I'm having a tough time understanding the documentation for endless adapter
I tried following these quick steps by Commonsware to no avail: How can I use a custom adapter with the cwac-endless adapter?
So, first, you get your custom adapter working correctly on its own. Then, you create your EndlessAdapter subclass (with your implementation of cacheInBackground(), etc.), wrap your custom adapter in an instance of your EndlessAdapter subclass, and put your instance of your EndlessAdapter subclass in your ListView
I have three java classes. My activity, my regular adapter (that works before I tried to integrate endless adapter), and I have a subclassed endless adapter. I'm sure I'm just doing something small that is making this not trigger properly. My app does NOT crash, and it SHOWS my "Loading" view, it just never updates, and seems to load a lot of stuff afterwards because the gui really slows down. I'm probably stuck in some kind of loop. Any ideas?
