I have a weird problem with listview, while using simplecursor adapter. Here is the error
08-31 21:50:14.540: INFO/dalvikvm(12195): Uncaught exception thrown by finalizer (will be discarded):

I have runQueryOnBackgroundThread implemented in my cursorAdapter, which is invoked by the Filter.filter method call from the activity. So I dont have any reference of the cursor in my activity. Everytime I query I understand I get cursor changed callback in my cursor adapter, which extends SimpleCursorAdapter
Here is how it looks
public void changeCursor(Cursor cursor) {
Log.d(TAG, "Cursor changed ... **************** "+ cursor);
if (cursor != null) {
setLoading(false);
}
super.changeCursor(cursor);
initSectionHeaders(cursor);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
runQueryOnBackgroundThread() just returns a cursor from a query.
Am I missing something, should the cursor be closed or managed anywhere? Any help on the leads would greatly help. Thanks in advance.
**UPDATE** Snippets of my adapter
public Cursor runQueryOnBackgroundThread(CharSequence constraint) {
Log.d(TAG, "runQueryOnBackgroundThread "+ constraint);
if (getFilterQueryProvider() != null) {
return getFilterQueryProvider().runQuery(constraint);
}
return doQuery(constraint, People.CONTENT_URI);
}
private Cursor doQuery(CharSequence constraint, Uri queryUri){
StringBuilder selectionStrBuilder = new StringBuilder();
String selectionArgs[] = null;
String selection = null;
if(constraint!=null){
//ADDING GLOB so that the sql query can interpret linux style wildcards
selectionStrBuilder.append("(UPPER(").append(People.DISPLAY_NAME).append(") GLOB ?)");
selection = selectionStrBuilder.toString();
String constraintStr = constraint.toString().toUpperCase();
//prepend and append '*' - TODO improve
constraintStr = "*"+ constraintStr;
constraintStr +="*";
selectionArgs = new String[]{constraintStr};
}
ContentResolver contentRes = context.getContentResolver();
return contentRes.query(queryUri, null, selection, selectionArgs, People.DISPLAY_NAME);
}
Other than these two functions I have changeCursor overridden as posted earlier and use the cursor in bind view to get the data. I don’t close or modify cursor properties anywhere else.
My provider getQuery function looks like
SQLiteDatabase db = dbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor c = qb.query(db, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null, null, orderBy);
// Tell the cursor what uri to watch,
// so it knows when its source data changes
c.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), uri);
return c;
UPDATE2*
When I run the same program on the emulator I get this stack trace, which is very different from what I see on the tablet.

And Crashes the application.
I found a bug report on this issue here
Anyone faced the same problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ah finally found a soln to this freaking issue. Just that some cursor in some other part of the framework was open. Works when closed.
