inflate footer view is slow

Question

I have a problem using the footer of my list view. In fact, I inflate an xml and I send it to the footerView. When my activity appears, my listview is showing and after two or three seconds (sometimes more) my footer is showing. Why is it so long ?

Here is a part of my code :

private View footerView;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    footerView = ((LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)).inflate(R.layout.order_footer_item, null);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

// This is Android annotation
@AfterViews
protected void setAfterViews() {
    Adapter adapter = new Adapter();
    list.setAdapter(adapter);
    list.setOnItemClickListener(adapter);

    TextView text = (TextView) footerView.findViewById(R.id.text);
    text.setText("Test");
    list.addFooterView(footerView);
}

I have no problem except slowing. Why ? How can I improve that ?

Thx in advance

Answer 1

Add it before setting adapter.

list.addFooterView(footerView);

And then

list.setAdapter(adapter);
