Can anyone tell me what exactly does an array adapter do? I’ve tried searching the net but all I get is code examples. Please explain me what it does, I’ve visited the android developers as well.

An
ArrayAdaptercan be used as a data source for a number of different Android Views, such as aListViewor aSpinner.Basically, you pass some kind of array or list to the constructor of an
ArrayAdapter. Then, the adapter can be hooked up to aListViewby calling setAdapter(). You can also use theaddandremovemethods of the adapter to modify the underlying list itself.You can also use an
ArrayAdapterto customize the appearance of items in aListViewfor example (or other Views) by using the constructor and passing in theresourceof a layout to use, or by overriding the getView() method and building it yourself.
