Android-Infinite-Scroll-Listview

This project aims to provide a reusable listview widget with infinite scrolling capability for asynchronous data loading and displaying.

Features

• Users scroll up to top or down to bottom of the listview widget to load more data
• Upon data loading finishes, listview widget automatically scrolls to the top/bottom, or stays where it was
• Self-explanatory demo code

Support Android API Level 8+

Quick Setup

1. Include library

Manual:

• Download library from https://github.com/weixiao1984/Android-Infinite-Scroll-Listview/tree/master/library
• Import the library as an existing Android code into workspace
• In Properties for your project, add the imported project as a library

2. Adapter class

• Create an adapter which extends InfiniteScrollListAdapter
• Inside the adapter create an interface or abstract class so later actions in the view can be propagated to the customized adapter

public static abstract class NewPageListener {
	public abstract void onScrollNext();
	public abstract View getInfiniteScrollListView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent);
}

@Override
protected void onScrollNext() {
	if (newPageListener != null) {
		newPageListener.onScrollNext();
	}
}

@Override
public View getInfiniteScrollListView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
	if (newPageListener != null) {
		return newPageListener.getInfiniteScrollListView(position, convertView, parent);
	}
	return convertView;
}

3. Activity class

1. Loading Mode

• Either the list view scrolls to the top or the bottom
• Use setLoadingMode(LoadingMode loadingMode) to specify one of the following two loading modes

enum LoadingMode {SCROLL_TO_TOP, SCROLL_TO_BOTTOM};

2. Stop Position

• When the data loading finishes, stop position determines weather the list view should automatically scroll up to the start of the list,
• scroll down to the end of the list, or remains where it was
• Use setStopPosition(StopPosition stopPosition) to specify one of the following three stop positions

enum StopPosition {START_OF_LIST, END_OF_LIST, REMAIN_UNCHANGED}

3. Use AsyncTask or IntentService to process your data, as shown in the demo code https://github.com/weixiao1984/Android-Infinite-Scroll-Listview/tree/master/demo
