thanks Kumar, that's exactly what I am doing but the problem is that I am getting the convertView as null all the time. Not once did I get the convertView not null (did you ever encounter such problem before). Otherwise, the adapter works fine. Even so, the inflate step is very expensive. It would be nice if I could inflate once in the constructor and then clone the inflated view in the getView as needed (when the convertView is null). Wouldn't it be nice?
