how does osmdroid handle the tiles outside the viewport

apachemav...@gmail.com (maven apache) — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 07:49:26 UT

Hi:
Osmdroid will load tiles according to the map center and zoom level and the
size of the viewport ( see class TileOverlay).
It will create a `MapTile` object for each tile, and draw them.
However I have two questions:
1) what does osmdroid do when user touch and move the screen?
If so, then does osmdroid re-draw the view once the viewport is moved?
