I have list view with fairly complex list view items consisting of several image views, several text views, progress bars, etc. Depending on the state of the item some of these elements can be show and some are hidden. I understand that listview recycles views. Right now I am dealing with slow listview scrolling especially on lower powered devices. What's the best way to deal with this problem?
I already optimized each list item view as much as I could. Now I am facing with what's the best? Use one single view with many children for all items and hide and show various children depending on the item state. This way I do not inflate each item view as list is being scrolled but need to show and hide constantly various child views. Another approach is to build item view dynamically each time view is requested in the adapter getView method. In this case I can only add at run time those elements that are truly needed for current item state but this requires inflating item view every time. Finally the third approach is most extreme is to have one custom view and draw everything myself. This of cause requires a lot of work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
