Add new items to top of list view on Android?

Question

Android has the transcript mode to allow to automatically scroll a list view to the bottom when new data is added to the adapter.

Can this be somehow reversed so tha

Answer 1

instead of this:

items.add(edittext.getText().toString());
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

you should try that (works for me):

listview.post(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                items.add(0, edittext.getText().toString());
                adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                listview.smoothScrollToPosition(0);
            }
            });
