[mono-android] App Hanging

[Jonathan Pryor]

Which Mono for Android version is this? The 4.0.3 beta has a number of GC and JIT fixes which may fix what you're seeing.

Also, as Tomasz Cielecki mentioned, you appear to be creating lots of Java-side objects. The emulator only allows a limited number of Java-side objects to be created (due to a 2000 global reference limit), so you want to minimize the number of Java-side objects you create (within reason).

To that end, you may want to subclass BaseAdapter and override BaseAdapter.GetView() to reuse View instances instead of creating them all at once:
