How To Show Custom Thumb When Using Fastscrollenabled

I have a listview of countries in non-alphabetic order and started using fastscroll. I would like to display the country-flag when scrolling with fastscroll but it seems like the A

Solution 1:

In your ListView XML definition, add

android:fastScrollEnabled="true"

or in code

listView.setFastScrollEnabled(true);

Create file fastscroll_thumb.xml in the res/drawable folder as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><selectorxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><itemandroid:state_pressed="true"android:drawable="@drawable/fastscroll_pressed" /><itemandroid:drawable="@drawable/fastscroll" /></selector>

In AndroidManifest.xml, set a custom theme for your application:

<applicationandroid:theme="@style/ApplicationTheme"...>

Create a values folder in the res folder. Create themes.xml files in res/values as follows:

<resources><stylename="ApplicationTheme"><itemname="android:fastScrollThumbDrawable">@drawable/fastscroll_thumb</item></style></resources>

Lastly make sure that fastscroll.png and fastscroll_pressed.png exist in your drawable folder

(optional) You can also set fast scroll always visible while you are debugging if you like

listView.setFastScrollAlwaysVisible(true);

or in XML

android:fastScrollAlwaysVisible="true"
