I can not undestand what is your "adapter pattern" problem.
To write an adapter you need :
-an adapter interface to wich you want to adapt 
-an adaptee that you want adapt

Something like this :
-the adapter interface
public interface IAdapter {
  public void paintMe();
}

-the adaptee class :
public class Adaptee {
  public void paintHalfOfMe() {
    //do half paint here
  }
  public void paintTheOtherHalf() {
    //do the rest of paint
  }
}

Now you want to use the Adaptee like you would use any other object 
implementing IAdapter. You need to adapt the Adaptee.
public class AdaptedAdaptee implements IAdapter {
  private Adaptee theEncapsulatedObject;
  public AdaptedAdaptee() {
    theEncapsulatedObject = new Adaptee();
  }
  public void paintMe() {
    theEncapsulatedObject.paintHalfOfMe();
    theEncapsulatedObject.paintTheOtherHalf();
  }
}

This is how you can implement an adapter pattern.
Now... what is your _real_ problem ?

Hope it helped :).
