                     View convertView,
                     ViewGroup parent) {

  ViewHolder viewHolder;
  if (convertView == null) {
   viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
   LayoutInflater inflater =
       ((Activity) context).getLayoutInflater();
   row = inflater.inflate(resource,
                          parent,
                          false);
