Let's say you have an ImageView and you want to download an image and set the imageView to hold that image. Sounds sort of difficult, right? With AQuery this is done in one line:

It will help you downloading images and displaying them in ListView.

Your problem is connected with recycling views in ListView. So your ImageView in getView() is reused, that's why positions in your list are changing. If you are using holder and have something like holder.image.setImageDrawable(...) inside if/else statement, you should move it outside condition, just above return.
