Find out if ListView is scrolled to the bottom?

Can I find out if my ListView is scrolled to the bottom? By that I mean that the last item is fully visible.


Solution 1:

Edited:

Since I have been investigating in this particular subject in one of my applications, I can write an extended answer for future readers of this question.

Implement an OnScrollListener, set your ListView's onScrollListener and then you should be able to handle things correctly.

For example:

private int preLast;
// Initialization stuff.
yourListView.setOnScrollListener(this);

// ... ... ...

@Override
public void onScroll(AbsListView lw, final int firstVisibleItem,
        final int visibleItemCount, final int totalItemCount)
{

    switch(lw.getId()) 
    {
        case R.id.your_list_id:     

            // Make your calculation stuff here. You have all your
            // needed info from the parameters of this function.

            // Sample calculation to determine if the last 
            // item is fully visible.
            final int lastItem = firstVisibleItem + visibleItemCount;

            if(lastItem == totalItemCount)
            {
                if(preLast!=lastItem)
                {
                    //to avoid multiple calls for last item
                    Log.d("Last", "Last");
                    preLast = lastItem;
                }
            }
    }
}

Solution 2:

Late answer, but if you simply wish to check whether your ListView is scrolled all the way down or not, without creating an event listener, you can use this if-statement:

if (yourListView.getLastVisiblePosition() == yourListView.getAdapter().getCount() -1 &&
    yourListView.getChildAt(yourListView.getChildCount() - 1).getBottom() <= yourListView.getHeight())
{
    //It is scrolled all the way down here

}

First it checks if the last possible position is in view. Then it checks if the bottom of the last button aligns with the bottom of the ListView. You can do something similar to know if it's all the way at the top:

if (yourListView.getFirstVisiblePosition() == 0 &&
    yourListView.getChildAt(0).getTop() >= 0)
{
    //It is scrolled all the way up here

}

Solution 3:

The way I did it:

listView.setOnScrollListener(new AbsListView.OnScrollListener() {

    @Override
    public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {
        if (scrollState == AbsListView.OnScrollListener.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE 
            && (listView.getLastVisiblePosition() - listView.getHeaderViewsCount() -
            listView.getFooterViewsCount()) >= (adapter.getCount() - 1)) {

        // Now your listview has hit the bottom
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem, int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {

    }
});

Solution 4:

Something to the effect of:

if (getListView().getLastVisiblePosition() == (adapter.items.size() - 1))

Solution 5:

public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState)        
{
    if (!view.canScrollList(View.SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL) && scrollState == SCROLL_STATE_IDLE)    
    {
        //When List reaches bottom and the list isn't moving (is idle)
    }
}

This worked for me.
