I'm trying to implement an endless scrolling to top where I would load more data when the user is getting close to the top of the listview (like in a messenger app). I have a scroll to bottom class which works fine, but I don't manage to find a library or modify this code to detect the scroll to top. Could anybody help?
Here is the class :
public abstract class EndlessScrollListener implements AbsListView.OnScrollListener {
// The minimum amount of items to have below your current scroll position
// before loading more.
private int visibleThreshold = 5;
// The current offset index of data you have loaded
private int currentPage = 0;
// The total number of items in the dataset after the last load
private int previousTotalItemCount = 0;
// True if we are still waiting for the last set of data to load.
private boolean loading = true;
// Sets the starting page index
private int startingPageIndex = 0;
public EndlessScrollListener() {
}
public EndlessScrollListener(int visibleThreshold) {
this.visibleThreshold = visibleThreshold;
}
public EndlessScrollListener(int visibleThreshold, int startPage) {
this.visibleThreshold = visibleThreshold;
this.startingPageIndex = startPage;
this.currentPage = startPage;
}
// This happens many times a second during a scroll, so be wary of the code you place here.
// We are given a few useful parameters to help us work out if we need to load some more data,
// but first we check if we are waiting for the previous load to finish.
@Override
public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem, int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount)
{
// If the total item count is zero and the previous isn't, assume the
// list is invalidated and should be reset back to initial state
if (totalItemCount < previousTotalItemCount) {
this.currentPage = this.startingPageIndex;
this.previousTotalItemCount = totalItemCount;
if (totalItemCount == 0) { this.loading = true; }
}
// If it’s still loading, we check to see if the dataset count has
// changed, if so we conclude it has finished loading and update the current page
// number and total item count.
if (loading && (totalItemCount > previousTotalItemCount)) {
loading = false;
previousTotalItemCount = totalItemCount;
currentPage++;
}
// If it isn’t currently loading, we check to see if we have breached
// the visibleThreshold and need to reload more data.
// If we do need to reload some more data, we execute onLoadMore to fetch the data.
if (!loading && (totalItemCount - visibleItemCount)<=(firstVisibleItem + visibleThreshold)) {
onLoadMore(currentPage + 1, totalItemCount);
loading = true;
}
}
// Defines the process for actually loading more data based on page
public abstract void onLoadMore(int page, int totalItemsCount);
@Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {
// Don't take any action on changed
}
}
I made some modification to your class, adding a parameter to decide the direction setScrollDirection by default it will be SCROLL_DIRECTION_DOWN please test it and let me know how it works :)
public abstract class EndlessScrollListener implements AbsListView.OnScrollListener {
public final static int SCROLL_DIRECTION_UP = 0;
public final static int SCROLL_DIRECTION_DOWN = 1;
// The minimum amount of items to have below your current scroll position
// before loading more.
private int visibleThreshold = 5;
// The current offset index of data you have loaded
private int currentPage = 0;
// The total number of items in the dataset after the last load
private int previousTotalItemCount = 0;
// True if we are still waiting for the last set of data to load.
private boolean loading = true;
// Sets the starting page index
private int startingPageIndex = 0;
private int scrollDirection = SCROLL_DIRECTION_DOWN;
public EndlessScrollListener() {
}
public EndlessScrollListener(int visibleThreshold) {
this.visibleThreshold = visibleThreshold;
}
public EndlessScrollListener(int visibleThreshold, int startPage) {
this.visibleThreshold = visibleThreshold;
this.startingPageIndex = startPage;
this.currentPage = startPage;
}
// This happens many times a second during a scroll, so be wary of the code you place here.
// We are given a few useful parameters to help us work out if we need to load some more data,
// but first we check if we are waiting for the previous load to finish.
