Android ListView scrolling to top

I have a ListView with custom rows. When any of these rows is clicked, the ListView's data is regenerated. I'd like the list to scroll back to the top when this happens.

I initially tried using setSelection(0) in each row's OnClickListener to achieve this but was unsuccessful (I believe because the ListView loses its scroll position when its data is invalidated - so my call to setSelection is undone. I still don't understand how the ListView decides where to scroll to after invalidation, though).

The only working solution I know of was given by Romain Guy here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/127ca57414035301

It involves (View.post)ing the call to _listView.setSelection(0). I found this to perform quite poorly. The newly generated list shows up with its scroll location unchanged and there is a considerable delay before it scrolls back to the top.

Is there any better way to achieve this functionality?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Personally, I recommend you find a different UI pattern. It is possible that users will find your current "click, and the list changes in situ" approach intuitive, but I am skeptical.

You could try subclassing ListView and overriding layoutChildren() to chain to the superclass, then call setSelection(0) in the case where that is needed. If the "considerable delay" is due to just the post() call, this should clear it up.

as a workaround, you can create a new adapter containing the new regenerated data, then call ListView.setAdapter. after that call ListView.setSelection(n).

btw, the solution provided by commonsware is worked.

call listView.setSelectionAfterHeaderView(); to scroll to top

I simply use listview.setSelection(0);

Works fine for me.

I have tried lot but this one worked for me 

list.smoothScrollToPosition(0);

If you need instant scroll just after ListView adapter's data was changed, pay attention that it might not be yet populated. In this case you should post() your setSelection() or setSelectionAfterHeaderView() via Handler so it will be called later in the queue.

listView.Handler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
listView.setSelectionAfterHeaderView();
}
});

This worked for me.

On some different requirement. If you want to scroll up just like while chatting. 

        mListView.smoothScrollToPosition(mAdapter.getCount());

This one worked fine when you want to focus the edittext from listview header

listview.setSelectionFromTop(0,0);

If you want to select the particular index view from listview then 

listview.setSelection(index); // o for top
