MatrixCursor addRow and Drawable Resource

Hey Guys!
I've got the following problem: I've got an ArrayList with many values. Now, I want to put some of them into my ListView. The problem is, that this ListView contains an ImageView, which I want to fill with a BLOB field out of my ArrayList. My code looks like this wihout errors:

String[] menuCols = new String[] { mDbHelper.KEY_IMAGES, mDbHelper.KEY_NAME, mDbHelper.KEY_TIME };
 
int[] to = new int[] { R.id.image, R.id.name, R.id.time };
 
MatrixCursor menuCursor = new MatrixCursor(menuCols);
 
startManagingCursor(menuCursor);                    
 
for(int i = 0;i < res.length; i++) {
 
        resInner = (String[]) res[i];                           
 
        menuCursor.addRow(new Object[] { R.drawable.icon, resInner[1], resInner[0] });  
 
}
 
SimpleCursorAdapter menuItems = new SimpleCursorAdapter( this, R.layout.row, menuCursor, menuCols, to);         
 
setListAdapter(menuItems);

So, I've got my ListView with the AppIcon at the beginning of each entry. Now I need to load the image out of the BLOB Field, which is "resInner[6]". How do I do this? I already tried to put it in an ImageView somehow...but...well, it just failed ^^°

So, how could I do this?

I have the same problem.

It seems there is a problem to pass BLOB with MatrixCursor...

Probably true. I just took another way, to get the images right now. For me it was even simpler, because I put the images directly after an update of my data, to a shared folder on the SD Card. After all it was more senseful to do it like that, because the database otherwise had increased to something over 6MiB...which wasn't my intention

So I just store the URLs in it, create a md5 hash to the urls and save the images under that name on the card. Also the last timestamp, which I get through my updatepart, is saved in the name. Then, on a real update, I check these both things and load the picture, or just take the cached one. Due the fact, that I have to store something about ~200 images, it was necessary to do it like this. For example because of the reason, that the phone storage is limited and the SD Card has to be there anyway.
