Answer 1

Check your layouts and cursor column name array lengths in the CursorAdapter's constructor. When the two array's length mismatch, it causes ArrayOutOfBoundsException.

Answer 2

your problem is in the getView method , this method will be called whenever u scroll through your array so make sure u check if the view is not null before doing any logic there.

Answer 3

This is caused by setting android:ellipsize="middle" (or start) on a TextView that does not have android:singleLine="true" on.

For example, the following crashes on this error:

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:ellipsize="middle"
    android:maxLines="1"
    android:text="blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahbla---go really long" />

But the following does not:

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:ellipsize="middle"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:text="blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahbla---go really long" />

Note: singleLine is a deprecated attribute but still works on Jelly Bean.

This is definitely related to text view ellipsize logic, It has nothing to do with adapter code.
