Question

The code which is used. I want the list to load once in the beginning, and then load data on subsequent scrolls..

public class ViewPage extends ListActivity{

ListView lv;
ListAdapter ld;
int size=7;
String filename[] = new String[size];
Cursor contactcursor;
ArrayAdapter<String> arr_ad;
int contact_column_index;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.mylist);

    for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
        filename[i]=new String();


    String[] proj = { ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME };
    contactcursor = managedQuery(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, proj, null, null, null);
    contact_column_index = contactcursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
    lv = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
    contactcursor.moveToFirst();
        for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
        {
            filename[i] = contactcursor.getString(contact_column_index);
            Toast.makeText(ViewPage.this, filename[i] +" ok "+ contactcursor.getString(contact_column_index) , 1).show();
            if(!contactcursor.moveToNext())
                break;
        }
        arr_ad = new ArrayAdapter<String>(ViewPage.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, filename);
        setListAdapter(arr_ad);
        lv.setOnScrollListener(new EndlessScrollListener());
}

public class EndlessScrollListener implements OnScrollListener {

private int visibleThreshold = size;
private int currentPage = 0;
private int previousTotal = 0;
private boolean loading = true;

public EndlessScrollListener() 
{

}

public EndlessScrollListener(int visibleThreshold) 
{
    this.visibleThreshold = visibleThreshold;
}

@Override
public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
        int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Toast.makeText(ViewPage.this, "In" , 1).show();
     if (loading) 
     {
         if (totalItemCount > previousTotal) 
         {
            loading = false;
            previousTotal = totalItemCount;
            currentPage++;
         }
     }
     if (!loading && (totalItemCount - visibleItemCount) <= (firstVisibleItem + visibleThreshold)) 
     { 


            for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
            {
                filename[i] = contactcursor.getString(contact_column_index);
                Toast.makeText(ViewPage.this, filename[i] +" "+ contactcursor.getString(contact_column_index) , 1).show();
                arr_ad.add(filename[i]);
                if(!contactcursor.moveToNext())
                    break;

            }

            arr_ad.notifyDataSetChanged();
            //arr_ad = new ArrayAdapter<String>(ViewPage.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, filename);


            //setListAdapter(arr_ad);

            loading = true;
            Toast.makeText(ViewPage.this,totalItemCount+" "+visibleItemCount+" "+firstVisibleItem+" "+visibleThreshold+" ", 1).show();
     }
}

@Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

}
}

It shows error in line 98 which is arr_ad.add(filename[i]); and says that the operation is not supported. Could anyone help please! Thanx in advance.

If you want to use add method of ArrayAdapter, you must give List<String> object (not String[]) in the constructor.
