Android how can you implement moveToPosition with a Custom Adapter

Question

I have a simple custom adapter. I need to set the starting position to different positions at different times. When using a standard listadapter, I can simply use myCursor.moveToPosition( i ). A custom adapter using getview does not work that way. Can anyone tell me how to move the current list to the position I want?

Answer 1

If your ListView is available, use: getListView().setSelection( i );

(or myListView.setSelection(i); )

You can also get the current position (to return to in onResume, perhaps) by using:

int myPosition = getListView().getFirstVisiblePosition();
