getView not getting called?
<p>I have an adapter that extends simplecursoradapter. The new view is supposed to take a cursor from a database along with an image, populate a list with a couple of checkboxes.  For some reason I can't seem to see, my getView is not even being called.  I have a breakpoint inside getView and it never gets there and the list just shows up empty.
Can anyone take a look thru and see what I've done wrong</p>

<pre><code>public class TakeStudentAttendance extends ListActivity {
private gradeBookDbAdapter mDbHelper;
private Long mRowId;
private TextView mNameText;
private String classname;
private Boolean new_attendance = false;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Cursor stud;

    mDbHelper = new gradeBookDbAdapter(this);
    mDbHelper.open();
    mRowId = (savedInstanceState == null) ? null
            : (Long) savedInstanceState
                    .getSerializable(gradeBookDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID);
    if (mRowId == null) {
        Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
        mRowId = extras != null ? extras
                .getLong(gradeBookDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID) : null;
    }
    // pull in class data
    stud = mDbHelper.fetchClass(mRowId);
    startManagingCursor(stud);

    classname = stud.getString(
                stud.getColumnIndexOrThrow(gradeBookDbAdapter.KEY_CLASSNAME));
    String title = "Attendance for " + classname;
    setTitle(title);

    setContentView(R.layout.attendance_list);
    Button doneButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Done);
    doneButton.setOnClickListener(mAttendanceActivity);

            stud.getColumnIndexOrThrow(gradeBookDbAdapter.KEY_PREVDATE));

                                                      // attend, late, dtime

        // upon attendance start-up, NO ONE is present. Set all entries in DB to not present (0)
