I don't have a solution but since you got no answer yet, I wanted to inform you that I used the native ListView class and it worked like a charm !

Easy to implement and I haven't heard about any other way to do so with Andengine yet (there might be though). This only is a return of experience, hope it helps !

Did you extends to the android activity class or how did you do this? ;) – Tobias Jun 16 '14 at 15:32
I don't remember if I extended of if I used a ListActivity, if none of them work for you I'll look for that when back home on my Pc – Kevin Gilles Jun 16 '14 at 15:39

Here is a tutorial that will demonstrate how to create, add and update ListViews:

After practicing the concepts in the tutorial, please keep in mind that every row in a list (a separate view) is recycled - while you do not need to inflate it again, you do need to ensure that you set/selete/update any and all information on it, otherwise you get funky bugs. Hope this helps.

You can use the approach from Google Play Game Services.

Your game activity can extend AndEngine's BaseGameActivity. The leader-board activity can extend a normal ListActivity.

In your game start the leaderboards activity with startActivityForResutl. When the user is done, he just goes back to your game activity.
