ListView: Prevent a view from recycling

Answer 1

Besides the animation problem Daniel talked about, another issue where knowing when your view is recycled has to do with memory management. If you are putting large, memory intensive bitmaps in your list items, it may be possible that you don't want your view recycled if its not likely to be re-used by other items. This hook gives you a chance to clear the bitmap you may have assigned to an ImageView. Hopefully, this is a rare problem.
