Appreciate the commentary on all declaration and method use. By far the best tutorials I have viewed for ListViews!

Hi Mitch,
I want to thank you for your videos, they are very helpful and clear.
Still I have a question: I made a little app like the one you did here; it's a sort of MediaPlayer, you scroll and play the media you want, clicking on its row.
To make it more "user friendly", when you click on a row, it changes color to highlight it - and on ending of the audio, it comes back to the starting color.

Now the problem is: if i play i.e. the first row and i scroll down and again up, the row doesn't "hold" the highlighted color.
With the animation like the one you did, the highlighted color passes from a row to another; without animation, the highlighted color just disappears.
I'm pretty sure that there is a logic in scrollig views/adapters that I'm missing.

Any ideas or suggestion?
Thank you very much!
Keep on with your tutorials! :)

Hi Mitch, could you kindly explain how I could reference these TextView items from the MainAcitivity? I need to add click listeners to invoke a function in it. Thanks.

[AviPars]

pretty good. I'm working on an app that loads images into a recycler view. when I try to reference one image, it just gives me the reference to a different one.

Custom listview in a fragment, please Mitch☺

I feel the concept wasn't explained clearly: Even if the list is 100 items long, only about 10 items fit on the screen at once. So, ArrayAdapter is smart, and once 10 items are loaded, as user moves around, it re-uses one of the existing rows, and just passes it to you for you to change out the values.
So, 0 to 9 get null convertView, so we have to create them via inflate. Then, when the user scrolls up by one element, ArrayAdapter pulls out 0, puts it at the bottom and makes it position 10 and then gives it to you for setting the new values.

Would removing the animations (setting all values to 0 in load_down_anim and load_up_anim) cause performance issues?
