Why is the LogCat showing NullPointerException when I use ArrayAdapter?

Ribbit App is showing NullPointer Exception when I use the array adapter. If i comment the statement setListAdapter(), the app is not crashing but this does not display the contents which I intent to display. Also, I created a similar fragment in another app, but there it does not crash. Please help me fix this out. The fragment code is

public class InboxFragment extends ListFragment {
protected ArrayList<ParseObject> myMessages = new ArrayList<ParseObject>();

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_inbox, container,
            false);
    return rootView;
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    ParseQuery<ParseObject> query = new ParseQuery<ParseObject>(
            ParseConstants.KEY_MESSAGES);
    query.whereEqualTo(ParseConstants.KEY_RECEPIENTSIDS, ParseUser
            .getCurrentUser().getObjectId());
    query.addDescendingOrder("createdAt");

    query.findInBackground(new FindCallback<ParseObject>() {


        @Override
        public void done(List<ParseObject> arg0, ParseException e) {
            if (e == null) {
                // success
                Toast.makeText(getListView().getContext(), "Loaded messages!",
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                String usernames[] = new String[arg0.size()];
                for( int i=0; i<usernames.length; i++)
                {
                    usernames[i] = arg0.get(i).getString(ParseConstants.KEY_SENDERNAME);
                }
                ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getListView()
                        .getContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, usernames
                        );
                setListAdapter(adapter);

            } else {
                // failure
                Toast.makeText(getListView().getContext(), "Failed to load messages!",
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();


            }

        }
    });

}

Thanks in advance
