My ListView has two types of views. How to manage?

Question

My events management app has two types of views in the list view : a small simmple text view for not-so-important events and a complex view created with a FrameLayout

Answer 1

Due to the view recycling in Android, it may happen that the convertView returned to me is recycled from the simpler view and I now have to display the larger view.

Not if you override getViewTypeCount() and getItemViewType() in your adapter.

In your case:

• getViewTypeCount() would return 2

• getItemViewType() would return 0 or 1, where you return 0 for those positions that are one type of row, and return 1 for those positions that return the other type of row

Then, you are guaranteed that if convertView is not null, it is a row of the proper type.
