A custom CursorAdapter from one of my projects:
protected class ActivityCursorAdapter extends CursorAdapter {

private LayoutInflater mInflater;
private int mActivityIndex;
private int mTimeIndex;
private int mActionIndex;
private int mAmountIndex;

public ActivityCursorAdapter(Context context, Cursor c) {
super(context, c);

mActivityIndex = c.getColumnIndex(Notes.ACTIVITY);
mTimeIndex = c.getColumnIndex(Notes.TIME);
mActionIndex = c.getColumnIndex(Notes.ACTION);
mAmountIndex = c.getColumnIndex(Notes.AMOUNT);

mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
}

@Override
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
TextView activity = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
TextView time = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text2);
TextView actionAndAmount = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.text3);

activity.setText(cursor.getString(mActivityIndex));

long lTime = cursor.getLong(mTimeIndex);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTimeInMillis(lTime);
time.setText(cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) + “:” + String.format(“%02d”, cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)));

String amount = cursor.getString(mAmountIndex);
if ( amount.length() > 0){
actionAndAmount.setText(cursor.getString(mActionIndex) + ” (” + amount + “)”);
} else {
actionAndAmount.setText(cursor.getString(mActionIndex));
}
}

@Override
public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {
return mInflater.inflate(R.layout.activityitem_list, null);
}

}
