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 you need to keep in memory 1M objects, and assuming the object data is small, than theis is just a few MB of memory, and should be fine to just keep in memory. From the question I understand that you will read more items when users scrolls forward, so in practice you will not have 1M rows - users will need to scroll for a long time to get to 1M. As long as you use the ListView properly, you can have the adapter data grow to be 1M+ rows in memory without any issue
