Ok so the issue is what I noticed: you are mixing index and positions.
A ListView contains only as many items as it needs to fill the screen.
For instance, you can see 8 items on screens, there are 8 children in
the ListView, numbered from 0 to 7 (the index.) However, your adapter
can have many more items, for instance 400. The position (arg2 in your
code) indicates the index of an item *in the adapter*. This means that
the View of index 2 is not necessarily the adapter's item of position
2. To do the conversion, you can use
ListView.getFirstVisiblePosition().

Here is your code with the fix:

if (i==arg2) becomes if (getListView().getFirstVisiblePosition() + i == arg2)
and all the getChildAt(arg2) become getChildAt(arg2 -
getListView().getFirstVisiblePosition())
