overriden getView() in customized SimpleCursorAdapter does not show content on screen for CheckedTextView

Question

I need to programmatically check or uncheck contact list based on user selected contact group. Based on some suggestions I got from this forum, I should implement the logic in either getView() or bindView() in my adaptor which extends SimpleCursorAdapter. However, the code shown below does not seem to work. The contact list on screen is blank. Could you tell me what I did wrong?

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
ContactViewHolder holder = null;
CheckedTextView tv = null;
if (convertView == null) {
    int layout = android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice;
    convertView = mInflater.inflate(layout, viewGroup, false);
    holder = new ContactViewHolder();
    tv = (CheckedTextView) convertView.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
    holder.checkedTextView = tv;
    holder.position = position;
    holder.displayName = contactList.get(position);
    holder.checked = tv.isChecked();
    convertView.setTag(holder);
    contactListMap.put(position, holder);
} else {
    holder = (ContactViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
ContactViewHolder value = contactListMap.get(position);
holder.checkedTextView = value.checkedTextView;
// holder.checkedTextView.setChecked(value.checked);

return convertView;
}

public class ContactViewHolder {

public String contactId;
public String displayName;
public int position;
public boolean checked;
public CheckedTextView checkedTextView;

}

Code snippet for Loading contacts inside fragment class which extends ListFragment implements LoaderCallbacks

private static final String[] PROJECTION = {Contacts._ID, // _ID is always required Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY // that's what we want to display };

// and name should be displayed in the text1 textview in item layout
private static final String[] FROM = {Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY};
private static final int[] TO = {android.R.id.text1};
private static String SORT_ORDER = Contacts.SORT_KEY_PRIMARY;
private static String SELECTION = Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY + "<>''" + " AND " + Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP
        + "=1";

@Override
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args) {

    // load from the "Contacts table"
    Uri contentUri = Contacts.CONTENT_URI;

    // no sub-selection, no sort order, simply every row
    // projection says we want just the _id and the name column
    return new CursorLoader(getActivity(), contentUri, PROJECTION, null, null, SORT_ORDER);
}

@Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor data) {
    // Once cursor is loaded, give it to adapter
    Map<String, Integer> allContacts = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
    mAdapter.swapCursor(data);

    List<String> contactList = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (data.moveToFirst(); !data.isAfterLast(); data.moveToNext()) {
        String contactId = data.getString(data.getColumnIndex(Contacts._ID));
        String display = data.getString(data.getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY));
        contactList.add(display);
    }
    mAdapter.setContactList(contactList);

    //mCallback.setInitialContactList(allContacts);

}

The reason I had to do above code is that to set checked on checkedTextView , I think I need to call:

getListView().setItemChecked(positon, true);

However, I only know the position of the cursor, but not the position of the ListView. Is there anyway to find the listview position based on cursor position? If so, I don't even need above getView() code.

Also, should I override getView() or bindView()? The bindView does not have position so I cannot cal getListView().setItemChecked(position, true). Any suggestion for a different approach?

This seems to be a very common use case. But I have spent many days trying different things and it still does not work. Please help me. Thanks a lot!
