To further clarify the answer of farcats below in more general way, here is my explanation:

The vi.inflate operation (needed here for parsing of the layout of a row from XML and creating the appropriate View object) is wrapped by an if (view == null) statement for efficiency, so the inflation of the same object will not happen again and again every time it pops into view.

HOWEVER, the other parts of the getView method are used to set other parameters and therefore should NOT be included within the if (view == null) statement.

Similarily, in other common implementation of this method, some textView, ImageView or ImageButton elements need to be populated by values from the list[position], using findViewById and after that .setText or .setImageBitmap operations. These operations must come after both creating a view from scratch by inflation and getting an existing view if not null.
