/**
 * An easy adapter to map columns from a cursor to TextViews or ImageViews
 * defined in an XML file. You can specify which columns you want, which
 * views you want to display the columns, and the XML file that defines
 * the appearance of these views.
 *
 * Binding occurs in two phases. First, if a
 * {@link android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder} is available,
 * {@link ViewBinder#setViewValue(android.view.View, android.database.Cursor, int)}
 * is invoked. If the returned value is true, binding has occured. If the
 * returned value is false and the view to bind is a TextView,
 * {@link #setViewText(TextView, String)} is invoked. If the returned value
 * is false and the view to bind is an ImageView,
 * {@link #setViewImage(ImageView, String)} is invoked. If no appropriate
 * binding can be found, an {@link IllegalStateException} is thrown.
 *
 * If this adapter is used with filtering, for instance in an
 * {@link android.widget.AutoCompleteTextView}, you can use the
 * {@link android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter.CursorToStringConverter} and the
 * {@link android.widget.FilterQueryProvider} interfaces
 * to get control over the filtering process. You can refer to
 * {@link #convertToString(android.database.Cursor)} and
 * {@link #runQueryOnBackgroundThread(CharSequence)} for more information.
