Custom Scrollbar for TextView in Android

Question

How can one achieve scrollbar like one below for TextView?

So what i mean is, the scrollbar style is custom and is visible when the content does not fit into TextView.

Thank you all in advance.

have you tried the suggestions from here? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14171755/custom-scrollbar-android — stamanuel, Mar 12 '17 at 20:19

You can't add ScrollView to a TextView. You can make it scrollable instead (which is technically same)

See this answer , hope you get your solution!

@Tamid thanks for that however what i actually want is the way it looks. – chirag90 Mar 12 '17 at 20:08
you want it appear all the time beside textview or when it should be scrolled? – Tahmid Rahman Mar 12 '17 at 20:09
Appear when the content cant be fitted in the text view. – chirag90 Mar 12 '17 at 20:11
ok think i got your point ; you want to make `TextView` scrollable and at the same time, the scroll should have your custom style... am i right? – Tahmid Rahman Mar 12 '17 at 20:14
so, for the first step(scrollable `TextView`) you could follow my answer above and for the second step (styling scrollbar) you can go [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/14487645/6155248) – Tahmid Rahman Mar 12 '17 at 20:17
