Scroll a ListView by pixels in Android

Question

I want to scroll the a ListView in Android by number of pixels. For example I want to scroll the list 10 pixels down (so that the first item on the list has its top

Answer 1

The supported way to scroll a ListView widget is:

mListView.smoothScrollToPosition(position);

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AbsListView.html#smoothScrollToPosition(int)

However since you mentioned specifically that you would like to offset the view vertically, you must call:

mListView.setSelectionFromTop(position, yOffset);

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ListView.html#setSelectionFromTop(int,%20int)

Note that you can also use smoothScrollByOffset(yOffset). However it is only supported on API >= 11
