Q:

How to check if a my ListView has scrollable number of items?

How do you know if your ListView has enough number of items so that it can scroll?
For instance, If I have 5 items on my ListView all of it will be displayed on a single screen. But if I have 7 or more, my ListView begins to scroll. How do I know if my List can scroll programmatically?

Diegosan's answer cannot differentiate when the last item is partially visible on the screen. Here is a solution to that problem.
First, the ListView must be rendered on the screen before we can check if its content is scrollable. This can be done with a ViewTreeObserver:
ViewTreeObserver observer = listView.getViewTreeObserver();
    observer.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {

        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            if (willMyListScroll()) {
                 // Do something
            } 
        }
    });

And here is willMyListScroll():
boolean willMyListScroll() {   
    int pos = listView.getLastVisiblePosition();
    if (listView.getChildAt(pos).getBottom() > listView.getHeight()) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

As per my comment on Mike Ortiz' answer, I believe his answer is wrong:
getChildAt() only counts the children that are visible on screen. Meanwhile, getLastVisiblePosition returns the index based on the Adapter. So if the lastVisiblePosition is 8 because it's the 9th item in the list and there are only 4 visible items on screen, you're gonna get a crash. Verify it by calling getChildCount() and see. The indices for getChildAt are not the same as the indices for the data set. Check this out: ListView getChildAt returning null for visible children
Here's my solution:
public boolean isScrollable() {
        int last = listView.getChildCount()-1; //last visible listitem view
        if (listView.getChildAt(last).getBottom()>listView.getHeight() || listView.getChildAt(0).getTop()<0) { //either the first visible list item is cutoff or the last is cutoff
                return true;
        }
        else{
            if (listView.getChildCount()==listView.getCount()) { //all visible listitem views are all the items there are (nowhere to scroll)
                return false;
            }
            else{ //no listitem views are cut off but there are other listitem views to scroll to
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
