I'm working on an app that calls a web service, then the webservice returns an array list. My problem is I am having trouble getting the data into the ArrayList and then displaying in a ListView. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I know for a fact the web service returns an ArrayList. Everything seems to be working fine, just no data in the ListView or the ArrayList.....Thanks in advance!

EDIT: So I added more code to the catch block of run() and now it's returning "org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapObject".....no more no less....and I am even more confused now...

package com.maskau;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope;

public class Home extends Activity implements Runnable{

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
public static final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://bb.mcrcog.com/GetArtist";

public static ProgressDialog pd;

            at.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
            java.util.Vector<Object> rs = (java.util.Vector<Object>)envelope.getResponse();
            if (rs != null)
            {

     handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
