import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.AbsListView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.ScrollView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   ScrollView scrollView;
   ListView listView;
   String[] numbers = {"1","2","3","4", "5","6","7","8", "9", "X", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20" , "21", "22", "23", "24", "25"};

            if(lastFirstVisibleItemfirstVisibleItem){
               Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Scrolling up the listView",

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer.
