Thanks Romain.. it seems that all I really needed was the name of the OnScrollListener to find everything I needed... and embarrass myself a little.
I have the apiDemos in my workspace so when I need examples I usually just search the entire workspace for the Class name I'm interested in, and of course found lots of examples... including a test program I wrote early on when testing Android, which gave me all the code I needed :). Just goes to show that programming is for young guys with good memories, and maybe old people like me should do something else ;).

You can use the OnScrollListener to find out when a ListView starts/stops scrolling and you can use getFirstVisiblePosition() and getChildCount() to figure out what items are currently showing.
