Stop scrolling in a listview

Question

I have in my activity a listview and an imagebutton. When I click the imagebutton I want to go to a specific position in the list (I do this by calling: setSelection(int position) on the list. The problem occurs when the user flings the listview and then clicks the imagebutton. The list goes to the specified position but continues scrolling.

eg. when I go into fling mode, click the button, then I go to the fourth position, but the listview keeps scrolling, so I end up with a selection of 25

Answer 1

I have write simple method to stop scoll ListView using reflection.

private void stopScroll(AbsListView view)
{
    try
    {
        Field field = android.widget.AbsListView.class.getDeclaredField("mFlingRunnable");
        field.setAccessible(true);
        Object flingRunnable = field.get(view);
        if (flingRunnable != null)
        {
            Method method = Class.forName("android.widget.AbsListView$FlingRunnable").getDeclaredMethod("endFling");
            method.setAccessible(true);
            method.invoke(flingRunnable);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e) {}
}

Just call stopScroll(myListView); when you need to stop scroll.

Answer 2

// Stop scrolling
smoothScrollBy(0, 0);

Internally this will call the method that @Nik is trying to reflect.
