How can I set the initial scroll position of my list?

Question

I set my adapter to my list

ListView listView = (ListView)  view.findViewById(R.id.listViewMovies);
listView.setAdapter(myAdapter);

Now how can I set the initial scroll position of my list?

edit

smoothScrollToPosition does not work

ListView listView = (ListView)  view.findViewById(R.id.listViewMovies);
listView.setAdapter(myAdapter);
listView.smoothScrollToPosition(123);

setSelection does not work

ListView listView = (ListView)  view.findViewById(R.id.listViewMovies);
listView.setAdapter(myAdapter);
listView.setSelection(123);

You may use listview.smoothScrollToPosition() function. refer this : Programmatically scroll to a specific position in an Android ListView

use the code in onResume method of the activity or fragment. also you may try, listview.setSelection() – Harjot Singh Oberai Dec 10 '16 at 02:04
in onCreate declare the listview, set its adapter, but call the smoothScrollToPosition method in onResume, try this once, if not already – Harjot Singh Oberai Dec 10 '16 at 02:07

calling

listview.post(new Runnable() {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        listview.setSelection(mSelectedPosition);
    }
});

seems to have helped others.

What do I do with this code? Just copy paste and it is supposed to work? – the_prole Dec 10 '16 at 04:29
