First, Please post your full code. anyway you can use the following code to show tha data in ListView

    ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
    ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    list.add("item1");
    list.add("item2");
    list.add("item3");
    list.add("item4");
    list.add("item5");
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item1, list);
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);

If your list items are strings just use ArrayAdapter like this

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, android.R.layout.simepl_list_item_1, arrayList);

If your list items are some objects then extend toString method for that class and use array adapter for strings again.

EDIT

Or you can extend ArrayAdapter for the class you want and implement method getView.
