Question

Good morning; I have a list view in ANDROID where I want that the fadScroll bare appears event it is not cliked, after doing many research I found that I must add in XML the following line:

android:fadeScrollbars="false"

Yes it was well, it appears , but the problem I want to change its width and colour.. is it possible using simple XML code ??

Thanks in advance

Just write in xml properties: `android:scrollbarThumbVertical="@android:color/darker_gray" android:scrollbarSize="5dp"` — i_tanova, Jan 04 '19 at 10:41

yes it is possible. Create a scroll bar in drawable(scrollbar.xml) using this

<gradient
    android:angle="45"
    android:centerColor="#669C79E7"
    android:endColor="#66C0C0C0"
    android:startColor="#669C70E2" />

<corners android:radius="8dp" />

and add this scroll bar like android:scrollbarThumbVertical="@drawable/scrollbar" to your ListView
