ListView with first visible item having different layout

Question

How can I make the first visible element of the ListView having a different layout from the others.

I have created a custom adapter with 2 different layouts. Now, how can I make the layout change when the item comes in the first position?

Answer 1

to get the the first item of the listview having a different layout the following code can be used. But the listview don't move when the items in the list are less than the no of visible items.

list.setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener() {

        @Override
        public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }

        @Override
        public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
                int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            if(firstItem != firstVisibleItem)
            {
                firstItem = firstVisibleItem;
                adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            }
        }
    });

and inside the adapter class check if the postion is same as firstItem if its equal then show the detals layout.

Answer 2

Try this

int visibleposition = ListView.getFirstVisiblePosition();

now for this particular position change the background of the list item like this
