getLastVisiblePosition returning -1

Question

I'm having a problem with my ListView (using CursorAdapter). When I call getListView().getLastVisiblePosition() I am receiving -1. This is a problem since my list is populated with items. Additionally, getListView().getFirstVisiblePosition() always returns 0, no matter where I am scrolled on the list. Any ideas?

It has something to do with startManagingCursor

    @Override
    public void changeCursor(Cursor cursor) {
        super.changeCursor(cursor);
        MyActivity.this.mCursor = cursor;
        //startManagingCursor(MyActivity.this.mCursor);
    }

If I comment out startManagingCursor, everything works fine. I've also tried adding stopManagingCursor() before changing the Cursor and still have the same problem.

My guess is that your getItem(int position) and getItemId(int position) methods aren't defined correctly in your adapter.
