It seems I get an error when I call setListAdapter(adapter); Any Ideas?

Any idea what could be going wrong here? When I press the 7 DAY button, it crashes with the message "Unfortunately, Stormy has stopped." Here is the LogCat dump:

It looks like it may be the same issue here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24854861/java-lang-illegalargumentexception-cant-have-a-viewtypecount-1

If not, can you post your adapter code?
