ListView with custom cursor adapter is blank
===

So I have been trying to get a ListView to display data from a SQLite Database for a few days now, and I still can't find a solution.

the ListView XML looks like:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >


	<Button 
        android:id="@+id/gotoEntry"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="New Entry" />
    
	<ListView 
    	android:layout_width="match_parent"
    	android:layout_height="match_parent"
    	android:id="@android:id/list" >
	</ListView>
	
    </LinearLayout>

with the row item looking like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:textSize="15dp"
    android:padding="15dp"
    android:id="@+id/thetext"
    >
    </TextView>

My cursoradapter looks like:

    public class ItemAdapter extends CursorAdapter{
	private Cursor iCursor;
	private Context iContext;
	private final LayoutInflater iInflater;
	
	
	public ItemAdapter(Context context, Cursor c) {
		super(context, c);
		iInflater=LayoutInflater.from(context);
		iContext=context;
	}


	@Override
	public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
	TextView itemName = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.thetext);
		
		itemName.setText(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(db_Setup.KEY_NAME)));
		}
	}


	@Override
	public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) throws InflateException {
		final View view = iInflater.inflate(R.layout.single_item, parent, false);
		return view;
	}
    }

The cursor is being made with this method:

    public static Cursor getName() {
        Cursor q = myDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new
            String[] {db_Setup.KEY_NAME}, null, null, null, null, null);
	q.moveToFirst();
		
	return q;
	}
and instantiated in the listactivity like so:

    Cursor cursor = db_Setup.getName();
I am trying to do this in my ListActivity to bind the listview to the cursor:

    ItemAdapter ia = new ItemAdapter(getBaseContext(), cursor);
    ia.bindView(findViewById(R.id.thetext), getApplicationContext(), cursor);

There are no errors when I run the app... all there is a button from the XML at the top of this post, and blankness (no listView)...
I have entered some values in the SQLite Database already with something like 14 values or so. Why isn't anything showing?
