHERE SUBSTR(sDate,1,10)='"+dateString+"'";
        }

        ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> stringList = dbAdapter.selectRecordsFromDBList(query, null);
        dbAdapter.close();

        SimpleDateFormat curFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd",Locale.ENGLISH);
        Date dateObj = null;

        ArrayList<main_list_item> usersList = new ArrayList<main_list_item>();
        for (int i = 0; i < stringList.size(); i++) {
            ArrayList<String> list = stringList.get(i);
            main_list_item user = new main_list_item();
            try {
                user.id=Integer.parseInt(list.get(0));
                user.event= list.get(3);

        String newDateStr1 = postFormater1.format(dateObj);

                user.dateS=list.get(1);
                user.dateE=list.get(2);

            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            usersList.add(user);
        }
        return usersList;
    }

 // ***ListAdapter***
    private class ListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<main_list_item> {  // --CloneChangeRequired
        private ArrayList<main_list_item> mList;  // --CloneChangeRequired
        private Context mContext;

        public ListAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId,ArrayList<main_list_item> list) { // --CloneChangeRequired
            super(context, textViewResourceId, list);
            this.mList = list;
            this.mContext = context;
        }

        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
            View view = convertView;
            try{
            if (view == null) {
                LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                view = vi.inflate(R.layout.main_list_item, null);   // --CloneChangeRequired(list_item)
            }
            final main_list_item listItem = mList.get(position);    // --CloneChangeRequired                
            if (listItem != null) {
                // setting list_item views                      
                ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.lbl_id) ).setText( listItem.getId()+"");

                ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.lbl_event) ).setText( listItem.getEvent()+"");
                ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.lbl_sdate) ).setText( listItem.getsDate()+"");
                ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.lbl_edate) ).setText( listItem.geteDate()+"");

            }}catch(Exception e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            return view;
        }       
    }

Its is correct way?

In this code I want to refresh listview when 'btn_next' click.

And also I want to separate two parts,put heading.

according to this at com.apt.eTrack.ETrackActivity$4.onClick(ETrackActivity.java:153) mListAdapter should be null... check it. — Prasham

How come I can't find the method "notifyDataSetChanged()" in the class android.widget.ListAdapter? Isn't that the one you are using? Can't find "notifyDataSetChanged" in the documentation for ListAdapter...
