This looks to be an elegant solution as well: http://benjii.me/2010/08/endless-scrolling-listview-in-android/

It also implements an AbsListView.OnScrollListener, and uses an AsyncTask to load more content as soon as a certain threshold of remaining items in the current scroll view is reached.

Great solution! But I've decided to change `(firstVisibleItem + visibleThreshold)` to `(firstVisibleItem + visibleItemCount)`. – Dmitry Zaytsev Sep 28 '12 at 13:56

You can implement an AbsListView.OnScrollListener, that gets informed and which allows you to load more data.

See e.g.

....
ListView.setOnScrollListener(this);
....

And then have a look at https://github.com/pilhuhn/ZwitscherA/blob/master/src/de/bsd/zwitscher/TweetListActivity.java#L287

Or take a look at the List9 example from the sdk examples.

This is what I used to load more data at the end of the listview

        listview.setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener(){

        @Override
        public void onScroll(AbsListView view,
        int firstVisibleItem, int visibleItemCount,
        int totalItemCount) {
        //Algorithm to check if the last item is visible or not
        final int lastItem = firstVisibleItem + visibleItemCount;
        if(lastItem == totalItemCount){                 
        // you have reached end of list, load more data             
        }
       } 
        @Override
        public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view,int scrollState) {
        //blank, not using this
        }
        });

Heiko Rupp's code is the best option for this problem. The only thing you should do is implement onScrollListener and in onScroll() just check if there is an end of list by using the code

boolean loadMore =  firstVisibleItem + visibleItemCount >= totalItemCount-1;

if true load your data with regular fashion..

thaks Heiko Rupp for this snippet :)

I had this issue when I was accidentally trying to update a view from a non-ui thread. Pushing the ui update code to the ui thread resolved my issue!

Handler mainHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
mainHandler.post(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
            // insert ui update code here
        }
    }
});
