Android Adapter getView Method: call super.getView or not?

Question

I saw getView implementations that used convertView parameter directly:

if(convertView!=null)
    ...
return convertView

Another implementations call super.getView:

View view = super.getView( position, convertView, parent );
if(view!=null)
    ...
return view

My question is, What is the right method?

Answer 1

the super.getView( position, convertView, parent ); is unsefull since the super does nothing.

getView belongs to the Adapter interface.
