Programmatically scroll to a specific position in an Android ListView
How can I programmatically scroll to a specific position in a ListView
?
For example, I have a String[] {A,B,C,D....}
, and I need to set the top visible item of the ListView
to the index 21 of my String[]
.
For a direct scroll:
getListView().setSelection(21);
For a smooth scroll:
getListView().smoothScrollToPosition(21);
For a SmoothScroll with Scroll duration:
getListView().smoothScrollToPositionFromTop(position,offset,duration);
Parameters
position -> Position to scroll to
offset ---->Desired distance in pixels of position from the top of the view when scrolling is finished
duration-> Number of milliseconds to use for the scroll
Note: From API 11.
HandlerExploit's answer was what I was looking for, but My listview is quite lengthy and also with alphabet scroller. Then I found that the same function can take other parameters as well :)
Edit:(From AFDs suggestion)
To position the current selection:
int h1 = mListView.getHeight();
int h2 = listViewRow.getHeight();
mListView.smoothScrollToPositionFromTop(position, h1/2 - h2/2, duration);
Put your code in handler as follows,
public void timerDelayRunForScroll(long time) {
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
lstView.smoothScrollToPosition(YOUR_POSITION);
} catch (Exception e) {}
}
}, time);
}
and then call this method like,
timerDelayRunForScroll(100);
CHEERS!!!
