Why is Android recycling the wrong view type in my SpinnerAdapter?

Question

I\'m trying to make an ActionBar spinner that has separators. I have implemented a SpinnerAdapter that has 2 item view types (thanks to getViewTypeCount

Answer 1

The problem is here:

public View getView(final int position, final View convertView, final ViewGroup parent) {
    return getView(mActionBarItemLayoutResId, position, convertView, parent);
}

This method will always return the same View type, whether called for a separator or a data item. You need to check the position here and return an appropriate view.
