ListView学习(二)－ListView缓存机制

打开ListView源码查看ListView的继承结构，发现ListView是继承自AbsListView

ListView作为列表，可以显示成百上千个item。如果有多少数据，就创建多少个item，会占用很大内存，但是大多数item并没有显示在屏幕上，造成了内存浪费，所以移除屏幕的view就可以缓存起来，以便下次重用。ListView为我们提供了convertView，来复用view，这里介绍下ListView的缓存机制。

1. RecycleBin类

查看ListView源码并没有缓存的相关代码，那一定是在父类中了。查看AbsListView的成员变量，有个mRecycler，看注释：用来存储不使用的view，其将被下次layout的时候重新使用，以避免创建新的实例。

/**
 * 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();

看下RecycleBin这个类型，点进去查看，原来RecycleBin是AbsListView的内部类。

RecycleBin：大意就是通过两级缓存来缓存view。（RecycleBin在layout的过程中便于view重用,RecycleBin有两级存储:ActiveViews和ScrapViews。ActiveViews存储的是layout开始的时候屏幕上那些view。layout结束后,所有ActiveViews中的view被移动到ScrapViews中。ScrapViews中的views是那些可能被adapter重新用到的view,以避免重新创建不必要的view。）

1.1 RecycleBin成员变量

贴出RecycleBin的成员变量

/**
 * 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.
 */
class RecycleBin {
    private RecyclerListener mRecyclerListener;
    /**
     * The position of the first view stored in mActiveViews.
     */
    private int mFirstActivePosition;
    /**
     * Views that were on screen at the start of layout. This array is populated at the start of
     * layout, and at the end of layout all view in mActiveViews are moved to mScrapViews.
     * Views in mActiveViews represent a contiguous range of Views, with position of the first
     * view store in mFirstActivePosition.
     */
    private View[] mActiveViews = new View[0];
    /**
     * Unsorted views that can be used by the adapter as a convert view.
     */
    private ArrayList<View>[] mScrapViews;
    private int mViewTypeCount;
    private ArrayList<View> mCurrentScrap;
    private ArrayList<View> mSkippedScrap;
    private SparseArray<View> mTransientStateViews;
    private LongSparseArray<View> mTransientStateViewsById;
}

mActiveViews：一级缓存，顾名思义活动等view，这些view是布局过程开始屏幕上的view。layout开始时这个数组被填充，layout结束，mActiveViews中的view移动到mScrapViews。mActiveViews代表了一个连续范围的views，其第一个view的位置存储在mFirstActivePosition变量中。

mScrapViews ：二级缓存，顾名思义废弃的view，无序的被adapter的convertView使用的view的集合

mScrapViews是多个list组成的数组，数组的长度为viewTypeCount，每个item是个list，所以每个list缓存不同类型item布局的view，所以mScrapViews应该是下图的样子。

 

mCurrentScrap：是个List，当ListView的item布局只有一种的时候使用该变量缓存view。所以mCurrentScrap是个
