    <p>Based on my testing, it appears that the accepted answer is incorrect (more so, unnecessary).</p> <p>From what I can tell (based on a simple Log.e output test), view recycling is correctly handled by default (as @Romain Guy stated). Which I think would justify there being no recommendation for you to need to override <strong>getView()</strong> in any documentation I have come across.</p> <p>This was the code snippet used in the simple example I used to come to this conclusion:</p> <pre><code>public class MediaAdapter extends CursorAdapter { @Override public void bindView(View arg0, Context arg1, Cursor arg2) { Log.e("bindView", "Called: " + arg2.getPosition()); ImageView iv = (ImageView) arg0; iv.setImageDrawable(new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(arg1.getContentResolver(), arg2.getInt(arg2.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media._ID)), MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND, null))); } @Override public View newView(Context arg0, Cursor arg1, ViewGroup arg2) { Log.e("newView", "Called: " + arg1.getPosition()); ImageView iv = new ImageView(ctFrag); iv.setLayoutParams(new AbsListView.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 96)); iv.setPadding(Spine.getDp(2), Spine.getDp(2), Spine.getDp(2), Spine.getDp(2)); return iv; } } </code></pre> <p>When using this in a GridView to display a grid of Image thumbnails available the LogCat output was the following:</p> <pre><code>06-11 21:50:09.906: E/newView(3192): Called: 0 06-11 21:50:09.906: E/bindView(3192): Called: 0 06-11

<strong>newView()</strong>, <strong>bindView()</strong> handles converting the views to optimize memory.</p> <p>(The few lines where <strong>newView()</strong> is called around the middle are just the <strong>GridView</strong> requiring a new row when displaying two fractions of a row as opposed to one whole).</p>

    1. COI'm using just a SimpleCursorAdapter and not overriding anything. My views are just TextViews. I did see Romain Guy's listview video and he says there's a bad way to override getView, but I'm not overriding it, so is it bad not to override it?

    2. CONo, it is never bad not to override something that has already been written. This issue here is more talking about overriding something with a consequence of overriding the already implemented memory optimization methods. It is never bad (realise that sweeping statement may be met with an exception....) to override something that is already written. Overriding is generally done to extend functionality if what is already there doesn't do what you require.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
