To expand on the answer from @Francesco Vadicamo, this is a fuctions that is part of a larger activity. I split it off because I needed to call it from multiple areas of the code. databaseHandler and listView are defined as a class variables and initialized in onCreat().

private void updateListView() {
    // Get a Cursor with the current contents of the database.
    final Cursor cursor = databaseHandler.getCursor();

    // The last argument is 0 because no special behavior is required.
    SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
            R.layout.listview,
            cursor,
            new String[] { databaseHandler.ICON, databaseHandler.BOWLER_TXT },
            new int[] { R.id.icon, R.id.bowler_txt },
            0);

    // Override the handling of R.id.icon to load an image instead of a string.
    adapter.setViewBinder(new SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder() {
        public boolean setViewValue(View view, Cursor cursor, int columnIndex) {
            if (view.getId() == R.id.imageview) {
                // Get the byte array from the database.
                byte[] iconByteArray = cursor.getBlob(columnIndex);

                // Convert the byte array to a Bitmap beginning at the first byte and ending at the last.
                Bitmap iconBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(iconByteArray, 0, iconByteArray.length);

                // Set the bitmap.
                ImageView iconImageView = (ImageView) view;
                iconImageView.setImageBitmap(iconBitmap);
                return true;
            } else {  // Process the rest of the adapter with default settings.
                return false;
            }
        }
    });

    // Update the ListView.
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
