Android Dynamically Load ListView

• I am adding item i开发者_C百科n ListView using ArrayAdapter.
  • First display 15 item in the ListView.
  • Scroll to bottom it must fetch and display next 15 content from web API.

Give some idea.

There is a tutorial of lazy loading with image. You should check that out

Here is some demo of lazy listview from GitHub.

Hope those can help !!

set OnScrollListener. Check how much elements are visible, which is the first visible element.

@Override
        public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem, int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {

            if(((firstVisibleItem + visibleItemCount) == totalItemCount) && (totalItemCount > 0)) {
                loadNewData();
            }
        }

getView() of the Adapter will be invoked when an item is visible. So you can start the fetch and display next 15 when getView(14, convertView, parent).

It’s a time-consume task to load data from internet. So AsyncTask is implemented to handle the ListView the bitmap is also loaded in background thread which u can ignore and take the others, and setListAdapter() in onPostExecute().
