Вот строка ошибки:

if (cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(DB.FIRM_COLUMN_VIP)).compareTo("vip") == 0) {
    view.setBackgroundColor(0xFFFFFFFF);    
}

И сам биндер:

     firm_id =   cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(DB.FIRM_COLUMN_ID_FIRM));
     //SET IMAGE
     path_img =   cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(DB.FIRM_COLUMN_LINKIMAGE));
     Log.d(TAG, "bindChildView() returned: path_img" + path_img);
     if(path_img!=null) {

         if (bmp != null) {
