Question

I have a form with lots of fields and when I press the “submit” button, I’d like the scrollview to jump to the position where the unanswered field is located. Is there a method other than scrollto(x,y) to do this or such coordinates must always be mapped to the form’s elements somehow ( something like (form element).getCoordinates() )?

Thanks

ScrollViews do have predefined methods scrollTo() & scrollBy() for such functionality.

I believe you are having issues in getting co-ordinates. So I suggest store height of each view (that consumes vertical space)by using View.getHeight method & store heights in a Map collection .
Below is the code snippet I tried

    scrollView.post(new Runnable() {
                 public void run() {
               Integer emailTextViewHeight = (Integer)hashMap.get("EmailTextViewHeight");
            scrollView.scrollBy(0, emailTextViewHeight);//scrolls to emailTextView
                 }
             });
