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

Don't forget to add android:scrollbars="vertical" along with android:fadeScrollbars="false" or it won't show at all in some cases.

Answer 2

Try android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true" for vertical. and Try android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawHorizontalTrack="true" for horizontal

Answer 3

Since neither of the above worked for me, here's what did: android:scrollbarDefaultDelayBeforeFade="500000"

Answer 4

These two together worked for me:

android:scrollbarFadeDuration="0"
android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"

Answer 5

Try this as the above suggestions didn't work for me when I wanted to do this for a TextView:

TextView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);

Good Luck.

Answer 6

android:scrollbarFadeDuration="0" sometimes does not work after I exit from the apps and start again. So I add gallery.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false); to the activity and it works!
