What are those constructor parameters: from and to?

SimpleCursorRecyclerAdapter(int layout, Cursor c, String[] from, int[] to) 

EDIT
Found it in a comment in your web site:
"String[] from is the array of column names. int[] to is the ids of the TextViews you want the columns mapped to."
I guess the ids should be in form R.id.my_view_id.
