Thanks for the tutorial.

SurfaceHolder.lockCanvas() … If you call this repeatedly when the Surface is not ready (before Callback.surfaceCreated or after Callback.surfaceDestroyed), your calls will be throttled to a slow rate in order to avoid consuming CPU.

Could be some similar logic the cause for your FPS drop?

Very handy, only change I had to do was add an integer cast to the line:

1	mSoundPool.play(mSoundPoolMap.get(index), streamVolume, streamVolume, 1, 0, 1f);

like so:

1	mSoundPool.play((Integer) mSoundPoolMap.get(index), streamVolume, streamVolume, 1, 0, 1f);

Thanks for this tutorial. it finally solved my mystery of how to setup my own adapter so I can show images along with text.

However, as another reader mentioned, you probably forgot to point out that for your second tutorial to work, in the first tutorial one needs to change:

1	myAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.main, cursor, columns, names);

to:

1	myAdapter = new MySimpleCursorAdapter (this, R.layout.main, cursor, columns, names);

Thanks a lot for saving my time.
