My code is as follows.The problem is that getView() method is not being called for once I checked my log for this
My fragment class is
public class AlertListFragment extends Fragment {
    // TODO: Rename parameter arguments, choose names that match
    // the fragment initialization parameters, e.g. ARG_ITEM_NUMBER
    private static final String ARG_PARAM1 = "param1";
    private static final String ARG_PARAM2 = "param2";
    // TODO: Rename and change types of parameters
    private String mParam1;
    private String mParam2;
    private OnFragmentInteractionListener mListener;
    public ArrayList<AlertModel> mModelLIst=new ArrayList<AlertModel>();
    public AlertAdapter adapter;
    ListView mAlertList;
    CommentsDataSource datasource;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        if (getArguments() != null) {
            mParam1 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM1);
            mParam2 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM2);
        }
    }
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        View view=inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_alert_list, container, false);
         mAlertList=(ListView)view.findViewById(R.id.alertlist);
        System.out.println("details in fragment");
        datasource = new CommentsDataSource(getActivity());
        datasource.open();
        ArrayList<AlertModel> source = datasource
                .getAllContacts();
        if (source.size() > 0) {
            System.out.println("response number of items"
                    + source.size());
            adapter = new AlertAdapter(getActivity(), source,getActivity().getResources());
            mAlertList.setAdapter(adapter);
            }
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_alert_list, container, false);
    }
    // TODO: Rename method, update argument and hook method into UI event
    public void onButtonPressed(Uri uri) {
    }
    @Override
    public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
        super.onAttach(activity);
    }
    @Override
    public void onDetach() {
        super.onDetach();
    }
}
my adapter class is
public class AlertAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements View.OnClickListener {
    private Activity activity;
    private ArrayList data;
    ArrayList<String> btnpositions = new ArrayList<String>();
    public Resources res;
    private static LayoutInflater inflater = null;
    ViewHolder holder;
    AlertModel tempValue = null;
    public AlertAdapter(Activity activity, ArrayList data, Resources res) {
        System.out.println("response number of items inside adapter view: ");
        this.activity = activity;
        this.data = data;
        this.res = res;
    }
    public static class ViewHolder {
        public TextView msubject, mbody;
        public ImageView mTYpe;
        public LinearLayout mTYpeLay;
    }
    @Override
    public int getCount() {
   System.out.println("response number of items inside adapter count: "+data.size());
        if (data.size() <= 0)
            return 1;
        System.out.println("response number of items inside adapter count: "+data.size());
        return data.size();
    }
    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return null;
    }
    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return 0;
    }
    @Override
    public View getView(int arg0, View vis, ViewGroup arg2) {
        System.out.println("response number of items inside adapter view: "+arg0);
        View vi = vis;
        int crntposition = arg0;
        Context context;
        if (vis == null) {
            inflater = (LayoutInflater) activity.
                    getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.alert_list_item, null);
        } else
            holder = (ViewHolder) vi.getTag();
        holder = new ViewHolder();
        holder.msubject = (TextView) vi.findViewById(R.id.txtsubject);
        holder.mbody = (TextView) vi.findViewById(R.id.txtbody);
        holder.mTYpe = (ImageView) vi.findViewById(R.id.imgtype);
        holder.mTYpeLay=(LinearLayout)vi.findViewById(R.id.typelay);
        if (data.size() <= 0) {
            holder.msubject.setText("No Data");
        } else {
            vi.setTag(holder);
            vi.setTag(R.id.txtsubject, holder.msubject);
            vi.setTag(R.id.txtbody, holder.mbody);
            vi.setTag(R.id.imgtype, holder.mTYpe);
            holder.msubject.setTag(crntposition);
            holder.mbody.setTag(crntposition);
            holder.mTYpe.setTag(crntposition);
            tempValue = null;
            tempValue = (AlertModel) data.get(crntposition);
            /************  Set Model values in Holder elements ***********/
            context = arg2.getContext();
            holder.msubject.setText(tempValue.getmMessage());
            if(tempValue.getmMessage().equalsIgnoreCase("1"))
            {
                holder.mTYpeLay.setBackgroundResource(R.color.quote_blue);
                holder.mTYpe.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.q);
            }
            else if(tempValue.getmMessage().equalsIgnoreCase("2"))
            {
                holder.mTYpeLay.setBackgroundResource(R.color.event_yellow);
                holder.mTYpe.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.e);
            }
            else
            {
                holder.mTYpeLay.setBackgroundResource(R.color.wishes_red);
                holder.mTYpe.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bday);
            }
        }
      vi.setOnClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(crntposition));
        return vi;
    }
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Log.e("click","yess");
    }
    private class OnItemClickListener  implements View.OnClickListener {
        private int mPosition;
        OnItemClickListener(int position) {
            mPosition = position;
            System.out.println("pos"+mPosition);
        }
        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
        }
    }
}
my xml file for the fragment is
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="fencer.geo.ti.geofencer.fragments.AlertListFragment">
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:text="fragment"
        android:id="@+id/txtt"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    <!-- TODO: Update blank fragment layout -->
    <ListView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/txtt"
        android:background="@color/second_grey"
       android:id="@+id/alertlist"
        />
</RelativeLayout>
this is my log

and my output is
