How to always show scrollbar

Question

The scrollbar in my scrollview is only visible when I start scrolling. How can I always show it?

Answer 1

As of now the best way is to use android:fadeScrollbars="false" in xml which is equivalent to ScrollView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false); in java code.

Answer 2

Setting the android:scrollbarFadeDuration="0" will do the trick.

Answer 3

There are 4 ways:

• From Java code: ScrollView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);
• From XML code: android:fadeScrollbars="false"
• From Java code: myView.setScrollBarFadeDuration(0)
• From XML code: android:scrollbarFadeDuration="0"

Simple as that!
