Изменение содержимого ArrayAdapter не обновляется

Очистка или добавление данных не обновляются в методе addData в моем пользовательском классе ArrayAdapter. Что здесь происходит? Я также попытался обновить список, который загружается в ArrayAdapter, и он также не изменяется, оба раза количество элементов в адаптере остается прежним. Пожалуйста помоги!

EDIT: исправлено. Добавлен новый класс, который расширяет ASyncTask и имеет fetchMorePosts перед обновлением адаптера.

Показан класс:

private class AddPostsTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
            Log.i("update2", "start fetchMorePosts");
            posts.addAll(postsHolder.fetchMorePosts());
            Log.i("update2", "end fetchMorePosts");
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
            Log.i("update2", "start adapterChange");
            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            Log.i("update2", "start adapterChange");
            super.onPostExecute(result);
        }

    }
