I am novice and trying to allow my ListView to refresh after my SQLite DB is updated. I am not receiving a compiling error after I revised my onResume() method. I am using a SimpleCursorAdapter to requery but it's not working. The error received was from logcat and is below. Please advise… examples help best.

Create adapter using the cursor pointing to the desired data as well as the layout information.
SimpleCursorAdapter mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, cursor, columns, to);
In your case as u r using R.layout.simple_list_item_1
columns will be null or Particular column data which you get from cursor
to will be android.R.id.text1
For e.g.
  Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(People.CONTENT_URI, new String[]{People._ID, People.NAME, People.NUMBER}, null, null, null);
  startManagingCursor(cursor);
   // THE DESIRED COLUMNS TO BE BOUND
   String[] columns = new String[] { People.NAME, People.NUMBER };
  // THE XML DEFINED VIEWS WHICH THE DATA WILL BE BOUND TO
   int[] to = new int[] { R.id.name_entry, R.id.number_entry };
       SimpleCursorAdapter mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,R.layout.list_example_entry, cursor, columns, to);
