Android - list returns to top after update

Answer 1

I think the preferred way is to update the adapter itself and not to replace it. Maybe you can write a method that merges the new and old data using the adapters insert() and remove() methods. I think that should keep your position.

Added Information:

I use the following as basic structure. Maybe it helps.

public class PlaylistAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Playlist> {

    private ArrayList<Playlist> items;

    public PlaylistAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, ArrayList<Playlist> items) {
        super(context, textViewResourceId, items);
        this.items = items;
    }

}
