Question

My recent app is like a forum, i use listview to show each thread. Each of the item contain in the ListView is combined by some textview, one of them called “contentTextView” is used to show the content of the thread, i also use TextView.fromHtml to show some custom tags and pictures. Sometimes there is a lot of pictures in one thread, for example 100. Although i use Bitmap.imageScale to get a smaller pictures, but maybe the image is so many there always a out-of-memory error.

I have check all the solution on the internet, but i only find some way like WeakReference…i think my problem is because of the TextView always trying to show everything in it at the same time….

So I am wandering if there is a solution to make it load what it should be seen by user?

You should use the “lazy load” and “recycling” approaches.
Take a look at Fedor’s code here:
