title: Android: getView in adapter never called
body: <p>Still geting my head around how adapters work and the structure. Im trying to show text (from server) in xml and the user should be able to edit that text and then send it back (to server). Little confused with AutoCompleteTextView and EditText. This works like: Server sends a meal (apple, banana and mango). If user erase mango and start to write <strong>ba</strong>, banana comes up with AutoCompleteTextView.</p>
  
  <p>But my main problem is that getView is never called.
  I have a feeling it has something to do with how i declare the adapter: arrayAdapter vs something else.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you! </p>
  
  <p>simple activity</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class EditMealActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
  
      private Meal mealList;
  
      @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.activity_edit_meal);
  
          // getMealById returns: mango, apple, banana
          mealList = EditMealAdapter.getMealById();
  
          ArrayAdapter adapter = new EditMealAdapter(this, R.layout.activity_edit_meal, mealList);
          AutoCompleteTextView actv = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.item1);
          actv.setAdapter(adapter);
  
      }
  
      @Override
      public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
          // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
          getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.edit_meal, menu);
          return true;
      }
  
      @Override
      public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
          // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
          // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
          // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
          int id = item.getItemId();
          if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
              return true;
          }
          return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
