Answer 1

You are not populating the list with the data you retrieved. And, you should use SimpleCursorAdapter in these cases:

private void getData() {

    db.open();

    List<String> items = new ArrayList<String>();

     Cursor c = db.getAllEntry();
     c.moveToFirst(); 

     ListAdapter adapter=new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
                     R.layout.view_list, c,
                     new String[] {"date", "title"},
                     new int[] {R.id.toptext, R.id.bottomtext});
     setListAdapter(adapter);

     setListAdapter(entries);

     db.close(); 
}

In this case I'm guessing your table has a column named date and another named title. Take a look at this example for further reference: SimpleCursorAdapters and ListViews
