SimpleAdapter and SimpleCursorAdapter, as you cite below, do not handle 
every scenario.

In the original post, the author wanted a varying number of TextView 
widgets per list entry based upon some arbitrary criteria, and that's 
beyond Simple...'s built-in capabilities AFAIK. The same would hold true 
for any other changes beyond simply pouring in raw data (color changes 
based on other criteria, formatting dates according to a specific 
DateFormatter, complex rules for which Cursor property is used under 
which circumstances, etc.).
