I am populating a text and list view from a sqllite database. The data is populating from the cursor correctly (I see the list filling with text rows), but I'm not able to see the actual text in the rows - all I see are empty rows. For the life of me, I can't figure out what I'm not able to see the data in the text rows.

My layouts: Tab layout:

list layout:

row layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

/>

My topics activity

package com.gotquestions.gqapp;

import com.gotquestions.gqapp.R.layout;

import android.R; import android.app.ListActivity; import android.database.Cursor; import android.database.SQLException; import android.os.Bundle;

import android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;

public class TopicsActivity extends ListActivity { private DataBaseHelper myDbHelper; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    //
    DataBaseHelper myDbHelper = new DataBaseHelper(this);
    myDbHelper = new DataBaseHelper(this);

//test

    try {

        myDbHelper.openDataBase();

    }catch(SQLException sqle){

        throw sqle;

    }



        setContentView(layout.list_layout);
        Cursor c = myDbHelper.fetchAllTopics();
        startManagingCursor(c);

        String[] from = new String[] { DataBaseHelper.KEY_TITLE };
        int[] to = new int[] { R.id.text1 };

        // Now create an array adapter and set it to display using our row
        SimpleCursorAdapter notes =
            new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, layout.notes_row, c, from, to);
        setListAdapter(notes);

        myDbHelper.close();








}

}

My database helper:
