Body
I populate ListView with data from a Sqlite database using custom CursorAdapter. When user moves away from my activity and comes back later I loose the position in my cursor and the ListView is positioned to the first item again. When skipping startManagingCursor() it works as expected. How do I work around this? Here is a code snippet called OnCreate(): <pre><code>cursor = db.getAll(); startManagingCursor(cursor); myAdapter = new MyAdapter(listview.getContext(), cursor, true); listview.setAdapter(myAdapter); </code></pre>

2. COThis seems like a bug to me. I couldn't figure out what was causing it, but you are right its the managed cursor and auto-requerying. This seems odd. Why does this convenience conflict with normal ListView behavior, seems like faulty design. Requerying has the potential to bring in completely new data, in which case ListView can't logically restore state. Most of the time though the requery isn't actually changing the dataset so it definitely should restore the position.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
