How does getItem() in an arrayAdapter work?

android, listview

Solution

`getItem()` returns the item's data object. It provides a way for you to access data in the adapter. For example, your array adapter holds string elements, `getItem()` returns a string object.

Problem

I've read lots of tutorials from my manual and on the internet that explain the getView method, but I haven't understood why they use it. Could anyone explain it to me with some examples or snippets?
