Question

I would like to update my list in android with new entries added or removed but when i use setListAdapter my list jumps back to the first entry… How would i update my list so it’s position sticks on the same place in the list?

This question is very much alike the one that was resolved here: Android – list returns to top after update

By setting the adapter again instead of working with the adapter itself you reset the position of the list.

Try working with the adapter itself instead of the datasourse directly.

adapter.clear();
adapter.add(Item item);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
