Reverse image load order?

Question

First Question

I use http://stackoverflow.com/questions/541966/android-how-do-i-do-a-lazy-load-of-images-in-listview/3068012#3068012 to load images in a ListView and a GridView. It works but the images are loaded form bpttom to top. How to fix that?

Bonus Question

Can I use a loading animation in a image view while the real image is loaded? Right now it's just a default image.

Answer 1

In ImageLoader.java you could replace

photoToLoad=photosQueue.photosToLoad.pop();

with

photoToLoad=photosQueue.photosToLoad.get(0);
photosQueue.photosToLoad.remove(photoToLoad);

It will change the order.

To display ProgressBar you can just add it to item.xml. Initially ProgressBar is visible and image is hidden. After bitmap is downloaded you hide ProgressBar and show image. But I would not recommend doing that. While images are being decoded in the background they consume processor power and all your progress bars may be freezing sometimes.
