How to make an activity scroll to a certain point?

Is it possible to have an activity scroll down to a certain point when a button is clicked?

I want my activity to behave just like an anchor in a web page.

I have two buttons at the top of the activity, followed by lengthy text aboout each of the buttons. When I click on the button at the top I want the page to scroll down beginning of that button's description.

Is this possible?

So your outer layout is a scroll view?

You can call

View.requestFocus()

Obviously, the view has to be focusable.

The problem with scrollTo(x,y) mentioned above is most likely that you don't know x, y.

Assuming you are using a TextView to display your text, you use the built in scrolling function myTextView.scrollTo(x,y). Put it inside your buttons' onClicks and you should be good to go!
