How to save and restore ListView position in Android

Answer 1

To get the current position of your ListView, you can call

int position = mCatchList.getFirstVisiblePosition();

Then once you navigate back to the tab with that ListView, you can call

mCatchList.setSelection(position);

It will depend on how your code is written to tell if the position will need to be added to the savedInstanceState, or however.
