I have also tried:

activity.setContentView(R.layout.contacts); Cursor C = activity.getContentResolver().query(People.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null); activity.startManagingCursor(C);

String[] columns = new String[] {People.NAME}; int[] names = new int[] {R.id.contactsList};

SimpleCursorAdapter mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(activity, R.layout.contacts, C, columns, names); ListView contactsList= (ListView)activity.findViewById(R.id.contactsList); contactsList.setAdapter(mAdapter);

Here is gives me an exception saying: ListView is not a view that can be bounds by this simpleCursorAdapter.

Please help.

Thanks, Sylvester
