Android's ArrayAdapter - add strings listview instead of replace

Question

This is how I add an array to listview:

ListView my_listview = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter&         


        

Answer 1

You need to be using an ArrayList<String> my_array rather than a String[] my_array and then you can do:

my_array.addAll(other_array);

to add elements from a new array to your array. Then you can do:

adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

to update your ListView with the new elements.
