CursorLoader usage without ContentProvider

Question

Android SDK documentation says that startManagingCursor() method is depracated:

This method is deprecated. Use the new CursorLoader class

Answer 1

The SimpleCursorLoader is a simple solution, however it doesn't support updating the loader when the data changes. CommonsWare has a loaderex library that adds a SQLiteCursorLoader and supports re-query on data changes.
