How to set the focus on the last element in a list view in android

Question

I am loading elements in a ListView at runtime and asking user if he wants to load more elements on a button click.What i want to achieve is that the focus should be on the last element of the listview and not on the first element.

Answer 1

If you want to show the list view from the bottom use below thing .

ListView

android:stackFromBottom="true" />

Its working for me.

Answer 2

You need to use these parameters in your list view:

Scroll lv.setTranscriptMode(ListView.TRANSCRIPT_MODE_ALWAYS_SCROLL);

Set the head of the list to its bottom lv.setStackFromBottom(true);

You can also set these parameters in XML, eg. like this:

ListView
...
android:transcriptMode="alwaysScroll"
android:stackFromBottom="true" />
