Can we smoothScroll to a particular header?

[iamsachin]

I am trying to smooth scroll within various groups of headers having items within them. Is there any method for scrolling to a particular header?

Just call stickyList.smoothScrollToPosition(headerPosition) where headerPostion is the position of the header you want to scroll to in the list.

Hi. Thank you for the quick response. I tried using this, but this is taking me to the child elements of the header with position relative to the first child element. It's not moving to the headers themselves. I am trying to do this: In my taxi booking app, I have a history page, where there are 4 types of headers, "booked, "confirmed", "cancelled" and "completed". Based on the booking status in the database, the cursor adapter fills the stickyheaders list view. I made 4 buttons at the bottom with the same names. Now I am trying this, when I click on cancelled button, it should take me to the cancelled header with all the cancelled bookings below it. These are few of my methods that I have overridden: ''' @Override public int getCount() { return c.getCount(); }

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    c.moveToPosition(position);
    return c;
}

private int getItemViewType(Cursor cursor) {
    String type = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(cursor.getColumnName(10)));
    if (type.equals("Booked")) {
        return 0;
    } else if (type.equals("Confirmed")) {
        return 1;
    } else if (type.equals("Completed")){
        return 2;
    } else {
        return 3;
    }
}

@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
    c.moveToPosition(position);
    return getItemViewType(c);
}

@Override
public int getViewTypeCount() {
    return 4;
}

@Override
public long getHeaderId(int i) {
    c.moveToPosition(i);
    if (c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(c.getColumnName(10))).equals("Confirmed")) {
        return 2;
    } else if (c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(c.getColumnName(10))).equals("Booked")) {
        return 1;
    } else if (c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(c.getColumnName(10))).equals("Completed")) {
        return 3;
    } else{
        return 4;
    }
}

I might be understanding you wrong but if you have a list that looks like this

Header 1
- item
- item
- item
Header 2
- item
- item
Header 3
- item
- item
- item
- item

and you want to move to Header 3 you just call stickyList.smoothScrollToPosition(5) because you want to get to the 5th item in the list (the first item under Header 3)

It would be nice to add a method like smoothScrollToHeader(int header) though. A downside with this is that SLH does not know the positions of headers and would need to travers the whole dataset to find headers. This should however not be a problem for most lists.
