Android - Adding and showing items to ListView one at a time using an ArrayAdapter?
Android's UI is single-threaded. You are not giving control back to Android from the main application thread each time you add an entry to the adapter. Hence, Android does not get a chance to display your entries until you return control, and you're not doing that until you have populated your adapter in its entirety Here is an example showing the use of an AsyncTask to fill an ArrayAdapter progressively via a background thread.

I'm using an ArrayAdapter to add items to a custom ListView and showing the results in my Android app. The problem I'm having is that the ArrayAdapter seems to wait until all items are in it before it shows the view. That is to say, when I'm adding the items to the ArrayAdapter and I call notifyDataSetChanged, it does not update the ListView to show the added item.
It waits until all items are added and GetView is called before showing the items. What I would like it to do is to show the item immediately after adding it to the ListView. Is this possible?
As you can see, even though I am calling notifyDataSetChanged after the add method, it does not actually update the view.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
