    <p>I'm working with a listview and a context menu. When the user long presses an item in the context menu, a little mark appears next to the item in the list, to let the user know the item has been marked a favorite. This is all working well, EXCEPT that it causes a force close the very first time this is done. Every other time works just fine. Here is the relevant code:</p> <pre><code> @Override public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) { AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo(); switch (item.getItemId()) { case 0: mDbHelper.updateFavorite(info.id, 1); new bgRequery().execute(); return true; case 1: mDbHelper.updateFavorite(info.id, 0); new bgRequery().execute(); return true; default: return super.onContextItemSelected(item); } } private class bgRequery extends AsyncTask&lt;Void, Integer, Void&gt; { @Override protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids ) { mSpellCursor = fetchCursor(); return null; } @Override protected void onPostExecute(Void voids) { spellsAdapter.changeCursor(mSpellCursor); } } </code></pre> <p>Here is the exception:</p> <blockquote> <p>D/SpellBook( 5362): fetching Cursor E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): FATAL EXCEPTION: background thread E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): android.view.ViewRoot$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views. E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.view.ViewRoot.checkThread(ViewRoot.java:2932) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.view.ViewRoot.requestLayout(ViewRoot.java:629) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.view.View.requestLayout(View.java:8267) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.view.View.requestLayout(View.java:8267) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.view.View.requestLayout(View.java:8267) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.view.View.requestLayout(View.java:8267) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.widget.AbsListView.requestLayout(AbsListView.java:1102) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.widget.AdapterView$AdapterDataSetObserver.onChanged(AdapterView.java:790) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.database.DataSetObservable.notifyChanged(DataSetObservable.java:31) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.widget.BaseAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(BaseAdapter.java:50) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.widget.CursorAdapter.changeCursor(CursorAdapter.java:260) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at com.zalzala.spellbookpf.SpellsAz$bgRequery.onPostExecute(SpellsAz.java:228) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at com.zalzala.spellbookpf.SpellsAz$bgRequery.onPostExecute(SpellsAz.java:1) E/AndroidRuntime( 5362): at android.os.AsyncTask.finish(AsyncTask.java:417)</p> </blockquote> <p>So the error occurs when spellsAdapter.changeCursor(mSpellCursor); is called in onPostExecute. Since that function runs in the ui thread, I'm having a hard time understanding why I'm getting a background Tread error. What's making this harder to understand and debug is that it really only happens the very first time I do this. Every other time it works fine, even when the app starts fresh or the phone has rebooted. The only way to reproduce the bug is to uninstall the app and install it fresh. </p> <p>Just in case anyone needs it, I'm including the code of my adapter:</p> <pre><code>public class SpellListAdapter extends CursorAdapter { private LayoutInflater mLayoutInflater; private Context mContext; public SpellListAdapter(Context context, Cursor c) { super(context, c); mContext = context; mLayoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context); } @Override public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) { View v = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item_fave, parent, false); return v; } @Override public void bindView(View v, Context context, Cursor c) { String spell = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(SpellDbAdapter.KEY_SPELL)); int fave = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(SpellDbAdapter.KEY_FAVORITE)); /** * Next set the title of the entry. */ TextView Spell = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.text); if (Spell != null) { Spell.setText(spell); } //Set Fave Icon TextView Fave = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.fave_icon); Fave.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); if (fave == 1){ Fave.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); } } public void update() { notifyDataSetChanged(); } } </code></pre> <p>Thanks for your help.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I can work around this issue by not calling the cursor in a separate thread, but I thought it was good practice to use another thread for it instead of using the ui thread, so I would still love some help figuring this out.</p>

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
