by default scrollview's fading edge is visible only if it is possible to scroll in that direction. How can I make it visible at all times?
I don't want to put any drawables on top or something like that. I want to accomplish it using the builtin fading edge, probably by overriding some scrollview functions.
Thanks in advance
Yes, extend ScrollView and override these methods (based on Donut-release2):
@Override
protected float getTopFadingEdgeStrength() {
if (getChildCount() == 0) {
return 0.0f;
}
return 1.0f;
}
@Override
protected float getBottomFadingEdgeStrength() {
if (getChildCount() == 0) {
return 0.0f;
}
return 1.0f;
}
For comparison's sake, this is the original code, which shortens the fading edge as you get close to the end of the list:
@Override
protected float getTopFadingEdgeStrength() {
if (getChildCount() == 0) {
return 0.0f;
}
final int length = getVerticalFadingEdgeLength();
if (mScrollY < length) {
return mScrollY / (float) length;
}
return 1.0f;
}
@Override
protected float getBottomFadingEdgeStrength() {
if (getChildCount() == 0) {
return 0.0f;
}
final int length = getVerticalFadingEdgeLength();
final int bottomEdge = getHeight() - mPaddingBottom;
final int span = getChildAt(0).getBottom() - mScrollY - bottomEdge;
if (span < length) {
return span / (float) length;
}
return 1.0f;
}
