In fact, I'm already using a SimpleCursorAdapter for a Spinner in the same Activity to improve the "user experience". The Activity has a Gallery/ListView (while portrait or landscape), a Spinner for the selected ImageView from the Gallery/ListView, so the user has the posibility to go across the whole list, or just pick one within the Spinner. The ImageView shows you an image that could be interesting but maybe you don't know it. And the Spinner shows you a name, that maybe you are familiar with. So, you have the possibility of choose that. This two widgets are connected each other in terms that selecting something in the Spinner will select something in the Gallery/ListView and that will update 5 TextViews. For instance, only I have 12 rows of things to pick, but it could be more. Also, picking just one will expand more information about that row. Basically, it's a tour app, that has tours, that each tour has interest points. I know that google has recently create something like city tour, but it's not quite the same. And, I need to send another mail with a different topic to this list about some weird issues i'm facing with ListView.
