Android ExpandableListView

Recently I'm trying to use android's expandable list view, so I googled around and stumbled upon this

http://about-android.blogspot.com/2010/04/steps-to-implement-expandablelistview.html

I followed the steps almost exactly, but I created a file just to contain implementation of my own adapter. Basically on my onCreate method of the main activity I call:

mEntries = findViewById(R.id.entries);    
ExpandableListAdapter adapter = new MyExpandableListAdapter(this);
mEntries.setAdapter(adapter);

Here's the code (Taken from above URL and modified):

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.AbsListView;
import android.widget.BaseExpandableListAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MyExpandableListAdapter extends BaseExpandableListAdapter {
    private String[] groups = {"Vehicle", "Baj"};
    private String[][] children = {
        {"Mol", "Mor"},
        {"In", "Ruh"}
    };

    private Context cxt;

    public MyExpandableListAdapter(Context cxt) {
        this.cxt = cxt;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getChild(int groupPos, int childPos) {
        return children[groupPos][childPos];
    }

    @Override
    public long getChildId(int groupPos, int childPos) {
        return childPos;
    }

    @Override
    public View getChildView(int groupPos, int childPos,
            boolean isLastChild, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        TextView tv = getGenericView();
        tv.setText(getChild(groupPos, childPos).toString());
        return tv;
    }

    @Override
    public int getChildrenCount(int groupPos) {
        return children[groupPos].length;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getGroup(int groupPos) {
        return groups[groupPos];
    }

    @Override
    public int getGroupCount() {
        return groups.length;
    }

    @Override
    public long getGroupId(int groupPos) {
        return groupPos;
    }

    public TextView getGenericView() {
        // Layout parameters for the ExpandableListView
        AbsListView.LayoutParams lp = new AbsListView.LayoutParams(
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, 64);

        TextView tv = new TextView(this.cxt);
tv.setLayoutParams(lp);

        // Center the text vertically
        tv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL | Gravity.LEFT);
        // Set the text starting position
        tv.setPadding(36, 0, 0, 0);
        return tv;
    }

    @Override
    public View getGroupView(int groupPos, boolean isExpanded, View convertView,
            ViewGroup parent) {
        TextView tv = getGenericView();
        tv.setText(getGroup(groupPos).toString());
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean hasStableIds() {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isChildSelectable(int groupPos, int childPos) {
        return true;
    }

}

The logcat spit these:

Anyone care to shed a light on this? =/

EDIT: I've already implemented the methods required in the Base class.

EDIT2: Code added

Finally got it... it's at:

    @Override
public View getGroupView(int groupPos, boolean isExpanded, View convertView,
        ViewGroup parent) {
    TextView tv = getGenericView();
    tv.setText(getGroup(groupPos).toString());
    return null;
}

It's returning null... I seriously shouldn't code when I'm sleepy =/

When you extend BaseExpandableListAdapter, you still need to give an implementation on how to show each row. Without it, I think the current impl is to return null which is what you are seeing. So I would also implement:

public int getGroupCount()
public int getChildrenCount(int groupPosition)
public View getGroupView(int groupPosition, boolean isExpanded, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
public View getChildView(int groupPosition, int childPosition, boolean isLastChild, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)

I implemented other functions too but I didn't show them. Hope this helps.
