What's the difference between BaseAdapter and ArrayAdapter?

Question

I want to know the difference between using BaseAdapter and ArrayAdapter.

I have been achieving what I want through ArrayAdapters

Answer 1

One more difference between BaseAdapter and ArrayAdapters is, if you extend array adapter you have to call super class constructor in the subclass constructor.

UserListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter{

   List UserList;
   Context context;

   public UserListAdapter(Context context, int resource,List listUsers) {
     super(context, resource, listUsers);      /* Super class constructor is called */
     UserList = listUsers;
     this.context = context;
   }

}

But there is no super class for BaseAdapter. As BaseAdapter serves as super class for all other adapters

UserListAdapter extends BaseAdapter{

   List UserList;
   Context context;

   public UserListAdapter(Context context, int resource,List listUsers) {
     /* No super class constructor */
     UserList = listUsers;
     this.context = context;
   }

}
