Remove your items from your custom adapter and call notifyDataSetChanged

As of Android versions M and N  following works for me and would be the correct approach  Emptying the ListView or setting the Adapter to null is not the right approach and would lead to null pointer issue  invalid ListView and or crash of the app   Simply do       mList clear        mAdapter notifyDataSetChanged      i e  first you clear the list altogether  and then let the adapter know about this change  Android will take care of correctly updating the UI with an empty list  In my case  my list is an ArrayList   In case you are doing this operation from a different thread  run this code on the UI thread       runOnUiThread mRunnable     Where mRunnable would be       Runnable mRunnable   new Runnable             public void run                 mList clear                mAdapter notifyDataSetChanged

Call clear   method from your custom adapter

I guess you passed a List or an Array to the Adapter  If you keep the instance of this added collection  you can do a   collection clear    listview getAdapter   notifyDataSetChanged      this ll work only if you instantiated the adapter with collection and it s the same instance   Also  depending on the Adapter you extended  you may not be able to do this  SimpleAdapter is used for static data  thus it can t be updated after creation   PS  not all Adapters have a clear   method  ArrayAdapter does  but ListAdapter or SimpleAdapter don t

There is a solution for the duplicate entry in listview  You have to declare the onBackPress  -method on your activity and write down the highlight code given below      Override public void onBackPressed            TODO Auto-generated method stub     super onBackPressed                attendence webdata clear    list setAdapter null       --------------------------------------------------
