How to scroll to bottom in a ScrollView on activity startup

It needs to be done as following:

    getScrollView().post(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            getScrollView().fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN);
        }
    });

This way the view is first updated and then scrolls to the "new" bottom.

Put the following code after your data is added:

final ScrollView scrollview = ((ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scrollview));
scrollview.post(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        scrollview.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN);
    }
});

This works for me:

scrollview.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
    @Override
    public void onGlobalLayout() {
        scrollview.post(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                scrollview.fullScroll(View.FOCUS_DOWN);
            }
        });
    }
});

You can do this in layout file:

                android:id="@+id/listViewContent"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="381dp" 
                android:stackFromBottom="true"
                android:transcriptMode="alwaysScroll">

 scrollView.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            scrollView.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN);
        }
    },1000);

Try this

    final ScrollView scrollview = ((ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scrollview));
    scrollview.post(new Runnable() {
       @Override
       public void run() {
         scrollview.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN);
       }
    });

Right after you append data to the view add this single line:

yourScrollview.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN);

This is the best way of doing this.

scrollView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            scrollView.post(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    scrollView.fullScroll(View.FOCUS_DOWN);
                }
            });
        }
});

After initializing your UI component and fill it with data. add those line to your on create method

Runnable runnable=new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            scrollView.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN);
        }
    };
    scrollView.post(runnable);
