Answer 1

My answer is for Firebase and position 0 is a workaround

Parcelable state;

DatabaseReference everybody = db.getReference("Everybody Room List");
    everybody.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
            state = listView.onSaveInstanceState(); // Save
            progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            arrayList.clear();
            for (DataSnapshot messageSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
                Messages messagesSpacecraft = messageSnapshot.getValue(Messages.class);
                arrayList.add(messagesSpacecraft);
            }
            listView.setAdapter(convertView);
            listView.onRestoreInstanceState(state); // Restore
        }

        @Override
        public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
        }
    });

and convertView

position 0 a add a blank item that you are not using

public class Chat_ConvertView_List_Room extends BaseAdapter {

private ArrayList spacecrafts;
private Context context;

@SuppressLint("CommitPrefEdits")
Chat_ConvertView_List_Room(Context context, ArrayList spacecrafts) {
    this.context = context;
    this.spacecrafts = spacecrafts;
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return spacecrafts.size();
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    return spacecrafts.get(position);
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    return position;
}

@SuppressLint({"SetTextI18n", "SimpleDateFormat"})
@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    if (convertView == null) {
        convertView = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.message_model_list_room, parent, false);
    }

    final Messages s = (Messages) this.getItem(position);

    if (position == 0) {
        convertView.getLayoutParams().height = 1; // 0 does not work
    } else {
        convertView.getLayoutParams().height = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
    }

    return convertView;
}
}

I have seen this work temporarily without disturbing the user, I hope it works for you
