You typically choose your adapter class based on what the model data is. If you have an ArrayList of objects, use ArrayAdapter. If you have a Cursor from a database query, use a CursorAdapter. BaseAdapter can be used for anything, but it requires more coding, since it has no innate knowledge of how to iterate over the data.
