Hi, Brian.

As I see it, CursorAdapters are not the data layer, but the means to exchange data. You can pass a CursorAdapter between tiers (data - bizobjs - UI) and use the underlying dataset, much as we could do before with an XML string or an ADO recorset, but with a cleaner interface.

Hope this helps,
