## API Reference

### requestScrollToItem

> Source set: Common

```kotlin
public fun requestScrollToItem(@AndroidXIntRange(from = 0) index: Int, scrollOffset: Int = 0)
```

Requests the item at `index` to be at the start of the viewport during the next remeasure,
offset by [scrollOffset](/jetpack-compose/androidx.compose.foundation/foundation/properties/scrollOffset/api), and schedules a remeasure.

The scroll position will be updated to the requested position rather than maintain the index
based on the first visible item key (when a data set change will also be applied during the
next remeasure), but *only* for the next remeasure.

Any scroll in progress will be cancelled.

#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| index | the index to which to scroll. Must be non-negative. |
| scrollOffset | the offset that the item should end up after the scroll. Note that positive offset refers to forward scroll, so in a top-to-bottom list, positive offset will scroll the item further upward (taking it partly offscreen). |
