Can I scroll a ScrollView programmatically in Android?

Viewed 186219

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?

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

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txtView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

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.

it's working for me

mScrollView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            mScrollView.post(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    mScrollView.fullScroll(View.FOCUS_DOWN);
                }
            });
        }
    });
private int totalHeight = 0;

ViewTreeObserver ScrollTr = loutMain.getViewTreeObserver();
ScrollTr.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
    @Override
    public void onGlobalLayout() {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
            loutMain.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
        } else {
            loutMain.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
        }
        TotalHeight = loutMain.getMeasuredHeight();

    }
});

scrollMain.smoothScrollTo(0, totalHeight);
I had to create Interface

public interface ScrollViewListener {
    void onScrollChanged(ScrollViewExt scrollView, 
                         int x, int y, int oldx, int oldy);
}    

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.ScrollView;

public class CustomScrollView extends ScrollView {
    private ScrollViewListener scrollViewListener = null;
    public ScrollViewExt(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public CustomScrollView (Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public CustomScrollView (Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public void setScrollViewListener(ScrollViewListener scrollViewListener) {
        this.scrollViewListener = scrollViewListener;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onScrollChanged(int l, int t, int oldl, int oldt) {
        super.onScrollChanged(l, t, oldl, oldt);
        if (scrollViewListener != null) {
            scrollViewListener.onScrollChanged(this, l, t, oldl, oldt);
        }
    }
}




<"Your Package name ".CustomScrollView 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/scrollView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:scrollbars="vertical">

    private CustomScrollView scrollView;

scrollView = (CustomScrollView)mView.findViewById(R.id.scrollView);
        scrollView.setScrollViewListener(this);


    @Override
    public void onScrollChanged(ScrollViewExt scrollView, int x, int y, int oldx, int oldy) {
        // We take the last son in the scrollview
        View view = (View) scrollView.getChildAt(scrollView.getChildCount() - 1);
        int diff = (view.getBottom() - (scrollView.getHeight() + scrollView.getScrollY()));

        // if diff is zero, then the bottom has been reached
        if (diff == 0) {
                // do stuff
            //TODO keshav gers
            pausePlayer();
            videoFullScreenPlayer.setVisibility(View.GONE);

        }
    }
