I have a ListView with about 100 entries. When the user does the "fling" from bottom to top it starts scrolling and keeps on scrolling even when the finger does not touch the display any more.
Is there a way to stop the scrolling animation at this point?
Well there surely is a way to do it. But the point is more whether or not it is advisable to do it, in my opinion.
The list is a standard Android control that behaves constistently across all applications. So I would be surprised if I found a list that did not behave the same in your application. You can stop the fling by putting your finger back on the screen at any time.
That said, if you want to do extra work, you could subclass the list view and override its on touch method. Best way to know what to do is to get the source code of ListView (ListView in Android 1.6).
