How to load data to make them visible in an ActivityList?
<p>I'm relatively new to Android and have the following question. I have a local DB on the device from which I want to display the content in an ActivityList. Let's say there is a table "person" on the DB containing general information like "name, surname etc."
Every row in the table should be displayed as an item within the ActivityList.</p>

<p>I know that there exists a sort of Adapter with which I can directly fill the ActivityList with my table data, but is this the way to do it? 
Isn't it better to load all the data at startup and then hold them for the entire session and pass the data from one activity to another(or make them static..) if necessary, instead of loading the data every time I change to another Activity?</p>

<p>If I would have a normal Java application I would load the Data at startup and then just work with the loaded objects (at least for reasonable data sets). </p>

<p>Doesn't it make sense for an Android App too?</p>

<p>I will up-rate every answer that makes sense to me.</p>

<p>Thanks!
