You can use the flutter_scrollview_observer lib that I wrote to implement your desired functionality without invasivity

Create and use instance of ScrollController normally.

ScrollController scrollController = ScrollController();

ListView _buildListView() {
  return ListView.separated(
    controller: scrollController,
    ...
  );
}

Create an instance of ListObserverController pass it to ListViewObserver

ListObserverController observerController = ListObserverController(controller: scrollController);

ListViewObserver(
  controller: observerController,
  child: _buildListView(),
  ...
)

Now you can scroll to the specified index position

// Jump to the specified index position without animation.
observerController.jumpTo(index: 1)

// Jump to the specified index position with animation.
observerController.animateTo(
  index: 1,
  duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 250),
  curve: Curves.ease,
);

You can scroll into position by calculating your item position.

int itemCount = 5; // your items count
ScrollController scrollController = ScrollController();
int index = 2; // your item index to scroll

scrollController.jumpTo(
   scrollController.position.maxScrollExtent/ 
     (itemCount-1) * index
);

This will scroll you to some way around item, then you can have the best place for yourself by index some offset

It's simple to scroll to preferred index if you know listview item size like:

var index = 15;
var widthOfItem =
176; //in dp. width needed for horizontallistView;
var heightOfItem =
200; //in dp. height need for vertical listView;
listViewScrollController.jumpTo(index * widthOfItem.toDouble());

or

listViewScrollController.animateTo(
index * widthOfItem.toDouble(),
duration: Duration(milliseconds: 500),
curve: Curves.ease);

Use scroll_to_index lib, here scroll will be always performed to sixth position as its hardcoded below

dependencies:
    scroll_to_index: ^1.0.6

Code Snippet:

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  final scrollDirection = Axis.vertical;

  AutoScrollController controller;
  List<List<int>> randomList;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller = AutoScrollController(
        viewportBoundaryGetter: () =>
            Rect.fromLTRB(0, 0, 0, MediaQuery.of(context).padding.bottom),
        axis: scrollDirection);
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: ListView(
        scrollDirection: scrollDirection,
        controller: controller,
        children: <Widget>[
          ...List.generate(20, (index) {
            return AutoScrollTag(
              key: ValueKey(index),
              controller: controller,
              index: index,
              child: Container(
                height: 100,
                color: Colors.red,
                margin: EdgeInsets.all(10),
                child: Center(child: Text('index: $index')),
              ),
              highlightColor: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.1),
            );
          }),
        ],
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _scrollToIndex,
        tooltip: 'Increment',
        child: Icon(Icons.add),
      ),
    );
  }
  // Scroll listview to the sixth item of list, scrollling is dependent on this number
  Future _scrollToIndex() async {
    await controller.scrollToIndex(6, preferPosition: AutoScrollPosition.begin);
  }
}

Output:

ScrollablePositionedList can be used for this. https://github.com/google/flutter.widgets/tree/master/packages/scrollable_positioned_list

Pub link - https://pub.dev/packages/scrollable_positioned_list

final ItemScrollController itemScrollController = ItemScrollController();
final ItemPositionsListener itemPositionListener = ItemPositionsListener.create();


ScrollablePositionedList.builder(
  itemCount: 500,
  itemBuilder: (context, index) => Text('Item $index'),
  itemScrollController: itemScrollController,
  itemPositionsListener: itemPositionListener,
);

One then can scroll to a particular item with:

itemScrollController.scrollTo(
  index: 150,
  duration: Duration(seconds: 2),
  curve: Curves.easeInOutCubic);

Unfortunately, ListView has no built-in approach to a scrollToIndex() function. You’ll have to develop your own way to measure to that element’s offset for animateTo() or jumpTo(), or you can search through these suggested solutions/plugins or from other posts like Flutter: Scrolling to a widget in ListView

(the general scrollToIndex issue is discussed at flutter/issues/12319 since 2017, but still with no current plans)

But there is a different kind of ListView that does support scrollToIndex (as mentioned by Slashbin):

You set it up exactly like ListView and works the same, except you now have access to a ItemScrollController that does:

  • jumpTo({index, alignment})
  • scrollTo({index, alignment, duration, curve})

Simplified example:

ItemScrollController _scrollController = ItemScrollController();

ScrollablePositionedList.builder(
  itemScrollController: _scrollController,
  itemCount: _myList.length,
  itemBuilder: (context, index) {
    return _myList[index];
  },
)

_scrollController.scrollTo(index: 150, duration: Duration(seconds: 1));

(note that this library is developed by Google but not by the core Flutter team.)

Found a gist and its working gist url is https://gist.github.com/debuggerx01/b8ef756ee02b3eb82ec3702f14ba94e6

this gist is using a package which is calculation rect size. https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/rect_getter
