every time when I call notifyDataSetChanged() on my adapter the listview displayes the last item in the adapter array. Is there any possible way to scroll the listview to the top off screen, since the setSelection(n) method within the post runnable is noticable, because the listview jumps to the bottom and then to the top. This movement can be seen on the screen unfortunately.
Thanks in advance.
When you call notifyDataSetChanged(), you're telling the ListView to refresh its contents, and it will actually try not to scroll if possible. It knows what it's currently scrolled to based on the items' positions and ids that it has obtained from the adapter. Your issue may be that your adapter is giving out inconsistent ids from getItemId that are confusing the ListView, causing it to scroll unnecessarily. Can you explain a little more about what your code is doing at the time you call notifyDataSetChanged()? Are you adding or removing items in the adapter at the same time?
