I have a shorter and, in my opinion, better solution to do this : ListView requestChildRectangleOnScreen method is designed for it.

The answer above ensures that the item will be displayed, but sometimes it will be displayed partly (ie. when it is at the bottom of the screen). The code below ensures that the whole item will be displayed and that the view will scroll only the necessary zone :

    private void ensureVisible(ListView parent, View view) {
    Rect rect = new Rect(view.getLeft(), view.getTop(), view.getRight(), view.getBottom());
    parent.requestChildRectangleOnScreen(view, rect, false);
}
