Answer 1

Please correct me if I am wrong but I do it this way:

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
if (convertView == null) {
        convertView = ((LayoutInflater) this._ctx
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE))
                .inflate(this._resource, parent, false);

    }

   switch(position % 3){
      case 0: convertView.setBackgroun....
          break;
      .... (case 1; case 2;)

   }

return convertView;

}
