I found the answer for my question. In general, CursorLoader doesn’t automatically detect data changes and load them to view. We need to track URI for changes. This can be done by following steps: Registering an Observer in content resolver through cursor using: (Done in the query method of ContentProvider) cursor.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), uri); Now when there … Read more

And did you call getContext().getContentResolver().notifyChange(uri, null) in the ‘insert’ method of your ContentProvider? EDIT: To get a ContentResolver call getContext().getContentResolver() in your ContentProvider.
So I finally got this to work. Here’s how i did it: I added: ListView lv = getListView(); lv.setFastScrollEnabled(true); lv.setScrollingCacheEnabled(true); to the onLoadFinished() method after the new cursor was swapped in like so public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor data) { // Swap the new cursor in. (The framework will take care of closing the // … Read more

I wrote a simple CursorLoader that does not need a content provider: import android.content.Context; import android.database.Cursor; import android.support.v4.content.AsyncTaskLoader; /** * Used to write apps that run on platforms prior to Android 3.0. When running * on Android 3.0 or above, this implementation is still used; it does not try * to switch to the framework’s … Read more
