Listview not getting populated, getView() isn't getting called

I'm having a few problems getting my listview to show up in a simple application i'm writing. For some reason the getView() method of my adapter class isn't getting called. However, when when getCount() is called in my adapter class it isn't returning 0 but is in fact returning the proper value. I'm really confused as to why this isn't working.

Here is my Activity:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ListView;

public class CardListActivity extends Activity {


protected ListView lv;
protected int nCards = 12;

protected String[] cardList = new String[nCards];

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {       
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.cardlist);

    this.loadCardStrings();

    lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.CardList_ListView);
    EditorListAdapter adapter = new EditorListAdapter(this, this.cardList);
    lv.setAdapter(adapter); 
}

protected void loadCardStrings(){
    cardList = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.card_list);

    Util.logD("Created the string arrays with:" + Integer.toString(cardList.length) + " items.");
}   
public void onStart(){
    super.onStart();
}
public void onResume(){
    super.onResume();
}
public void onPause(){
    super.onPause();
}
public void onStop(){
    super.onStop();

}
public void onDestroy(){
    super.onDestroy();
}   
}

Here is the layout used by the activity:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/CardList_LinearLayout"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <TextView android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:text="Hello"/>
    <ListView android:id="@+id/CardList
