Can I scroll a ScrollView programmatically in Android

Question

Is there any way to scroll a ScrollView programmatically to a certain position   I have created dynamic TableLayout which is placed in a ScrollView  So I want that on a specific action  like clicking a Button  etc   the particular row should scroll automatically to a top position   Is it possible

I wanted the scrollView to scroll directly after onCreateView() (not after e.g. a button click). To get it to work I needed to use a ViewTreeObserver:

mScrollView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            mScrollView.post(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    mScrollView.fullScroll(View.FOCUS_DOWN);
                }
            });
        }
    });

But beware that this will be called everytime something gets layouted (e.g if you set a view invisible or similar) so don't forget to remove this listener if you don't need it anymore with:

public void removeGlobalOnLayoutListener (ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener victim) on SDK Lvl < 16

or

public void removeOnGlobalLayoutListener (ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener victim) in SDK Lvl >= 16

If you want to scroll instantly then you can use    ScrollView scroll   ScrollView findViewById R id scroll   scroll scrollTo 0  scroll getBottom                  OR  scroll fullScroll View FOCUS DOWN                OR  scroll post new Runnable                      Override     public void run                scroll fullScroll View FOCUS DOWN                             Or if you want to scroll smoothly and slowly so you can use this   private void sendScroll            final Handler handler   new Handler            new Thread new Runnable                  Override             public void run                     try  Thread sleep 100    catch  InterruptedException e                     handler post new Runnable                          Override                     public void run                             scrollView fullScroll View FOCUS DOWN                                                                      start

Adding another answer that does not involve coordinates   This will bring your desired view to focus  but not to the top position        yourView getParent   requestChildFocus yourView yourView        public void RequestChildFocus  View child  View focused    child - The child of this ViewParent that wants focus  This view will contain the focused view  It is not necessarily the view that actually has focus   focused - The view that is a descendant of child that actually has focus

Note  if you already in a thread  you have to make a new post thread  or it s not scroll new long height till the full end  for me   For ex   void LogMe final String s       runOnUiThread new Runnable             public void run                 connectionLog setText connectionLog getText       n    s               final ScrollView sv    ScrollView connectLayout findViewById R id scrollView               sv post new Runnable                     public void run                         sv fullScroll sv FOCUS DOWN                                              sv scrollTo 0 sv getBottom                         sv scrollBy 0 sv getHeight

Yes  you can   Let s say you got one Layout and inside that  you got many Views  So if you want to scroll to any View programmatically  you have to write the following code snippet   For example   content main xml   lt ScrollView     android id    id scrollView      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content  gt        lt LinearLayout         android layout width  match parent          android layout height  wrap content          android orientation  vertical  gt            lt Button             android id    id btn              android layout width  match parent              android layout height  wrap content    gt            lt TextView             android id    id txtView              android layout width  match parent              android layout height  wrap content    gt        lt  LinearLayout gt   lt  ScrollView gt    MainActivity java  ScrollView scrollView    ScrollView  findViewById R id scrollView   Button btn    Button  findViewById R id ivEventBanner   TextView txtView    TextView  findViewById R id ivEditBannerImage     If you want to scroll to a specific View  let s say txtview  in this case  just write   scrollView smoothScrollTo txtView getScrollX   txtView getScrollY       And you are done

There are a lot of good answers here  but I only want to add one thing  It sometimes happens that you want to scroll your ScrollView to a specific view of the layout  instead of a full scroll to the top or the bottom   A simple example  in a registration form  if the user tap the  Signup  button when a edit text of the form is not filled  you want to scroll to that specific edit text to tell the user that he must fill that field   In that case  you can do something like that   scrollView post new Runnable              public void run                   scrollView scrollTo 0  editText getBottom                      or  if you want a smooth scroll instead of an instant scroll   scrollView post new Runnable                  public void run                       scrollView smoothScrollTo 0  editText getBottom                              Obviously you can use any type of view instead of Edit Text  Note that getBottom   returns the coordinates of the view based on its parent layout  so all the views used inside the ScrollView should have only a parent  for example a Linear Layout    If you have multiple parents inside the child of the ScrollView  the only solution i ve found is to call requestChildFocus on the parent view   editText getParent   requestChildFocus editText  editText     but in this case you cannot have a smooth scroll   I hope this answer can help someone with the same problem

I was using the Runnable with sv fullScroll View FOCUS DOWN   It works perfectly for the immediate problem  but that method makes ScrollView take the Focus from the entire screen  if you make that AutoScroll to happen every time  no EditText will be able to receive information from the user  my solution was use a different code under the runnable   sv scrollTo 0  sv getBottom     sv getScrollY      making the same without losing focus on important views  greetings

Everyone is posting such complicated answers   I found an easy answer  for scrolling to the bottom  nicely   final ScrollView myScroller    ScrollView  findViewById R id myScrollerView       Scroll views can only have 1 child  so get the first child s bottom     which should be the full size of the whole content inside the ScrollView myScroller smoothScrollTo  0  myScroller getChildAt  0   getBottom        And  if necessary  you can put the second line of code  above  into a runnable   myScroller post  new Runnable          Override     public void run             myScroller smoothScrollTo  0  myScroller getChildAt  0   getBottom                It took me much research and playing around to find this simple solution  I hope it helps you  too
