GridView and ListView don't use any magic. They just do whatever they can to make things fast: - When you touch the screen, all the children are turned into bitmaps - When a child is turned into a bitmap, it's an opaque bitmap whenever possible (ListView reuse the background color of the window) - When you move your finger around, the bitmaps are simply moved - When a new child appears, it's turned into a bitmap, etc. ListView actually does quite a lot of things when you scroll it. -- Romain Guy Android framework engineer romain...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
