flutter - How to scroll item in ListView so it is visible?

Question

When adding new items (e.g. a ListTile) to a ListView is there a way to scroll the newly added item into view? The new item may not be at the bottom of the list (e.g. it is sorted alphabetically).

Answer 1

You can scroll through a ListView using a ScrollController.

final scrollController = ScrollController();

// ...
ListView(controller: scrollController // ...
);
// ...
scrollController.animateTo(height, duration: Duration(milliseconds: 678), 
  curve: Curves.ease);

You will have to determine the height yourself. That could be done using the index of your item and the general item height.

There is a full example available here.
