Question

I have a ListView with a SimpleCursorAdapter and I wonder how to get a position in ListView for an id? I need it to perform a click on particular row of the list like this

lv.performItemClick(lv, pos, lv.getItemIdAtPosition(pos));

Answer 1

Iterate over your Cursor used in the SimpleCursorAdapter and check the ids:

if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
    while (!cursor.isAfterLast) {
         if (cursor.getLong(/*the index of the _id column*/) == theTargetId) {
              theWantedPosition = cursor.getPosition();
              break; 
         }
         cursor.moveToNext();
    } 
}
lv.performItemClick(lv, theWantedPosition, lv.getItemIdAtPosition(theWantedPosition));
