Also, enable `fadeScrollbars` true. Make sure you have enough items in the list and lastly If it doesn't work, try enabling recyclerView fast scrolling. — Debdeep, Feb 02 '18 at 06:16
Gr8 @Debdeep , it is working now the background color was white but I did not write that. When i write android:background="@android:color/white" it is working. I dont know how — Sudhansu Sekhar, Feb 02 '18 at 06:21
That was default color @Debdeep, I did not use any. btw can you do me a favor, actually as per my question I want to design a scrollbar using the custom image, can you guide me how to do? please look at the design of scroll bar [Image link](https://ibb.co/eDmKdm) — Sudhansu Sekhar, Feb 02 '18 at 06:36
There are tutorials where you can see how to create a custom thumb drawable for scrollbars. Please post it a question in a new thread with your code in case you face any difficulty. — Debdeep, Feb 02 '18 at 06:45

you can Increase the size of scrollbar

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
    android:margin="5dp"
    android:scrollbars="vertical" <!-- type of scrollbar -->
    android:scrollbarThumbVertical="@android:color/darker_gray"  <!--color of scroll bar-->
    android:scrollbarSize="5dp"> <!--width of scroll bar-->

</android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>
