Implement how the items in a list view to display. By default listview items are displayed from top and if I want to implement a chat app with listview items in the list should be updated from the bottom of the list view. In android for a list view stack from bottom can be applied by setting - android:stackFromBottom="true" (an example I found on android: http://gmariotti.blogspot.in/2013/07/quick-tips-for-listview-build-layout.html ). But in my research this is not possible in JavaFX.
