Answer 1

Do not re-create the object of ArrayList or Array you are passing to adapter, just modify same ArrayList or Array again. and also when array or arrylist size not changed after you modify adapter then in that case notifydatasetchange will not work.
In shot it is work only when array or arraylist size increases or decreases.

Answer 2

What version of Android are you targeting? The latest version seems to have revised how notifyDataSetChanged() works. If you target sdk 11 it might work?
Also, there seems to be a different (and very thorough answer) to this question in another post:
