How to trigger an event when scrollView reach the bottom with Android?

Question

Im looking for an event that I can use on the scrollView to be fired when the user has scrolled to the bottom.

E.g my list of items should be extended with more item

Answer 1

Please read this article: Android: Understanding When Scrollview Has Reached The Bottom

Source code:

@Override
protected void onScrollChanged(int l, int t, int oldl, int oldt) 
{
    // Grab the last child placed in the ScrollView, we need it to determinate the bottom position.
    View view = (View) getChildAt(getChildCount()-1);

    // Calculate the scrolldiff
    int diff = (view.getBottom()-(getHeight()+getScrollY()));

    // if diff is zero, then the bottom has been reached
    if( diff == 0 )
    {
        // notify that we have reached the bottom
        Log.d(ScrollTest.LOG_TAG, "MyScrollView: Bottom has been reached" );
    }

    super.onScrollChanged(l, t, oldl, oldt);
}

If you want you can add make a custom widget.

Example:

package se.marteinn.ui;

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ScrollView;

        if (diff == 0 && mListener != null) {

        super.onScrollChanged(l, t, oldl, oldt);

    // Getters & Setters

    public OnBottomReachedListener getOnBottomReachedListener() {
        return mListener;
    }

    public void setOnBottomReachedListener(
