Making the vertical scrollbar visible

Question

I want to make the vertical scroll bar permanently visible. Currently the scroll bar appears only when I attempt to scroll the text view enclosed inside the scroll view. This is my XML declaration.

<ScrollView     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="fill_parent"     android:layout_above="@id/radio_group"     android:layout_margin="5dp"     android:scrollbars="vertical"      android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true" >     <TextView         android:id="@+id/question"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:textSize="20sp"         android:textColor="#FF000000"         android:textStyle="bold" /> </ScrollView> 

Thank you for your time.
