2、复现场景

使用ListView和Adapter实现动态增删数据列表功能，初始化数据分为两部分：本地和网络。所以在Adapter的数据初始化的时候，先讲本地数据添加到了容器内。同时发起网络请求，等加载完毕后追加到容器内。
问题出现在：当网络请求完毕后追加数据的时候，抛出上述异常。

3、原因分析

Exception解读：
Adapter的数据内容已经改变，但是ListView却未接收到通知。要确保不在后台线程中修改Adapter的数据内容，而要在UI Thread中修改。确保Adapter的数据内容改变时一定要调用notifyDataSetChanged()方法。

且不管Exception内容，先查询Android源码看看该Exception是从哪里抛出来的。
在ListView的layoutChildren()方法里有如下一段方法：

// Handle the empty set by removing all views that are visible
// and calling it a day
if (mItemCount == 0) {
resetList();
invokeOnItemScrollListener();
return;
} else if (mItemCount != mAdapter.getCount()) {
throw new IllegalStateException("The content of the adapter has changed but "
+ "ListView did not receive a notification. Make sure the content of "
+ "your adapter is not modified from a background thread, but only "
+ "from the UI thread. [in ListView(" + getId() + ", " + getClass()
+ ") with Adapter(" + mAdapter.getClass() + ")]");
}

亦即，当ListView缓存的数据Count和ListView中Adapter.getCount()不等时，会抛出该异常。

结合开头的异常解读，可以断定肯定是Adapter数据动态更新的问题。仔细检查了自己的代码：

当网络请求完毕后，直接在网络线程（非UI线程）里调用了在Adapter中新增的自定义方法addData(List)更新数据，而addData(List)方法内更新换完数据后，通过Handler发送Message的策略调用Adapter的notifyDataSetChanged()方法通知更新。

这么一来，并不能保证Adapter的数据更新时，立马调用notifyDataSetChanged()通知ListView，这两个线程之间的时间差引起的数据不同步，导致ListView的layoutChildren()中访问Adapter的getCount()方法时，Adapter内已经是最新数据源，而ListView内的缓存数据Count仍是旧数据的Count，该问题最终原因终于浮出水面。

4、解决方案

在本例中，解决方案是：把addData(List)方法内更新数据的代码挪出来，和notifyDataSetChanged()方法一同放在Handler里，保证数据更新时及时通知ListView。

为了尽量避免该问题，以后编程尽量从如下几个方面检查自己的代码：

确保Adapter的数据更新后一定要调用notifyDataSetChanged()方法通知ListView

数据更新和notifyDataSetChanged()放在UI线程内，且必须同步顺序执行，不可异步

仔细检查确认getCount()方法返回值是否正确
