Custom List Adapter Bug

Hi, I am currently on this part of "Building the Ribbit app" http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-selfdestructing-message-android-app/retrieving-and-viewing-messages/creating-a-custom-list-adapter-for-messages

And there is a bug with the ListAdapter, I've already reviewed my files and they match with Ben's files. If you scroll down on the list and then up the app will crash (happened both on emulator and on my phone)

It happens every single time

Sorry about this! We fix it in the next video, but I forgot to add the last line below in this video: 

if (convertView == null) {
    convertView = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.message_item, null);
    holder = new ViewHolder();
    holder.iconImageView = (ImageView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.messageIcon);
    holder.nameLabel = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.senderLabel);
    convertView.setTag(holder);
}

Just had to compare this on the Stormy app to find out how the hell the project was working on the video, it didn't make sense, lol.
