no change/black screen by notifyDataSetChanged();

I want to do something like this.

while pressing the refresh button, it will refresh the list. Activity codes are like this:

        adapter = new TweetAdapter(Welcome.this, tweets, users);
        tweetsList.setAdapter(adapter);


    private void refreshAdapter() {
        adapter.clear();
        adapter.refresh(tweets, users);
    }

refreshAdapter() called when I need to change the list item. here tweets & users are ArrayList & HashMap items

and the adapter part is like this:

public void clear() {
    this.tweets.clear();
    this.users.clear();
}

public void refresh(ArrayList<Tweet> tweets, HashMap<String, User> users) {
    this.tweets.addAll(tweets);
    this.users.putAll(users);
    Collections.sort(this.tweets, new TweetTimeComparator());
    notifyDataSetChanged();
}

but unfortunately notifyDataSetChanged(); is not working. by clicking refresh the list either turns black(maximum time) or have no response(some time).

please tell me if you find the error or suggest me what to do.

I think you are clearing the data 

this.tweets.clear();
this.users.clear();

.. I think as tweets and users both has same refreance ( as passed from activity to adapter ) so both tweets and both users (on adapter and on activity are pointing to same ArrayLists) so both are get-clear so these line not make sense as both are empty 

this.tweets.addAll(tweets);
this.users.putAll(users);

try 

public TweetAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<Tweet> tweets, HashMap<String, User> users) { 

mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context); 
this.tweets = new ArrayList<Tweet>(); 
this.users = new HashMap<String, User>();

this.tweets.addAll(tweets);
this.users.putAll(users);

Collections.sort(this.tweets, new TweetTimeComparator()); 
}

..

public void refresh(ArrayList<Tweet> tweets, HashMap<String, User> users) {

  this.tweets.clear();
    this.users.clear();

    this.tweets.addAll(tweets);
    this.users.putAll(users);
    Collections.sort(this.tweets, new TweetTimeComparator());
    notifyDataSetChanged();
}

but NOTE : now reference to both tweets (on adapter and on activity) and both users (on adapter and on activity) are different.

There should no direct assignment like adapter.tweets = activity.tweets any where other use this.tweets.addAll(tweets);
