[java] view plaincopy
/**
* The data set used to store unused views that should be reused during the next layout
* to avoid creating new ones
*/
final RecycleBin mRecycler = new RecycleBin();
注释的意思上用一个数据集来存储应当在下一个布局重用的View，避免重新创建新的布局。这个对象应该就是对我们缓存管理的核心类了。继续看这个类，这是一个内部类：
[java] view plaincopy
/**
* The RecycleBin facilitates reuse of views across layouts. The RecycleBin has two levels of
* storage: ActiveViews and ScrapViews. ActiveViews are those views which were onscreen at the
* start of a layout. By construction, they are displaying current information. At the end of
* layout, all views in ActiveViews are demoted to ScrapViews. ScrapViews are old views that
* could potentially be used by the adapter to avoid allocating views unnecessarily.
*
* @see android.widget.AbsListView#setRecyclerListener(android.widget.AbsListView.RecyclerListener)
* @see android.widget.AbsListView.RecyclerListener
*/
class RecycleBin { private View[] mActiveViews = new View[0]; private ArrayList<View>[] mScrapViews; <span style="white-space:pre"> </span> .... }
大概意思：这个类是用来帮助在滑动布局时重用View的，RecycleBin包含了两个级别的存储，ActiveViews和ScrapViews，ActiveViews存储的是第一次显示在屏幕上的View；所有的ActiveViews最终都会被移到ScrapViews，ScrapViews存储的是有可能被adapter复用的View。
现在很明确了AbsListView缓存依赖于两个数组，一个数组存储屏幕上当前现实的ItemView，一个显示从屏幕下移除的且可能会被复用的ItemView。下面看ListView里面的代码：
[java] view plaincopy
@Override
protected void layoutChildren()
{
if (dataChanged)
{
for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++)
{
recycleBin.addScrapView(getChildAt(i));
}
} else
{
recycleBin.fillActiveViews(childCount, firstPosition);
}
....
}
[java] view plaincopy
/**
* Fill ActiveViews with all of the children of the AbsListView.
*
* @param childCount The minimum number of views mActiveViews should hold
* @param firstActivePosition The position of the first view that will be stored in
* mActiveViews
*/
void fillActiveViews(int childCount, int firstActivePosition)
{
if (mActiveViews.length < childCount)
{
mActiveViews = new View[childCount];
}
mFirstActivePosition = firstActivePosition;
final View[] activeViews = mActiveViews;
for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++)
{
View child = getChildAt(i);
activeViews[i] = child;
}
}
可以看出，如果数据发生变化则把当前的ItemView放入ScrapViews中，否则把当前显示的ItemView放入ActiveViews中。那么咱们关键的getView方法到底是在哪调用呢，下面看RecycleBin中的方法：
[java] view plaincopy
/**
* Get a view and have it show the data associated with the specified
* position. This is called when we have already discovered that the view is
* not available for reuse in the recycle bin. The only choices left are
* converting an old view or making a new one.
*
* @param position The position to display
* @param isScrap Array of at least 1 boolean, the first entry will become true if
* the returned view was taken from the scrap heap, false if otherwise.
*
* @return A view displaying the data associated with the specified position
*/
View obtainView(int position, boolean[] isScrap)
{
isScrap[0] = false;
View scrapView;
scrapView = mRecycler.getScrapView(position);
View child;
if (scrapView != null)
{
