Changing values from Cursor using SimpleCursorAdapter

The simplest way to format a cursor value is to use SimpleCursorAdapter.setViewBinder(..):

SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.list, cursor,
            new String[] { Definition.Item.TITLE, Definition.Item.CREATE_DATE }, new int[] { R.id.title, R.id.createDate});

adapter.setViewBinder(new ViewBinder() {

    public boolean setViewValue(View aView, Cursor aCursor, int aColumnIndex) {

        if (aColumnIndex == 2) {
                String createDate = aCursor.getString(aColumnIndex);
                TextView textView = (TextView) aView;
                textView.setText("Create date: " + MyFormatterHelper.formatDate(getApplicationContext(), createDate));
                return true;
         }

         return false;
    }
});

i also had the same problem after long struggle finally i found answer :) ( see below )

use setViewText (TextView v, String text)

for example

SimpleCursorAdapter shows = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.somelayout, accountCursor, from, to)
{
 @Override
 public void setViewText(TextView v, String text) {
 super.setViewText(v, convText(v, text));
}    
};

private String convText(TextView v, String text)
{

 switch (v.getId())
 {
 case R.id.date:
             String formatedText = text;
             //do format
            return formatedText;
        }
return text;
}
