I have a ListView populated by a string-array. I want to select an item

  • 0

I have a ListView populated by a string-array. I want to select an item dynamically but .setSelection(1) and .setSelectionFromTop(1,100) does not work. 

list.setSelection(2);
Log.i(TAG, "my pos: "+ list.getSelectedItemPosition());

This traces out “my pos: -1”

Does anyone have any ideas?

    setSelection() and getSelectedItemPosition() refer to two different things.

    “Selection” refers to the first visible row, as in getFirstVisiblePosition().
    “Selected” refers to a selected View, as in View#setSelected().

    Which one do you want?
