Question

Currently am working on a project where text messages from a particular person is stored and displayed. Am using customized list view for displaying the stored messages. Till this part my code is fine. But i need to update my list view when a new messages arrives when the activity is on foreground. Unfortunately the list view only updates the new message when the activity goes to onCreate() method again. I need to update the listview if it is on foreground. Any ideas…..???

Keep your refresh code in onResume() instead of putting it in onCreate().
On every time you get the new message call adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() method to update the layout
