Question

I want to implement functionality where a listview loads a set number of views, but at the end of the scrolling it has a spinner in that view, while it loads more views

the official android twitter app has something like this, where it shows you old messages from your timeline but at the bottom of the list it will load more after running a spinner. you can still scroll up and down while this thread is happening without breaking anything

how would this be done? insight appreciated

Answer 1

i think by spinner u mean blocking screen ?
anyways what u need is pretty common, just search for listview implementation in android
here is one of the link i still had:
