android - Controlling the color of the fading edge in ListViews

Question

I have a theme that derives from Android's default light theme. My ListViews are configured with a white background, and I guess as a side-effect of this, the color of the fading edge is white, which is not something that I want - I'd like them to be black.

It seems impossible to simply change the color of the edge (although I can control the length and other factors), and the usual suggestion of using a black color for listview's hint color results in some pretty horrible side-effects when the list scrolls.

Can anyone advise a reliable way of changing the color of the fading edge to an arbitrary color?

Answer 1

It's actually much easier then that.

You can change the colour of the fade to anything you want using the: 'android:cacheColorHint' setting.

eg:

<ListView
....
android:cacheColorHint="#FFFFFF"
/>
