Autohide scrollbars when not scrolling in a ListView

Question

In the new official Twitter app, the scrollbars in all the ListViews the app uses are hidden unless the user is scrolling through the list.

When you start scrollin

Answer 1

I followed Alex's answer and it worked using both the theme settings and through code.

GridView gridview = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.mygridView);
gridview.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);

I did encounter a problem however with the Gallery Component. Whilst the following will compile fine, it will throw a NullPointerException. I assume this is to do with a Gallery not having scrollbars to show/hide.

Gallery gallery = (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.myGallery);
gallery.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false); // <-- this will throw an exception
