Hey all..I am struck here, I have to display news in a separate list view from a news link web site, but when I debug the cursor goes null. How do I resolve this? Here is my code

Which cursor are you talking about?

If it's when you click on an item it's because you assign the cursor q null in onCreate and then call moveToPosition on it in onListItemClick.
