## Public functions

### setViewValue

Added in[1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/cursoradapter#1.0.0)  

```
fun setViewValue(view: View!, cursor: Cursor!, columnIndex: Int): Boolean
```

Binds the Cursor column defined by the specified index to the specified view. When binding is handled by this ViewBinder, this method must return true. If this method returns false, SimpleCursorAdapter will attempts to handle the binding on its own.
