How to set the color of an Android ScrollView fading edge?

Question

I have an Android scrollview with a white background. The fading edge is a white translucent gradient. I would like to change it be black instead of white. I have a ListView

If you don't know what changed the color of your fading edge, it was probably the application of a style or theme. Check your manifest for android:theme="something" in an Activity. If the theme is from the group android.R.style.Theme.Light the edge will be white. The default android.R.style.Theme and android.R.style.Theme.Black will have black fading edges. Themes also affect other attributes, so check out the attributes fully before you throw them in for one thing.
