Eu acho que isso é uma questão para especialistas.

Eu recebo chamadas paragetView() compositon fora dos limites deExibição de lista lista de dados.
Isso acontece quando eu uso o filtro do adaptador. O filtropublishResults() O método preenche os dados com uma lista filtrada que é menor que a lista original.
O erro parece ocorrer quando a nova lista filtradaé mais curto que o anterior lista filtrada. Eu mudei o código degetView() devolver um manequimconvertView quando fora dos limites, apenas para ver quantas chamadas são emitidas.

Estes são o código relevante e olog mensagens que eu registrei:

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        // No logs here to keep ListView performance good
        Log.d(TAG, "+ getView( position=" + position + ")");
        ViewHolder holder;

        if( position >= mData.size() ) {
            // This code allows to see how many bad calls I get
            Log.w(TAG, "position out of bounds!");
            convertView = mInflater.inflate(mLayout, parent, false);
            return convertView;
        }

        . . . // Normal getView code

        return convertView;
    }

No filtro (código copiado como é deArrayAdapter Código fonte)

        @Override
        protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint, FilterResults results) {
            Log.pe(TAG, "+ publishResults(constraint:" + constraint + ", results.count:" + results.count + ")");
            //noinspection unchecked
            mData = (ArrayList<String>) results.values;
            if (results.count > 0) {
                notifyDataSetChanged();
            } else {
                notifyDataSetInvalidated();
            }
            Log.px(TAG, "- publishResults()");
        }

O arquivo de log mostra que depois de um filtro com 7 resultados, vem um fitler com 3 resultados, masgetView continua recebendo chamadas para 7 itens (marquei com*** as chamadas fora dos limites):

O que você está vendo aqui, opublishResults() método mudou mData de uma lista de 7 itens para uma lista mais curta de 3 itens, veja o código acima, mas oAdapter continua recebendogetView() pede a lista de 7 itens, mesmo que não esteja mais lá.
Observe quenotifyDataSetChanged() foi chamado com a nova atribuição de dados, então oListView deve estar ciente da nova lista.
