I am facing some problem in understanding the terminologies and their uses.
I would like to know what adapter means, what is the use of it and where will it be used? Please provide a simple explanation.
Also, I would like to load images plus text over listview, how do I achieve that? Imagine I have a huge set of elements present in a database, how do I load them faster over List?
An Adapter object acts as a bridge between an AdapterView and the underlying data for that view. The
Adapterprovides access to the data items. TheAdapteris also responsible for making a View for each item in the data set.An
AdapterViewis a view whose children are determined by anAdapter.Some examples of AdapterViews are
ListView,GridView,SpinnerandGallery.Binding to Data with AdapterView
For different types of Adapters look at the blog ertry Android Adapters: an introduction
