| This package is part of the Android[support library](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library)which is no longer maintained. The support library has been superseded by[AndroidX](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx)which is part of[Jetpack](https://developer.android.com/jetpack). We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider[migrating](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate)existing projects to AndroidX.

Static library support version of the framework's[SimpleCursorAdapter](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SimpleCursorAdapter.html). Used to write apps that run on platforms prior to Android 3.0. When running on Android 3.0 or above, this implementation is still used; it does not try to switch to the framework's implementation. See the framework SDK documentation for a class overview.

## Public constructors
### SimpleCursorAdapter
added in[version 22.1.0](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/revisions)
```
SimpleCursorAdapter (Context context,
int layout,
Cursor c,
String[] from,
int[] to)
```
**This constructor was deprecated in API level 22.1.0.**
This option is discouraged, as it results in Cursor queries being performed on the application's UI thread and thus can cause poor responsiveness or even Application Not Responding errors. As an alternative, use[LoaderManager](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/LoaderManager.html)with a[CursorLoader](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/CursorLoader.html).
Constructor the enables auto-requery.
| Parameters ||
|-----------|------------------|
| `context` | `Context`
|
| `layout` | `int`
|
| `c` | `Cursor`
|
| `from` | `String`
|
| `to` | `int`
|
### SimpleCursorAdapter
added in[version 22.1.0](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/revisions)
```
SimpleCursorAdapter (Context context,
int layout,
Cursor c,
String[] from,
int[] to,
int flags)
```
Standard constructor.
| Parameters ||
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `context` | `Context`: The context where the ListView associated with this SimpleListItemFactory is running
|
| `layout` | `int`: resource identifier of a layout file that defines the views for this list item. The layout file should include at least those named views defined in "to"
|
| `c` | `Cursor`: The database cursor. Can be null if the cursor is not available yet.
|
| `from` | `String`: A list of column names representing the data to bind to the UI. Can be null if the cursor is not available yet.
|
| `to` | `int`: The views that should display column in the "from" parameter. These should all be TextViews. The first N views in this list are given the values of the first N columns in the from parameter. Can be null if the cursor is not available yet.
|
| `flags` | `int`: Flags used to determine the behavior of the adapter, as per[CursorAdapter(Context, Cursor, int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/widget/CursorAdapter#CursorAdapter(android.content.Context, android.database.Cursor, int)).
|
## Public methods
### bindView
added in[version 22.1.0](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/revisions)
```
void bindView (View view,
Context context,
Cursor cursor)
```
Binds all of the field names passed into the "to" parameter of the constructor with their corresponding cursor columns as specified in the "from" parameter. Binding occurs in two phases. First, if a[SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder.html)is available,[setViewValue(android.view.View, android.database.Cursor, int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/widget/SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder#setViewValue(android.view.View, android.database.Cursor, int))is invoked. If the returned value is true, binding has occured. If the returned value is false and the view to bind is a TextView,[setViewText(TextView, String)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/widget/SimpleCursorAdapter#setViewText(android.widget.TextView, java.lang.String))is invoked. If the returned value is false and the view to bind is an ImageView,[setViewImage(ImageView, String)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/widget/SimpleCursorAdapter#setViewImage(android.widget.ImageView, java.lang.String))is invoked. If no appropriate binding can be found, an[IllegalStateException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalStateException)is thrown.
| Parameters ||
|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `view` | `View`: Existing view, returned earlier by newView
|
| `context` | `Context`: Interface to application's global information
|
| `cursor` | `Cursor`: The cursor from which to get the data. The cursor is already moved to the correct position.
|
| Throws ||
|-------------------------|-------------------------|
| `IllegalStateException` | if binding cannot occur |

| `v` | `ImageView`: ImageView to receive an image
|
| `value` | `String`: the value retrieved from the cursor
|
### setViewText
