ViewPager + recycling views?

android, android-gallery, android-viewpager

Solution

But the PagerAdapter class doesn't handle recycling of views for us (like a standard ListView), does it?

No, and I think it's because it was built assuming you are using different layouts for each of the page.

Also, as it is not being scrolled as fast as a `ListView` (you cannot "fling" a `ViewPager` to skip multiple pages), I think it doesn't need to have to recycle.

Problem

I'd like to create a gallery of photos that swipe left and right. At first I took a look at `Gallery`, but it's marked as deprecated. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Gallery.html We're told to try `ViewPager` instead. But the `PagerAdapter` class doesn't handle recycling of views for us (like a standard `ListView`), does it? http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/view/PagerAdapter.html Is it up to us to build the recycling mechanism? Thanks
