Answer 1

an adapter is used to react with or modify objects created from the xml side of your program during runtime. If you create a list box through the xml and want to populate it during runtime your java code uses an adapter to access and change that list box.

Adapter is an OOP design pattern. You can use an adapter to transform one interface/class into another one.
