Changing the color of over scroll in scrollview in android

Question

I have a small problem with my scroll view. Whenever a scroll view has over scrolled, it shows a yellow gradient (in my device, it may vary for other devices) at edges of scroll view. It can be eliminated by setting attribute as below in android 2.3 and above.

android:overScrollMode="never"

Now i want to change the default color to some other. How to achieve this.

Please help me regarding this. Any help will be appreciated.

btw, please know that the color is not always "orange". it is dependant on the device. – Mure

let it be any color, is there any idea to change that color ? – Cerys

According to this [post][1], there's no way to do it naturally. [1]: #5898409 – Isomerous

Answer 1

You should use the following attributes on your ListView :

<ListView
      ...
      android:overScrollHeader="@drawable/header"
      android:overScrollFooter="@drawable/footer"/>

You could also set them programatically using setOverscrollFooter(Drawable d) and setOverscrollHeader(Drawable d).

Did you manage to change the color? Or did you just remove it? If you managed to change it, what did you write as drawable? See #12102608 – Amend

Has anyone seen how to do this for a viewpager? – Pneumonic

This EdgeEffectOverride library works nicely for all scroll-type views: https://github.com/AndroidAlliance/EdgeEffectOverride

E.g.

<uk.co.androidalliance.edgeeffectoverride.EdgeEffectScrollView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    ...
    app:edgeeffect_color="@color/red"
    />

And

EdgeEffectScrollView gridView = (EdgeEffectScrollView) root.findViewById(R.id.myscroll);
gridView.setEdgeEffectColor(Color.RED);
