android - ListView in ArrayAdapter order get's mixed up when scrolling -

i have listview in custom arrayadapter displays icon imageview , textview in each row. when make list long enough let scroll through it, order starts out right, when start scroll down, of earlier entries start re-appearing. if scroll up, old order changes. doing repeatedly causes entire list order seemingly random. scrolling list either causing child order change, or drawing not refreshing correctly.

what cause happen? need order items displayed user same order added arraylist, or @ least remain in 1 static order. if need provide more detailed information, please let me know. appreciated. thanks.

i having similar issues, when clicking item in custom list, items on screen reverse in sequence. if clicked again, they'd reverse originally.

after reading this, checked code overload getview method. getting view convertedview, , if null, that's when i'd build stuff. however, after placing breakpoint, found calling method on every click , on subsequent clicks, convertedview not null therefore items weren't being set.

here example of was:

 public view getview(int position, view convertview, viewgroup parent) {     view view = convertview;     if (view == null)     {         layoutinflater vi = (layoutinflater) getcontext().getsystemservice(context.layout_inflater_service);         view = vi.inflate(r.layout.listitemrow, null);          rssitem rssitem = (rssitem) super.getitem(position);         if (rssitem != null)         {             textview title = (textview) view.findviewbyid(r.id.rowtitle);             if (title != null)             {                 title.settext(rssitem.gettitle());             }         }     }     return view; } 

the subtle change moving close brace null check on view after inflating:

 public view getview(int position, view convertview, viewgroup parent) {     view view = convertview;     if (view == null)     {         layoutinflater vi = (layoutinflater) getcontext().getsystemservice(context.layout_inflater_service);         view = vi.inflate(r.layout.listitemrow, null);     }     rssitem rssitem = (rssitem) super.getitem(position);     if (rssitem != null)     {         textview title = (textview) view.findviewbyid(r.id.rowtitle);         if (title != null)         {             title.settext(rssitem.gettitle());         }     }     return view; } 

i hope helps others experience same problem.
