BaseAdapter or ArrayAdaptor - Android

I am going to make a grid of images and I am trying to figure out whether to use an array adaptor or a baseadaptor. While the GridView example, stores the data in an array, it uses a BaseAdapter rather than a ArrayAdaptor. I am curious why this is. One thing I noticed about an ArrayAdapter, is that its constructor takes a textViewResourceId for some unknown reason - although the documentation say the getView can be used to make it work with other kinds of views as well. So, if I want a fixed grid of images for a menu, which class would you recommend choosing?

You typically choose your adapter class based on what the model data is. If you have an ArrayList of objects, use ArrayAdapter. If you have a Cursor from a database query, use a CursorAdapter. BaseAdapter can be used for anything, but it requires more coding, since it has no innate knowledge of how to iterate over the data.
