why CardView causing slow down the scrolling process?

I was using listView without with the custom layout which is having
Linear layout as parent layout. Scrolling was fine, Then I need to
implement CardView for elevation and round corner, After implementation
list Scrolling become slow.Moreover it is also slowing down the
RecyclerView Process.
here is my xml.

Cardview is probably just the "breaking point" for how much graphic content that cna be used in an unoptimized way without lagging. As mentioned in some comments you should be using a ViewHolder, here is a simple example of using a viewholder:
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_entry, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.nameTextView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.person_name);
holder.surnameTextView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.person_surname);
holder.personImageView = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.person_image);
convertView.setTag(holder);
}
else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
Person person = getItem(position);
holder.nameTextView.setText(person.getName());
holder.surnameTextView.setText(person.getSurname());
//holder.personImageView.setImageBitmap(person.getImage());
return convertView;
}

Additionally you should be using RecyclerView and not ListView, to optimize performance.

Try to minimize your view hierarchy and reduce complex operations from binding.

Get "No results" Message Custom Adapter ListView Android

I am having a problem to set a "No results" message when getCount() returns 0.
I have a custom layout for the listview, and I simply want to get a "No Results" textview when there is no data on the listview.
Any idea how to achieve this?
I saw something with a empty id, but that needs to be on a listview, since this is a custom layout, it doesn't have that "tag".
Custom Adapter Code:
public class ListScheduleAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
Context context;
protected List<Schedule> listSchedules;
LayoutInflater inflater;
public ListScheduleAdapter(Context context, List<Schedule> listSchedules) {
this.listSchedules = listSchedules;
this.inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
this.context = context;
}
public int getCount() {
return listSchedules.size();
}
public Schedule getItem(int position) {
return listSchedules.get(position);
}
public long getItemId(int position) {
return listSchedules.get(position).getCod_Horario();
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if (convertView == null) {
holder = new ViewHolder();
convertView = this.inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_list_item,
parent, false);
holder.txtTeacher = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.txt_teacher);
holder.txtDayofWeek = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.txt_dayofweek);
holder.txtSubject = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.txt_subject);
holder.txtTime = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.txt_time);
holder.txtRoom = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.txt_room);
holder.txtClass = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.txt_class);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
Schedule sche = listSchedules.get(position);
String fullTeacher = sche.getProfessor();
String[] names = fullTeacher.split(" ");
holder.txtTeacher.setText(names[0] + " " + names[names.length-1]);
holder.txtDayofWeek.setText(sche.getDia_Semana());
holder.txtSubject.setText(sche.getDisciplina());
holder.txtTime.setText(sche.getT_Entrada() + "h-" + sche.getT_Saida()+"h");
holder.txtRoom.setText(sche.getSala());
holder.txtClass.setText(sche.getTurma());
return convertView;
}
private class ViewHolder {
TextView txtTeacher;
TextView txtDayofWeek;
TextView txtSubject;
TextView txtTime;
TextView txtRoom;
TextView txtClass;
}
}
Fragment Code (method called on a async OnPostExecute method):
private void populateListView() {
ListScheduleAdapter adapter = new ListScheduleAdapter(getActivity(), ScheduleList);
listviewHorarios.setAdapter(adapter);

add

android:visibility="gone" />
to the same layout where you declared your ListView (wrap both in a FrameLayout)
on the ListView's instance call
listView.setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.empty));
when the adapter is empty, you will see the TextView apper

add TextView to your listview layout and setVisibility of it to GONE and check the adapter:
if(adapter==null){
listView.setVisiblity(View.GONE);
tvEmpty.setVisiblity(View.VISIBLE);
}
hope this will help.

Row in listview not preserve the makeover and appears repeated

I have a list that when you click on the row on the right side the layout with the icon is changed by other. This makes it well but when I scrolling in the list, I notice there are rows with the same icon without do click. Also, if I scroll quickly these same icons are lost and are built differently. I think it's on the reuse of cells but I can not find the solution. What I want is that the image stays active only in the row where clicka.
Thanks!!

You need to follow below Idea
1) this line of code mConverView = converView; doesn't makes sense. directly use converView(View from getView param). Remove mConvertView from the adapter.
2) Add some mechanism which can tell you which row is clicked and save that variable.
Example:- Have an boolean Array of size Rows.size . and set them in onClick.
Boolean[] array = new Boolean[getSize()];
in onClick that you already have in your getview set this.
public void onClick(View v) {
array[position] = !array[position];
viewHolder.lytUndo.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
//You do not need to call notifyDatasetChange.
3) in getView(), when you are setting data in to row items/or just before onClick. have a check like below.
if(array[position])// this will tell you if you need to show or hid lytUndo thing
viewHolder.lytUndo.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); // Show it
else
viewHolder.lytUndo.setVisibility(View.GONE); // hide it or do whatever you want
You might need to set some params as final
I have written this as simple as possible, comment back with your result.

How to populate a ListView with objects of a custom layout in a custom layout for ListFragment?

I am using ListFragment which by default inflates a full screen ListView. I can successfully populate this ListView with objects of a custom layout. My problem is, how do I populate these custom objects that have custom layout in a non-default layout in ListFragment?
This is the layout that I would like to inflate and place the objects in (id: "article_List").

I would like to stick with ArrayAdapter. Using the default implementation of ListFragment to populate the ListView with my custom adapter I did the following (which worked):
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(ArrayList<Article> result) {
getActivity().setTitle(R.string.title_bar);
ArticleAdapter adapter = new ArticleAdapter(articles);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}

Android ArrayAdapter, BaseAdapter not calling getView()

I am extending ListFragment to display data retrieved from a web server in an AsyncTask in another class. If I set a custom height (i.e. 400dp) on the #android:id/list widget in my xml, getView() does not get called at all. If I set it to wrap_content, getView() gets called for the list items but the list items don't show up! It seems that the listview does not expand to fit the item heights, even though the list item's xml specifies a layout height. When a fixed height is defined I can see the colored background of the list, but no data. getCount() never returns 0.
Part of the adapter class:
public class gAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<GroupObject> {
ArrayList<GroupObject> groups;
public gAdapter(Context context, int textViewResId, ArrayList<GroupObject> groups) {
super(context, R.layout.groups_listview_row, groups);
mInflater = (LayoutInflater) con.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
con = context;
this.groups = groups;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
final int pos = position;
View row = convertView;
if(convertView == null)
row = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.groups_listview_row, parent, false);
TextView name = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.groups_listview_name);
//Set name
try {
name.setText( groups.get(position).groupName);
Log.d("test", "Got name " + groups.get(position).groupName);
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
name.setText("Could not load name");
}
return row;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
Log.d("test", "Returning count " + (this.groups.size() != 0 ? this.groups.size() : 0));
return this.groups.size() != 0 ? this.groups.size() : 0;
}
#Override
public GroupObject getItem(int position) {
Log.d("test", "get item " + position);
return this.groups.get(position);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
