This is going to be a quick hit blog post about the Android "ViewHolder" pattern. To really make use of the ViewHolder with Android you do need to know what theListView widget is (a helper for managing views of lists), and that ListViews and generally backed byAdapters (adapters provide data for lists and build views for said data, they can be made from lists of stuff in files, or from in memory arrays, or from databases, and so on).
We will look at the code, complete with ViewHolder, coming up. First a bit more background.
