Do you have a database or array of items? `if(database) { cursorAdapter } else { arrayAdapter }` – Budius Mar 10 '16 at 12:11

That `CursorAdapter` doesn't require you to load the entire database into memory. – EpicPandaForce Mar 10 '16 at 12:21

CursorAdapter
is more appropriate when there is a database because it does not load all the records as ArrayAdapter
. It loads only the visible records.
