oArrayList Parece estar preenchendo muito bem, mas não importa qual abordagem eu uso, não consigo obter o adaptador para preencher com dados. Eu tentei adicionar aoArrayList, também para oArrayAdapter. De qualquer forma, não consigo obter uma resposta noAutoCompleteTextView nível, ou noArrayAdapter em si (e, claro, oAutoCompleteTextView não está fazendo nada). Alguém pode ver o que está errado?

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements TextWatcher {
// private AutoCompleteView autoComplete; 
public String TAG = new String("MAINACTIVITY");
public ArrayAdapter<String> autoCompleteAdapter;
public AutoCompleteTextView autoComplete;
public InputStream inputStream;
public List<String> data;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    data = new ArrayList<String>();
    autoCompleteAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, data);
    autoCompleteAdapter.setNotifyOnChange(true);
    autoComplete = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.acsayt);
    autoComplete.setHint(R.string.search_hint);
    autoComplete.setThreshold(2);
    autoComplete.addTextChangedListener(this);
    autoComplete.setAdapter(autoCompleteAdapter);
}

// uphold TextWatcher interface methods
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}

public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
    Log.d(TAG, "I detected a text change " + s.toString());
    data.clear();
    queryWebService();
}

private void queryWebService() {
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            Log.d(TAG, "spawned thread");

            //  Code in here to set up http connection, query webservice ...

            // parse the JSON response & add items to adapter
            try {
                JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(resultString);
                int length = jArray.length();
                int countedValues, capturedValues;
                Log.d(TAG, "response had " + length + " items");
                int i = 0;
                while (i < length) {
                    JSONObject internalObject = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
                    String vehicleName = internalObject.getString("name").toString();
                    Log.d(TAG, "vehicle name is " + vehicleName);
                    try {
                        data.add(vehicleName);  
                        autoCompleteAdapter.add(vehicleName);   // not working
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    countedValues = data.size();    // correctly reports 20 values
                    capturedValues = autoCompleteAdapter.getCount();    //  is zero
                    Log.d(TAG, "array list holds " + countedValues + " values");
                    Log.d(TAG, "array adapter holds " + capturedValues + " values");
                    i++;
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.d(TAG, "JSON manipulation err: " + e.toString());
            }
        }
    }).start();
}

}

LogCat mostra o número esperado de valores de data.size (), mas zero de autoCompleteAdapter.getCount ().
