Detecting the scrolling direction in the adapter (up/down)

Question

I am trying to mimic the Google Plus application in my project, as it seems to be the reference now.

The listview effect when scrolling is really nice and I would li

Answer 1

I ended up by doing this:

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    Log.i("",position+" - "+lastposition);

    if (position >= lastposition)
        animation = new TranslateAnimation(Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF,
                0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.0f,
                Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 1.0f,
                Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.0f);
    else
        animation = new TranslateAnimation(Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF,
                0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.0f,
                Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, -1.0f,
                Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.0f);

    animation.setDuration(600);
    set.addAnimation(animation);

    row.startAnimation(set);

    lastposition = position;

}

Try this . I hope it helps you . Logic From @Gal Rom Answer .

lv.setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener() {
        private int mLastFirstVisibleItem;

        @Override
        public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
                int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {

            if(mLastFirstVisibleItem<firstVisibleItem)
            {
                Log.i("SCROLLING DOWN","TRUE");
            }
            if(mLastFirstVisibleItem>firstVisibleItem)
            {
                Log.i("SCROLLING UP","TRUE");
            }
            mLastFirstVisibleItem=firstVisibleItem;

        }
    });

list.setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener() {
        int last_item;
        @Override
        public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
                int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
            if(last_item<firstVisibleItem+visibleItemCount-1){
                System.out.println("List is scrolling upwards");
            }
            else if(last_item>firstVisibleItem+visibleItemCount-1){
                System.out.println("List is scrolling downwards");
            }
             last_item = firstVisibleItem+visibleItemCount-1;
        }
    });

Based on the position of the last visible item i decide whether Listview is going up or down.

Here's my approach: It gets you more immediate feedback on how much you've scrolled: OnScroll, you can just get the Top position of the first item in your list. It's a pretty reliable to get actual scroll position information immediately.

listView.getChildAt(0).getTop()

General solution that doesn't rely on positions of views/etc. Just check the vertical scroll offset and compare it to the previous scroll offset. If the new value is greater than the old the user is scrolling down, and vice-versa.

// [START check vertical scroll direction]
int oldScrollOffset = 0;

listView.setOnScrollChangeListener(new View.OnScrollChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onScrollChange(View view, int i, int i1, int i2, int i3) {

            Boolean scrollDirectionDown;

            int newScrollOffset = listView.computeVerticalScrollOffset();

            if (newScrollOffset > oldScrollOffset) {
                scrollDirectionDown = true;
            } else {
                scrollDirectionDown = false;
            }

            oldScrollOffset = newScrollOffset;

            if (scrollDirectionDown) {
                // Update accordingly for scrolling down
                Log.d(TAG, "scrolling down");
            } else {
                // Update accordingly for scrolling up
                Log.d(TAG, "scrolling up");
            }

    });
// [END check vertical scroll direction]

I've used this much simpler solution:

public class ScrollDetectingListView extends ListView

...

setOnScrollListener( new OnScrollListener() 
{

    private int mInitialScroll = 0;

    @Override
    public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
            int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) 
    {
        int scrolledOffset = computeVerticalScrollOffset();

        boolean scrollUp = scrolledOffset > mInitialScroll;
        mInitialScroll = scrolledOffset;
    }


    @Override
    public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {


    }

}
