ListView scroll up for refresh, scroll down to add new items to the list

Question

Right now I have a Listview that stores 25 items, which are retrieved from an API. What I want is that the ListView refreshes on scroll up (retreive data from api call again). And add another 25 items on scroll down.

What could I use for this? I found SwipeRefreshLayout, However, I can't find a way to distinguish scroll up and scroll down.

You should use pagination here. Try RecyclerView instead of ListView and add OnPageScrollListener, whenever the page get scrolled, you will need to call the api again. — Ankit Mehta, Dec 23 '17 at 06:42

I think your question is little bit misleading.If i am not wrong, here can be to thing.

Reload List on Over Scroll Down :- This functionality can be achieve by using SwipeRefreshLayout. Follow the android tutorial for Adding Swipe-to-Refresh To Your App.
Load more items on Over Scroll Up:- This is the part of Lay loading(Pagination) . If you are using ListViewthen you can use OnScrollListener and setFooterView() to make it done . Have a look at This thread.

Suggestion:- A simple suggestion Use RecyclerView instead of ListView to make better use of ViewHolder pattern.

I can't seem to use new OnScrollListener in C# what i'm missing? — Bug Slayer, Dec 23 '17 at 08:16

Use RecyclerView instead of ListVIew. Initialize the RecyclerView as follows :

RecyclerView Initialization :

layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
videosAdapter = new VideosAdapter();
recyclerView.setItemAnimator(new SlideInUpAnimator());
recyclerView.setAdapter(videosAdapter);

// Pagination
recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(recyclerViewOnScrollListener);

Now setup OnScrollListener :

private RecyclerView.OnScrollListener recyclerViewOnScrollListener = new 
RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
@Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
    super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
}

@Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
    super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
    int visibleItemCount = layoutManager.getChildCount();
    int totalItemCount = layoutManager.getItemCount();
    int firstVisibleItemPosition = layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();

    if (!isLoading && !isLastPage) {
        if ((visibleItemCount + firstVisibleItemPosition) >= totalItemCount
                && firstVisibleItemPosition >= 0
                && totalItemCount >= PAGE_SIZE) {
            loadMoreItems();
        }
    }
}
};

Once you get the response you need to add the received data to the list again.

ListView scroll up for refresh, scroll down to add new items to the list
