My Custom CursorAdapter doesn't update my ListView - android-listview

Question

I'm having troubles with my Custom CursorAdapter and my ListView, the fact is, I can save data in my sqlite Database in my custom ContentProvider but my ListView is not populated.
I know DB Operations are heavy long operations, therefore I do it in another thread and furthermore CursorLoader is a subclass of AsyncTaskLoader, so it should be prepared for that.
With SimpleCursorAdapter works fine but with this Custom CursorAdapter not.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong and how could I solve it?
Thanks in advance.
My code is the following
public class TextNoteAdapter extends CursorAdapter {
/*********** Declare Used Variables *********/
private Cursor mCursor;
private Context mContext;
private static LayoutInflater mInflater=null;
/************* TextNoteAdapter Constructor *****************/
public TextNoteAdapter (Context context, Cursor cursor, int flags) {
super(context, cursor,flags);
mInflater =(LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
mContext = context;
mCursor = cursor;
}
#Override
public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {
//LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
View view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.textnote_info, parent, false);
ViewHolder holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.note_name = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.note_name);
holder.creation_date = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.creation_date);
holder.modification_date = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.modification_date);
holder.label_creation_date = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.label_creation_date);
holder.label_modification_date = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.label_modification_date);
view.setTag(holder);
return view;
}
#Override
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
// here we are setting our data what means, take the data from the cursor and put it in views
View vi = view;
ViewHolder holder = (ViewHolder)view.getTag();
if(view==null){
/****** Inflate textnote_info.xml file for each row ( Defined below ) *******/
vi = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.textnote_info, null);
/************ Set holder with LayoutInflater ************/
vi.setTag( holder );
} else
holder=(ViewHolder)vi.getTag();
/************ Set Model values in Holder elements ***********/
holder.note_name.setText(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(TextNotesDb.KEY_NOTE_NAME)));
holder.creation_date.setText(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(TextNotesDb.KEY_CREATION_DATE)));
holder.modification_date.setText(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(TextNotesDb.KEY_MODIFICATION_DATE)));
holder.label_creation_date.setText(Constants.LABEL_CREATION_DATE);
holder.label_modification_date.setText(Constants.LABEL_MODIFICATION_DATE);
}
#Override
protected void onContentChanged() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onContentChanged();
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
/********* Create a holder Class to contain inflated xml file elements *********/
public static class ViewHolder{
public TextView note_name;
public TextView creation_date;
public TextView modification_date;
public TextView label_creation_date;
public TextView label_modification_date;
}
}
And here my MainActivity

}
});
}
/** This is called when a new Loader needs to be created.**/
#Override

String[] projection = {

};
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(this, MyContentProvider.CONTENT_URI, projection, null, null, null);
return cursorLoader;
}
#Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor data) {
// Swap the new cursor in. (The framework will take care of closing the
// old cursor once we return.)
dataAdapter.swapCursor(data);
}
#Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> loader) {
// This is called when the last Cursor provided to onLoadFinished()
// above is about to be closed. We need to make sure we are no
// longer using it.
dataAdapter.swapCursor(null);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}

Answer 1

As in comment below my Question, I could solve it by adding 2 lines. Now it should look like this
#Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor data) {
// Swap the new cursor in. (The framework will take care of closing the
// old cursor once we return.)
dataAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); // <-
listView.setAdapter(dataAdapter); // <-
dataAdapter.swapCursor(data);
}
