android preferencefragment listview arrayadapter getview not called - android-listview

Question

After researching / reviewing code the past couple days, a solution eludes me. The ArrayAdapter.getView() function is not being called.
ArrayAdapter.getCount() is returning 3.
This listview is similar to the WiFi preference fragment ..
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Settings.git/+/6829c48c36fceebb46989f8ee25c369fa5f7adeb/src/com/android/settings/wifi/WifiSettings.java
The code samples at GitHub (using title search terms) show that this should be working.
Queries through stackoverflow for "getView not called" have suggested that
the List was not being passed in,
the count was not being returned,
the ArrayAdapter was not attached to the ListView properly using setListAdapter vs setAdapter
the ArrayAdapter and ListView scope need to be class vs method level
the ListView may not be visible, thus android knows it would not be able to draw it on the screen so getView() method is never called to render the objects.
Provided below are the PreferenceFragment and ArrayAdapter Classes, and XML files.
Your Thoughts?
PreferenceFragment Class
public class Settings_WebServers extends PreferenceFragment
{
protected MyAdapter adapter = null;
protected ListView lv = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate (savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings_webservers);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreateView (inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
View v = inflater.inflate (R.layout.webservers, container, false);
List<String> strings = new ArrayList<String> ();
strings.add ("WebServer 1");
strings.add ("WebServer 2");
strings.add ("WebServer 3");
adapter = new MyAdapter (container.getContext(), R.layout.webservers_list, strings);
lv = (ListView) v.findViewById (android.R.id.list);
lv.setAdapter (adapter);
return v;
}
#Override
public void onStart()
{
super.onStart();;
Log.d ("onStart ", "Entered Function" );
Log.d ("ListView ", String.valueOf(lv.isShown()?"shown":"hidden"));
}
// ArrayAdapter embedded class
ArrayAdapter Class
private class MyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String>
{
Context context;
List<String> strings = new ArrayList<String>();
int layoutResourceId;
public MyAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId, List<String> objects)
{
super(context, layoutResourceId, objects);
this.layoutResourceId = layoutResourceId;
this.strings = objects;
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public int getCount ()
{ return (strings.size()); }
#Override
public View getView (int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
Log.d ("getView position", String.valueOf (position) );
TextView lblServerName = null;
String current = strings.get (position);
LayoutInflater inflater =
(LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService
(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
convertView = inflater.inflate
(R.layout.webservers_list, parent, false);
lblServerName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById (R.id.txtServerName);
if (lblServerName != null)
lblServerName.setText (String.valueOf(current));
return convertView;
}
}
}
