How to update ListView in case of CursorAdapter usage?

Question

The reason I\'m asking that is because requery() is deprecated. What is the best way now to refresh your ListView?

Answer 1

requery() updates a Cursor, not a CursorAdapter. As you say, it has been deprecated, and its replacement is:

oldCursor = myCursorAdapter.swapCursor(newCursor); // hands you back oldCursor

or:

myCursorAdapter.changeCursor(newCursor); // automatically closes old Cursor

myCursorAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() notifies the ListView that the data set has changed, and it should refresh itself
