I am so confused when my list view using a BaseAdapter goes off the screen, each row no longer maintains a consecutive position. I don't know how else to explain it other than this.
If my BA/LV shows 4 items on the screen, and I add a view that displays a TextView of each row, it shows 0,1,2,3 for the row numbers (which is correct). But as soon as I scroll the list down to the bottom 4 items (items 5-8) it then shows those as 4,5,0,1?? Why?? I am so confused :/ I have tried doing all kinds of things (even some unconventional things, but this is the last thing I have that is not working).
** EDIT ** I did discover that if I change rv = (RowView) convertView; to
rv = new RowView(mContext,(cursor.getString(2)),
(cursor.getString(5)),
cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(DBHelper.KEY_IMAGEFILENAME)),
cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(DBHelper.KEY_CITY)),position);
that it works, but then it is not re-using the code. So I guess I am on the right track. I did try some convenience methods, but that did not help me too much because I needed to set those values before the Constructor fired off. Do I need to create a new method and fire that at the end? Such as 'addRow' method? This also causes it to scroll VERY Slow.
