How to set the color of an Android ScrollView fading edge?

Question

I have an Android scrollview with a white background. The fading edge is a white translucent gradient. I would like to change it be black instead of white. I have a ListView

Answer 1

Just found it out by trial and error.

Simply set android:background="@color/yourColor" for the <ScrollView>. It will set the shadow to the given colour.

Answer 2

EDIT: this does not answer the question, which was asking for ScrollView. This answer only works on AbsListView and descendants (including ListView).

---

Fading edge color is controlled by the android:cacheColorHint attribute.

E.g.:

<ScrollView android:cacheColorHint="#ff000000" android:background="#ffffffff" />

will set the background to white, and the cacheColorHint is used to draw the fading edge color -- in this case, it would be black.

Answer 3

If you want a different color fading edge than the background, you have to override the ScrollView's getSolidColor() method. For example:

@Override
public int getSolidColor() {
    return Color.rgb(0x30, 0x30, 0x30);
}

Answer 4

Do this:

  <ScrollView
    android:theme="@style/scrollUpdate"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1" >

in values\styles put the style

<style name="scrollUpdate">
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/yourcolor</item>
    <item name="android:color">@color/yourcolor</item>
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/yourcolor</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/yourcolor</item>
</style>

works to me tks!

You can use:

    final int glowDrawableId = context.getResources().getIdentifier("overscroll_glow",
            "drawable", "android");
    final Drawable androidGlow = context.getResources().getDrawable(glowDrawableId);
    androidGlow.setColorFilter(Color.RED, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);

    int edgeDrawableId = context.getResources().getIdentifier("overscroll_edge", "drawable",
            "android");
    final Drawable androidEdge = context.getResources().getDrawable(edgeDrawableId);
    androidEdge.setColorFilter(Color.RED, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
