Custom Listview Fast Scrollbar in android
Finally, I came up with a solution. It only works with API level 11 or higher
values/style.xml
<style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light">
<!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
<item name="android:fastScrollThumbDrawable">@drawable/fast_thumb</item>
<item name="android:fastScrollTrackDrawable">@drawable/fastscroll_track_default_holo_dark</item>
</style>
Apply activity for this theme like below code:
<activity
android:name="com.example.viewpager.FirstActivity"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Activity layout XML like below code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/rlScrollingPlayList"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/white"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView
android:id="@+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:fastScrollEnabled="true"
android:fastScrollAlwaysVisible="true"
android:scrollbarStyle="outsideInset"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</ListView>
</RelativeLayout>
Resource image files are
Fast scroll thumb selector XML file:
drawable/fast_thumb.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/fastscroll_thumb_pressed_holo"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/fastscroll_thumb_default_holo"></item>
</selector>
Final output like below figure:
so for android api level < 11 there is special hack
// special hack for violet fast scroll
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
try {
java.lang.reflect.Field f = AbsListView.class.getDeclaredField("mFastScroller");
f.setAccessible(true);
Object o = f.get(root.findViewById(R.id.beam_contact_listview));
f = f.getType().getDeclaredField("mThumbDrawable");
f.setAccessible(true);
Drawable drawable = (Drawable) f.get(o);
drawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.sv_fastscroll);
f.set(o, drawable);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
this code plus solution for android api level >= 11 = solution for all android api levels )
