Android: ListView with custom ListAdapter in ListFragment is not shown

Question

I want to transform an existing RSS reader app of mine to the Master Detail example delivered with the SDK. I am using a custom ListAdapter to fill a ListView in my ListFragment but there is no list shown when i run the app. I have no idea why maybe you have an idea. There are no errors shown.

My ItemListActivity:

public class ItemListActivity extends FragmentActivity
        implements ItemListFragment.Callbacks {

    /**
     * Whether or not the activity is in two-pane mode, i.e. running on a tablet
     * device.
     */
    private boolean mTwoPane;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Log.d("debug","Hallo in der ItemListActivity");

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_item_list);

        //wichtig!
        if (findViewById(R.id.item_detail_container) != null) {
            // The detail container view will be present only in the
            // large-screen layouts (res/values-large and
            // res/values-sw600dp). If this view is present, then the
            // activity should be in two-pane mode.
            mTwoPane = true;

            // In two-pane mode, list items should be given the
            // 'activated' state when touched.
            ((ItemListFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                    .findFragmentById(R.id.item_list))
                    .setActivateOnItemClick(true);
        }

        // TODO: If exposing deep links into your app, handle intents here.
    }

    //ActionBar
    public void onCreateOptionsMenu(
          Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
       inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    }

    /**
     * Callback method from {@link ItemListFragment.Callbacks}
     * indicating that the item with the given ID was selected.
     */
    @Override
    public void onItemSelected(String id) {
        if (mTwoPane) {
            // In two-pane mode, show the detail view in this activity by
            // adding or replacing the detail fragment using a
            // fragment transaction.
            Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
            arguments.putString(ItemDetailFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID, id);
            ItemDetailFragment fragment = new ItemDetailFragment();
            fragment.setArguments(arguments);
            getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                    .replace(R.id.item_detail_container, fragment)
                    .commit();

        } else {
            // In single-pane mode, simply start the detail activity
            // for the selected item ID.
            Intent detailIntent = new Intent(this, ItemDetailFragment.class);
            detailIntent.putExtra(ItemDetailFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID, id);
            startActivity(detailIntent);
        }
    }

            // Set the views in the layout

            tvDate.setText(_feed.getItem(pos).getDate());

            return listItem;
        }
    }

I hope I have not forgotten any important file. If please tell me than i will add it. Thanks in advance1

Check your getCount() method of custom adapter.
