I'm not quite sure whether I understood you correctly. Why shouldn't you
simply call
comboViewer.setInput(getAllActivities());
as often as you wish? Each call will replace the current input by the
new one.
Alternatively you could define your own IStructuredContentProvider,
where the function getElements() calls getAllActivities() directly.

As described elsewhere you are not really explaining/demonstrating what
is wrong. Below is a fullfledged Java program that works for me. Once
you start it, the combo contains the expected three elements. After you
pressed the button on the right side you should see only a single
element in the combo.
import org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ArrayContentProvider;
import org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ComboViewer;
import org.eclipse.jface.viewers.LabelProvider;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionAdapter;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.FillLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Button;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
public class ComboViewerSnippet {
public ComboViewerSnippet() {
}
static String[] getAllActivities(boolean b) {
if (b) {
return new String[] { "one", "two", "three" };
} else {
return new String[] { "four" };
}
}
private static ComboViewer createViewer(Shell shell) {
final ComboViewer v = new ComboViewer(shell, SWT.DROP_DOWN
| SWT.READ_ONLY);
v.setLabelProvider(new LabelProvider());
v.setContentProvider(new ArrayContentProvider());
v.setInput(getAllActivities(true));
return v;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
final ComboViewer v = createViewer(shell);
Button b = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
b.setText("Set one element");
b.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
@Override
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
v.setInput(getAllActivities(false));
}
});
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
}
