How to force Android ListView NOT to update while scrolling?

Question

I have a ListView with a custom adapter, and an animation in getView() for each item. The point is, that I want to animate each item once, but it happens every time an item appears on screen (I scroll down, more items appear with animation, but when I scroll back, it happens to items I've seen earlier).

I wonder if there is an method to kill ListView update? It's the more annoying because it also reloads images that I get from the web.

Then keep track of which ones you have animated before and don't animate them again.

No.

It's the more annoying cause it also reloads images that i get from the web.

Cache those images, to memory and/or to disk, so the images are not downloaded multiple times.
