This is driving me crazy! I have two applications with this problem, and I'm about to give up. I'm out of ideas.
In these applications, I've constructed a pattern for the ListView very similar to the Gmail app. I'm fetching information from the server in small sets, and when a user scrolls down to the last ListView position, he sees a download progress row. If something goes wrong, that download row switches to an error row with an error message and a button to retry the network request. When the data set is retrieved, the ListView is updated at the bottom with the new data set. The download view and the error view are done with ListView footers. So far, so good. It works greak. The problem is when the user clicks an item in the ListView in order to go to another Activity. When he comes back the the ListView, it resets the ListView, so that the first visible position is always the first item of the ListView. If I remove all the footer code, then it works as expected, and the ListView remembers it's position when it comes back. I use the getFirstVisiblePosition() and the setSelection() to workaround this, although it's ugly because the ListView always shifts a little. But even these are buggy and sometimes (about 5% of the times) the getFirstVisiblePosition() returns 0. This just adds to the frustration. I'm about to give up on footers and eradicate them of my Android vocabulary and stick with the Window title indeterminate progress. But... how does the Gmail app does it?! Does any one have an idea? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
