Android Endless list memory management

Question

I\'m implementing an endless listview by loading more items to the arraylist in the onScrollStateChanged(...) method. If I\'m implementing this scheme for fetching more than 1 m

Answer 1

If your ListView contains only text items, there is not much you need to do. However, if you are loading more memory intense things, like drawables (for example, you have a picture on the right side of your view), then you should do some recycling, for best result. You might receive an OutOfMemoryException very quickly on a weaker device. I could go OOM even on a Nexus 4. Just try to scroll very quickly, up and down, up and down, and repeat until force close.

Take a look at RecyclerListener, it is very easy to implement.
