Cannot add footer view to listview on loading dynamic items in Android

Question

I am developing an Android app. In my app, I am mostly working with listview loading or adding more dynamic data. I am using volley for loading data over network. My listview is in a fragment. So not in an activity. What I want to do is , while listview is loading new item, I want to show loading progress bar like in Facebook and Twitter.

So I tried added footer when loading data and removed footer view. But it is throwing error when I add footer view to listview on requesting data over network.

This is how I initialised loading view for listview footer in Fragment:

.
.
.
.
    private View loadingView;

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.podcast_list_fragment,container,false);
        loadingView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listview_loading,container,false);

.
.
.
.

This is how I bind data to list view and add footer view

private void updateListItems()
    {
        listView.addFooterView(loadingView);
        String url = getResources().getString(R.string.api_endpoint)+"podcast";
        final HashMap<String,String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
        String queryString = "";
.
.
.

My app is working fine before I add footer view to listview to show loading progress. But I used that function, it is throwing errors.

This is the logcat

How can I correct this?

You Can hide and show the footer view. It is the easiest way. — kiran kumar, Feb 11 '16 at 13:00

list.setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener() {
    @Override
    public void onScrollStateChanged(ListView view, 
            int scrollState) {

    }

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

        // threshold being indicator if bottom of list is hit
        if (firstVisibleItem = threshold) {
            load();
        }
    }
});

private void load() {

    list.addFooterView(loadingFooter);
}

In your onCreate call something like this :

View footer = LayoutInflater.from(getActivity()).inflate(R.layout.your_fotter, mListView, false);
mListView.addFooterView(footer);

Then when data is fetched update your footer;

Take look at this answer is helpful too.

I got the same error message

java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.FrameLayout$LayoutParams cannot be cast to android.widget.AbsListView$LayoutParams

using androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView instead of fragment, when I tried to add a footer to a ListView. This error occurred only on Android 4.3, Level 19. Using fragment instead of androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView adding a footer was ok. Without a footer the error did not happen.

I solved this issue by:

In onCreateView: create the adapter and set the adapter on the ListView
In onViewCreated: create the footer view and add it to the ListView - listView.addFooterView(footer);

Cannot add footer view to listview on loading dynamic items in Android
