/** 
 * Demonstrates how to write an efficient list adapter. The adapter used in this example binds 
 * to an ImageView and to a TextView for each row in the list. 
 * 
 * To work efficiently the adapter implemented here uses two techniques: 
 * - It reuses the convertView passed to getView() to avoid inflating View when it is not necessary 
 * - It uses the ViewHolder pattern to avoid calling findViewById() when it is not necessary 
 * 
 * The ViewHolder pattern consists in storing a data structure in the tag of the view returned by 
 * getView(). This data structures contains references to the views we want to bind data to, thus 
 * avoiding calls to findViewById() every time getView() is invoked.
