I needed to scroll the list ( ExpandableListView to be exact ) to position.I found this thread where Romain Guy said it got fixed in Froyo. And it is. There is a smoothscrollToPosition in SDK8 and up. As i needed to go lower than 8 here is mine workaround. If anybody knows better way let me know

class ScrollList extends Thread {
        final int position = mListView.getFlatListPosition(ExpandableListView
                .getPackedPositionForGroup(mListAdapter.getTestGroupPosition()));
        View itemView = mListView.getChildAt(position);
        int yPos = itemView.getTop();
        public void run() {
            while (yPos >= 20) {
                try {
                    yPos -= 5;
                    sleep(20);
                    mListView.post(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            mListView.setSelectionFromTop(position, yPos);
                        }
                    });
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
    };
