How to clear the views which are held in the ListView's RecycleBin?

Question

In Android\'s ListView widget, the ListView will hold the views which is got from getView method of an Adapter in a inner class

Answer 1

If I remember correctly a call to invalidate on a ListView widget will empty the cache of Views which are currently stored. I would advise against emptying the cache of views of a ListView because of the potential performance issues.

If you're not going to use the convertView item then you'll end up with having to build the row view each time(resulting in a lot of objects constructed each time the user scrolls) + the extra memory occupied by the recycled views from the RecycleBin which will never be used anyway.
