You can achieve by adding the scrolllistener on listview and check condition if list last visible item is last in ArrayList then call the asynctask with incremented page number and update the listview,mean while add the view on listview and after getting the result from server remove the loading more view from the listview like this -
AndroidListViewLoadMoreActivity.java
public class AndroidListViewLoadMoreActivity extends Activity {
ArrayList<Country> countryList;
MyCustomAdapter dataAdapter = null;
int page = 0;
boolean loadingMore = false;
View loadMoreView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
loadMoreView = ((LayoutInflater)this
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE))
.inflate(R.layout.loadmore, null, false);
listView.addFooterView(loadMoreView);
//create an ArrayAdaptar from the String Array
countryList = new ArrayList<Country>();
dataAdapter = new MyCustomAdapter(this,
R.layout.country_info, countryList);
listView.setAdapter(dataAdapter);
//enables filtering for the contents of the given ListView
listView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
Country country = (Country) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
country.getCode(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
listView.setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener(){
@Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {}
@Override
public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
int lastInScreen = firstVisibleItem + visibleItemCount;
if((lastInScreen == totalItemCount) && !(loadingMore)){

}
}

grabURL(url);
}
public void grabURL(String url) {
Log.v("Android Spinner JSON Data Activity", url);
new GrabURL().execute(url);
}
private class GrabURL extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
private static final int REGISTRATION_TIMEOUT = 3 * 1000;
private static final int WAIT_TIMEOUT = 30 * 1000;
private final HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
final HttpParams params = httpclient.getParams();
HttpResponse response;
private String content = null;
private boolean error = false;

Make MyCustomAdapter.java as adapter
private class MyCustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Country> {
private ArrayList<Country> countryList;
public MyCustomAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId,
ArrayList<Country> countryList) {
super(context, textViewResourceId, countryList);
this.countryList = new ArrayList<Country>();
this.countryList.addAll(countryList);
}
private class ViewHolder {
TextView code;
TextView name;
TextView continent;
TextView region;
}
public void add(Country country){
Log.v("AddView", country.getCode());
this.countryList.add(country);
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder = null;
Log.v("ConvertView", String.valueOf(position));
if (convertView == null) {
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(
Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
convertView = vi.inflate(R.layout.country_info, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.code = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.code);
holder.name = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.name);
holder.continent = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.continent);
holder.region = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.region);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
Country country = this.countryList.get(position);
holder.code.setText(country.getCode());
holder.name.setText(country.getName());
holder.continent.setText(country.getContinent());
holder.region.setText(country.getRegion());
return convertView;
}
}
}
Create Country.Java as pojo -
public class Country {
String code = null;
String name = null;
String continent = null;
String region = null;
Double lifeExpectancy = null;
Double gnp = null;
Double surfaceArea = null;
int population = 0;
public String getCode() {
return code;
}
public void setCode(String code) {
this.code = code;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getContinent() {
return continent;
}
public void setContinent(String continent) {
this.continent = continent;
}
public String getRegion() {
return region;
}
public void setRegion(String region) {
this.region = region;
}
public Double getLifeExpectancy() {
return lifeExpectancy;
}
public void setLifeExpectancy(Double lifeExpectancy) {
this.lifeExpectancy = lifeExpectancy;
}
public Double getGnp() {
return gnp;
}
public void setGnp(Double gnp) {
this.gnp = gnp;
}
public Double getSurfaceArea() {
return surfaceArea;
}
public void setSurfaceArea(Double surfaceArea) {
this.surfaceArea = surfaceArea;
}
public int getPopulation() {
return population;
}
public void setPopulation(int population) {
this.population = population;
}
}

OnScrollListener
that will kick off yourAsyncTask
to go fetch more documents when the user gets to the bottom of the page, correct? Are these new documents going to be appended to the bottom of yourListView
? – MarvenRecyclerView
. Google forRecyclerView
endless list, or something. Here's a hit: android-pratap.blogspot.ro/2015/01/… And have a counter inside your scroller, so each time you hit the end of your results, you increase your counter... so you know on which page you are. – DataListView
in aScrollView
would work, but yourListView
already supportsOnScrollListener
so that's an easier way to go. – Marven
