Scott,

I ran into the same problem as you. Before you close your database, i.e. "db.close()," make sure that your cursors are closed first, i.e. "mCursor.close()"

Like so:

private void updateList()
{ 
    DBAdapter db = new DBAdapter(this);
    db.open();

    //load all waiting alarm
    mCursor=db.getTitles("state<2"); 
    setListAdapter(new MyCursorAdapter(this, mCursor)); 
    registerForContextMenu(getListView()); 

    // Let's close the cursor.
    mCursor.close();
    db.close(); 
} 

You mentioned that if you closed your cursor your list view stays empty. I recommend you pass the information over to a class and copy it over (allocate the memory) then close the cursor.
