Answer 1

Actually, if you bind your adapter to your ListView, you can also just insert the item into your adapter with the position (in this case 0)

list.setAdapter(adapter);

...

adapter.insert(data, 0);

It shoudl update by itself because you had it bound

Answer 2

Use add(int index, E object). Where index = 0.
