scrollingCache?

Question

Can anybody explain the meaning of scrolling cache in Android. I stumbled upon this word, but was unable to find the explanation, either on android official web

Answer 1

scrollingCache is explained in full detail in the lecture of "the world of listView".

It's basically caches the scrolling itself so that it will move a bitmap, but according to my experience, it actually makes things much slower and take memory for nothing special.

scrollingCache is enabled by default, at least for listView . That's why if performance is important for you, you should consider disabling it.
