in your OrdersActivity, you never initialized d (the HashMap) you pass as paramter to the Adpater.

public int getCount() {
    return (data == null) ? 0 : data.size();
}

how can i make this code useful for me, any change you think i should need to do in my code, tell me

Blackbelt Over a year ago

before creating ordersAdapter you have to do d = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

thanks error solved, but still List is not appearing @blackbelt

in order to see something the dataset (your arraylist) have to contain something. I suggest you to read the documentaiont about how the adapter works
