I wrote a large part of those views and it seems perfectly normal to me for the framework to do everything it can to provide with the best user experience. And that includes optimizing. Using bitmaps not only makes things faster it also helps performing less operations, which helps battery life and prevents from hogging the CPU for background apps (it works the other way around too.)

I seriously doubt that ListView does less work than the average side-scroller. -- Romain Guy Android framework engineer romain...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
