You need to set the ViewBinder of the adapter to set the image of the ImageView to the value received from the DB.

    esodaAdapter.setViewBinder(new SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder() {
                 @Override
                 public boolean setViewValue (View view, Cursor cursor, int columnIndex){
                     if (view.getId() == R.id.imageView1) {
                         ImageView IV=(ImageView) view;
                         int resID = getApplicationContext().getResources().getIdentifier(cursor.getString(columnIndex), "drawable",  getApplicationContext().getPackageName());
                         IV.setImageDrawable(getApplicationContext().getResources().getDrawable(resID));
                         return true;
                    }
                     return false;
         }
