近日在做项目时遇到非必现crush，具体异常信息为：

异常的描述是不要在其他线程中修改listview的adapter数据而在ui线程中进行刷新notifyDataSetChanged()。我们一般为adapter添加数据时常常使用activity类内部的全局变量，这时在外部或其他线程中更新数据时，如果不及时刷新listview，就会抛出上述异常。于是我去掉线程，直接在ui线程中更新数据，发现问题依然存在。

仔细查看代码，我的代码是这样的：

private void prepareData(Calendar c) {
        mTodayList = new ArrayList<SCEvent>();
        mFutureList = new ArrayList<SCEvent>();
        mList = new ArrayList<SCEvent>();
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
        cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
        cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
        cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
        cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
        ArrayList<SCEvent> list = SmartCalendarDB.getInstance(getActivity())
                .getBirthdayLatest2(mCalendar.getTimeInMillis(),
                        cal.getTimeInMillis() != mCalendar.getTimeInMillis());
        if(list != null && list.size() > 0) {
            int month = mCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
            int day = mCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
            for(SCEvent e : list) {
                if(e.getmBirthdayMonth() == month && e.getmBirthdayDay() == day) {
                    mTodayList.add(e);
                } else {
                    mFutureList.add(e);
                }
            }
            if(mTodayList != null && mTodayList.size() > 0) {
                Collections.sort(mTodayList, new TimeComparator());
                for(SCEvent e : mTodayList) {
                    mList.add(e);
                }
                mList.add(null);
            }
            if(mFutureList != null && mFutureList.size() > 0) {
                if(mTodayList == null || mTodayList.size() <= 0) {
                    mList.add(null);
                }
                Collections.sort(mFutureList, new AdvanceComparator());
                boolean add = mList != null && mList.size() > 0;
                for(SCEvent e : mFutureList) {
                    mList.add(e);
                }
                if(!add) {
                    mList.add(null);
                }
            }
        }
        if(mList != null && mList.size() > 0) {
            mListView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            mEmptyLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        } else {
            mListView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            mEmptyLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }
    }

我的adapter数据是保存在mlist中，而在代码中不断的改变了mlist内部的数据，而只在最后调用了一次mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged()，导致listview没有及时刷新而抛出异常。

所以结论在使用listview时，及时不在非ui线程中更新adapter数据，也最好将数据直接定义在adapter类内部或在改变数据时要及时刷新listview，否则会抛出上述异常。
