Android listview not getting populated with data

Question

I am new to Android Studio and have a simple android view i am working on. A button click makes a call to the foursquare API and get backresults for starbucks around my location that I parse and am trying to set to the adapter for the listbox on the same view. If i put a breakpoint in the OnPostExecute() I see the mFoursquare adapter that I set for the listview has two json string results in the mFoursquareAdapter , I even call the

mFoursquareAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

in it but the view does not get refreshed with the results. I have posted the code below. Can anyone please point out what I am doing wrong or need to change since I already have the results and need to get this done...Your help and feedback very much appreciated! thanks

public class FoursquareInfoFragment extends android.app.Fragment {
private ArrayAdapter<String> mFoursquareAdapter;

public FoursquareInfoFragment() {

@Override

    // Dummy data for the ListView. Here's the sample weekly forecast
    String[] data = {
            "Sample Foursquare Data",
    };

    List<String> foursquareList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(data));

    mFoursquareAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
            getActivity(),  // the current context ie the activity
            R.layout.fragment_my, // the name of the layout Id
            R.id.textViewFoursquare, // the Id of the TextView to populate
            foursquareList);

    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_my, container, false);

This

mFoursquareAdapter.add(ItemStr);

Should be

foursquareList.add(ItemStr)

And you'll need to declare foursquareList properly (as a field). You should also declare your Adapter as a field variable as well, just in case you need to reference it later
