I'm not sure why you think it's odd, that's all.

It's been discussed many times that you have to modify Views from the UI
thread. Calling close() on a Cursor in use by an AdapterView will cause
a modification of that View, because there are no more rows to show, and
so Android wants to get rid of the rows that are there. Otherwise, if
the user tried scrolling, you'd blow up at that point.

Hence, you have to call close() on the UI thread, or detach the Cursor
from the View before calling close(). The fact that the
Cursor/CursorAdapter are modifying the View, rather than directly from
your own code, matters not a whit.
