    SQLiteDatabase db = new ToDoDatabase(getApplicationContext())
            .getWritableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = db.query(true, ToDoDatabase.TABLE_NAME, null, null,
            null, null, null, null, null);
    CustomCursorTreeAdapter cursorTreeAdapter = new CustomCursorTreeAdapter(
            getApplicationContext(), cursor, R.layout.group_item_layout,
            new String[] { ToDoDatabase.TASK_NAME_FORMAT_DATE },
            new int[] { R.id.groupItem }, R.layout.child_item_layout,
            new String[] { ToDoDatabase.TASK_TIME },
            new int[] { R.id.childItem });
    drawerList.setAdapter(cursorTreeAdapter);
}

public class CustomCursorTreeAdapter extends SimpleCursorTreeAdapter {

    public CustomCursorTreeAdapter(Context context, Cursor cursor,
            int groupLayout, String[] groupFrom, int[] groupTo,
            int childLayout, String[] childFrom, int[] childTo) {
        super(context, cursor, groupLayout, groupFrom, groupTo,
                childLayout, childFrom, childTo);
    }

    @Override
    protected Cursor getChildrenCursor(Cursor group) {
        SQLiteDatabase db = new ToDoDatabase(getApplicationContext())
                .getWritableDatabase();
        return db
                .query(
                        ToDoDatabase.TABLE_NAME,
                        new String[] { ToDoDatabase.TASK_TIME },
                        ToDoDatabase.TASK_NAME_FORMAT_DATE + " = ? ",
                        new String[] { group.getString(group
                                .getColumnIndex(ToDoDatabase.TASK_NAME_FORMAT_DATE)) },
                        null, null, null, null);
    }

    @Override

Answer 1

As @Selvin says, it appears you have an invalid return on your getChildrenCursor() method.

Refer to the documentation on the method.

The Cursors must include a column named "_id" or this class will not work.
