In my app I change the overscroll glow effect color like this:
int glowDrawableId = contexto.getResources().getIdentifier(\"overscroll_glow\", \"drawable\",
overscroll_glow.png doesn't exist in platform 21. You can copy the resourses from platform 20 and use them.
overscroll_glow.png
You can find overscroll_glow.png in:
{SDK_FOLDER}\platforms\android-20\data\res
This way you don't use reflection that can, as you can see, mess with your program after some updates.
