How to change the color of overscroll edge and overscroll glow

Question

How to Change color of over-scroll edge and over-scroll glow or how to change the white color (default color) of android release 5.0 lollipop?

Answer 1

If you're using the latest RecyclerView implementation it is pretty straightforward to change the overflow colour programmatically. Use the following code (Kotlin implementation):

recyclerView.edgeEffectFactory = object : RecyclerView.EdgeEffectFactory() {
    override fun createEdgeEffect(view: RecyclerView, direction: Int): EdgeEffect {
        return EdgeEffect(view.context).apply { setColor(color) }
    }
}

Note that this works only for API level 21 (Lollipop) and above. If you know the value at compile time, use the colorEdgeEffect as pointed out by Ahmed.
