I have an app that stores items in a local database, displayed to the user using a ListView, also in the layout is an EditText that can be used to filter the list. All of this works fine, my issue is I would also like to include items returned by a web service (JSON) in this list also. I’m not having an issue parsing the JSON, my issue is simply how do I insert/add the results from the web service to the ListView?

The data for the ListView comes from a cursor handled by a SimpleCursorAdapter, I just can not figure out how to add the items from the JSON results to the Cursor (I don’t actually think you can write to a Cursor outside of performing a Query).

    If you don’t want to insert the JSON results into the local DB, then one approach would be to use an ArrayAdapter to back the ListView. You can then populate the array by inserting results from the cursor and the JSON query.

    Hope this helps,
