##ListViews Widgets come in the following four types:

**1. ListView()**
**2. ListView.builder()**
**3. ListView.separated()**
**4. ListView.custom()**

You can learn more about the listview widget and its type with more details from here.

In our code, we sometimes need to scroll the list view to the Top or bottom (programmatically). So, in this article, We will learn how to scroll down to the bottom of a ListView in Flutter.

To manage our ListView, we will want a ScrollController.

ScrollController _scrollController = ScrollController();
To jump listview from Top to bottom, you can use the below snippet.
  

```dart
  onPressed: () async {
           SchedulerBinding.instance?.addPostFrameCallback((_) {
                 _scrollController.animateTo(
                 _scrollController.position.maxScrollExtent,
                 duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 1),
                 curve: Curves.fastOutSlowIn);
                 });
          },
```

To jump listview from Bottom to Top, you can use the below snippet.


```dart
onPressed: () async {
           SchedulerBinding.instance?.addPostFrameCallback((_) {
                 _scrollController.animateTo(
                 _scrollController.position.minScrollExtent,
                 duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 1),
                 curve: Curves.fastOutSlowIn);
                 });
          },
```

Let’s see a complete example of a scrolling list view of both sides.

```dart
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State {
  final ScrollController _scrollController = ScrollController();
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: const Text('Coflutter'),
        ),
        body: Column(
          children: [
            Row(
              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround,
              children: [
                ElevatedButton(
                  child: const Text('To Top'),
                  onPressed: () async {
             SchedulerBinding.instance?.addPostFrameCallback((_) {
                      _scrollController.animateTo(
                          _scrollController.position.minScrollExtent,
                          duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 1),
                          curve: Curves.fastOutSlowIn);
                    });
                  },
                ),
                ElevatedButton(
                  child: const Text('To Bottom'),
                  onPressed: () async {
                 SchedulerBinding.instance?.addPostFrameCallback((_) {
                      _scrollController.animateTo(
                          _scrollController.position.maxScrollExtent,
                          duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 1),
                          curve: Curves.fastOutSlowIn);
                    });
                  },
                ),
              ],
            ),
            Expanded(
              child: ListView.builder(
                controller: _scrollController,
                itemCount: 100,
                itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                  return Card(
                    child: ListTile(
                      title: Text("Index : $index"),
                    ),
                  );
                },
              ),
            ),
            const Divider(),
          ],
        ));
  }
}
```
