Thanks Mark. I took a look at your code, then modified it to
duplicate the situation I described: added a custom Adapter extending
BaseAdapter and implementing SectionIndexer. As you said, when I
create a new instance of the Adapter and pass it into setListAdapter()
the new instance is used. So the problem I described does not exist.
However, the problem that led to my mistaken assumption is duplicated
in your code (as I've modified it): only the first instance of my
custom Adapter ever gets its getSections() method called. So though
the new Adapter has replaced the original, the Object[] of sections
returned by the original continues to be used.
Does anybody know if there's a way to force the framework to call
getSections() when a new Adapter replaces the one that was called
originally?
I've worked around this problem by creating a new ListActivity
instance each time my data set changes. It's a bit heavy handed but
does the trick.
Thanks,

PS I'll append my diffs below for the sake of completeness. The
"reset" menu is what triggers new data.
