Keep fast-scroll bar in recyclerview from fading

Question

Is there a possibility to keep the scroll-bar of a fast-scrolling recyclerview from fading? Right now I have this recyclerview:

<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/result_list"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:fadeScrollbars="false"
    app:fastScrollEnabled="true"
    app:fastScrollHorizontalThumbDrawable="@drawable/thumb_drawable"
    app:fastScrollHorizontalTrackDrawable="@drawable/line_drawable"
    app:fastScrollVerticalThumbDrawable="@drawable/thumb_drawable"
    app:fastScrollVerticalTrackDrawable="@drawable/line_drawable"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />

When I was still using a normal scrollbar, fadeScrollbars = false, did work, but the fast-scroll bar doesn't seem to care about this attribute at all. Is there a possibility to keep it there continuosly and prevent it from fading as soon as the user stops scrolling?

Answer 1

As of now the best way is to use android:fadeScrollbars="false" in xml which is equivalent to ScrollView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false); in java code.
