programmatically scroll PreferenceActivity

Question

I have PreferenceActivity with plenty of PreferenceCategories defined in it. If I have the android:key of a given category.

Is it possible programmatically to scroll the Activity to this category?

Answer 1

I know this is an old answered question, but I found a better way than iterating through all the categories.

PreferenceCategory myCat = (PreferenceCategory) findPreference("myKey");
int position = myCat.getOrder();
getListView().setSelection(position);
