I know that this has been asked before but the question wasn't answered correctly. Currently, I can fade my textView but not the bottom but the top. In my xml:

        <TextView
        android:id="@+id/item_description"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="@string/dummy_text"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        android:requiresFadingEdge="vertical"
        android:fadingEdgeLength="50dp"
        android:ellipsize="marquee"/>

In my class:

itemDescription.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

The @string/dummy_text is a very long text to illustrate the scroll-ability of the textView. The problem here is that, initially, the bottom text in the textView is not faded, it shows half the body of the characters of the text. When you scroll the textView, the top texts will be faded implying that there are text above to see but the bottom texts will still not be faded so the user has no way of knowing if there are still text to see below.

I know that there are lots of questions about this, I saw them and what I have now is the product of the application of their solutions.

Please see this question for the image of what I want.

  • If you switch to using a ScrollView, then it's easy to achieve this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/39252003/56285 (if I understood you correctly). – Jonik Aug 31 '16 at 14:19
