stop scrollView in the middle of the scroll

Question

I have a scrollview with a lot of content. Now when user do a fling or scroll down, I want the scrollview to stop at a particular view location, where I am doing some animation, and then user can again fling or scroll down.

I have tried the disabling of scrollview as mentioned here but It only disables when the scrollview completely stops and cannot stop in the middle of a fling.

Is there any way I can stop a fling of the scrollview when a certain view location or a certain y value is reached?

Answer 1

I had the same problem my solution was.

listView.smoothScrollBy(0,0)

This will stop the scrolling.

Answer 2

To stop a fling at a particular point simply call

fling(0)

If you are only concerned about flings this is the most logical way to do so in my opinion, because velosityYis set to 0 and thereby the fling is stopped immediately.

Here is the javadoc of the fling method:

/**
 * Fling the scroll view
 *
 * @param velocityY The initial velocity in the Y direction. Positive
 *                  numbers mean that the finger/cursor is moving down the screen,
 *                  which means we want to scroll towards the top.
