    copied!<p>-- Update, after looking more into documentation I think you still could use ArrayAdapter --</p> <p>So if you look at the documentation for <a href="http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-listview.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">listview</a> you see</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;resources&gt; &lt;string-array name="countries_array"&gt; &lt;item&gt;Bahrain&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;Bangladesh&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;Barbados&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;Belarus&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;Belgium&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;Belize&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;Benin&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/string-array&gt; &lt;/resources&gt; </code></pre> <p>and to load those you use:</p> <pre><code>setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;(this, R.layout.list_item, countries)); </code></pre> <p>The problem here is you have to deal with figuring out when they get to the end of the list and how to load more data without blocking the UI.</p> <p>Thus, to save yourself a lot of headache, I recommend using <a href="https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-endless" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Commonsware Endless Adapter</a> Do so like this:</p> <pre><code>import android.app.ListActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.os.SystemClock; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import com.commonsware.cwac.endless.EndlessAdapter; import java.util.ArrayList; public class YourListActivity extends ListActivity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle state) { super.onCreate(state); setContentView(R.layout.main); String[] countries = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.countries_array); setListAdapter(new YourAdapter(countries)); } class YourAdapter extends EndlessAdapter { public YourAdapter(String[] list) { super(new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;(YourAdapter.this, R.layout.row, android.R.id.text1, list)); } @Override protected View getPendingView(ViewGroup parent) { View row=getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.row, null); return row.findViewById(android.R.id.text1); } @Override protected boolean cacheInBackground() { SystemClock.sleep(10000); // pretend to do work //put logic here to fetch the data //this happens in the background so you can't do anything with the UI //return whether or not you have more data, true if you do false otherwise. boolean haveMoreData = true;//this up to you to figure out return haveMoreData; } @Override protected void appendCachedData() { //here is where you do the work to actually add the data obtained in cacheInBackground to the ArrayAdapter ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt; a=(ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;)getWrappedAdapter(); for (int i=0;i&lt;25;i++) { a.add(a.getCount()); } } } } } </code></pre> <p>here is another question that looks similar to your own on here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1080811/android-endless-list">Android Endless List</a></p> <p>-- Update: How to add multiple string arrays to an adapter -- There are multiple ways to do this, the most simple way would probably be to use the adapters add method..</p> <p>Look at this: <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ArrayAdapter.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ArrayAdapter.html</a> and see the method add. Currently you have a variable named adapter:</p> <pre><code>ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt; adapter = new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, get_msgList); </code></pre> <p>Whenever you want to add more data to that adapter just call:</p> <pre><code> adapter.add("Some new data"); </code></pre> <p>So if you had another String[] array of data and you wanted to add all of it to the current adapter, just use:</p> <pre><code> String[] someNewData = getStringArray();//no idea how you are getting the array, this is just an example for (String s : someNewData) { adapter.add(s); } </code></pre> <p>After you've added the new data you may need to call adapter.notifyDataSetChanged but I'm not sure (it may happen for you).. I would try it first without it and see if everything works as expected and if not add it.</p> <p>Now one thing you will probably want to do is either make the adapter variable an instance variable of your class so you can use it anywhere in the class.</p>
