Making the vertical scrollbar visible

I want to make the vertical scroll bar permanently visible. Currently the scroll bar appears only when I attempt to scroll the text view enclosed inside the scroll view. This is my XML declaration.

<ScrollView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_above="@id/radio_group"
    android:layout_margin="5dp"
    android:scrollbars="vertical" 
    android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true" >
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/question"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="20sp"
        android:textColor="#FF000000"
        android:textStyle="bold" />
</ScrollView>

Thank you for your time.

We can do it in 2 different ways as shown below.

Method 1: in your XML

android:scrollbars="vertical"

android:fadeScrollbars="false"

Method 2: in your Java Code

editText.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(true);

editText.setVerticalscrollbarFading(false);

View.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(boolean) seems to be what you're looking for (never tried it though). Here View is the ScrollView on which you want the scrollbars to not fade. And set the boolean value to be false.

if you do it dynamically, it shows runtime error and the scroll is not visible

EditText edit = (EditText) find ViewById(R.id.EditText1);
edit.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(true);
edit.setVerticalscrollbarFading(false);

there is no way to show it dynamically

You can set android:fadeScrollbars="false" in your ScrollView XML.
