I have also recently been implementing adapter-based image loading into a list.
I found that when I used SoftReferences, they started getting cleared very quickly indeed, after my cache of thumbnails was up to maybe 20 or so. When I use normal references, the cache grows happily to a couple of hundred thumbnails without OOMs being thrown. Being a java newbie, I don't pretend to understand this, but I went with normal references and careful OOM catching. BTW, tip maybe, I used onScroll and onScrollStateChanged from the list to initiate cache fills (rather than filling as a result of calls from getView()) because otherwise I found scrolling getting sluggish as the image cache got busy filling the cache while scrolling was still ongoing.
