The quick and incorrect approach would be starting these growing animations from your ListAdapter's getView method. Right before you return the convertView you'd start the animation object on that view.
However, there is a problem with that animation approach because ListViews lays out its child views (items) and determines their positions. So using an Animation object for transforming the height of an item (grow animation) would not affect the other list items. They would statically remain in their locations and your new item that slides in will just grow into a gap that is exactly that item's full size. Following solution ideas: - You override ListView and add some layout animation behavior that does what you need - Animate the height of your added item using a Timer object. Trigger re-layouts of the ListView in order to align the other child views accordingly. (However, I don't know whether you'll need to constantly invalidate your listadapter in order to make that work. This might turn out to be a pretty wasteful approach!)
