I have certain elements in a SimpleCursorAdapter "list" whose background color I want to change when it is displayed in a list, the position id of those elements is contained in position[]. I assume I have oversimplified it. Please help.

Definately check the link Rahul posted.
The basic idea is to implement your own cursor adapter. There's a getView (or something like that) which allows you to pass different views for the current item.
