title: Updated views in list item don't stay updated when scrolling through listview[IMG + SOURCE]
body: <p><strong>The short version of my question:</strong> If I have a listview where each item has a button and that button causes a textview on that listitem to be updated, how do I make changes I make to the list row from a onClickListener in getView permanent?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Detailed description of problem:</strong> I have a listview and that listview has a "bump" button (equivalent to a "like" button on Facebook) and when a user presses this like button 3 things happen:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>A async request is made to my api which records the "bump" by adding a record to one of my db tables. If the request is successful the api issues a response with 2 fields ( is_bumped(boolean) &amp; bump_count(int)  )   </li>
  <li>If the api request was successful then we grab bumpCount from the response and use it to update the bumpTv to reflect the new total number of times that list item has been "bumped".... example: "3 Bumps" </li>
  <li>If the API request was successful and isBumped=true then we update the image resource to a version of my bump icon that looks selected/pressed.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>All of this works just fine at first glance, but if you "bump" a list item and then scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and then back to the top, the list item you just bumped will no longer appear to be bumped unless you refresh the entire activity. I know this has to have something to do with the data that I bind to the adapter not being updated, but how do I go about updating without refreshing the entire update?</p>

  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> After taking the advice in the comments i was sure my list would begin functioning the way I had intended it to , but it only opened up a whole new can of hell....now for some reason if a user clicks the "bump" button anywhere in the first 6 items it works just fine, but beyond that something weird starts happening. when a user hits the bump button on one of the list items below the first 6 items it sends the wrong position and its a position somewhere between 0 and 6 ?!?!?</p>
