Android - how to update LIstView item that is currently displayed

Question

I have list of items ion my activity which I load dynamically, item after item. Initially I load "lightweight" version and when processing is done I want to update the item with new information. Like set some text or replace an image. That means I need to update what ListView item is displaying after Adapter#getView already returns. Of course I don't know if user is actively scrolling and this item is still visible or has been scrolled out ot view. The only thing I can think of is to extend View so it performs some operations on it's own thread and updates itself when done,but will it work? Thanks for your suggestions
