Android: Is it possible to refresh just one item in a listview?

Question

I'm wondering if it is possible to rerender just one element in a listview? I assume by calling notifyDatasetChanged() is gonna rerender the whole list?

Thanks,

You can, but it's a bit convoluted. You would have to get the index of the first visible item in the list and then use that do decide how how far down in the list of visual items the item is that needs updated, then grab its view and update it there.

It's much easier to just call notifyDatasetChanged().
