How to set margin for Vertical Scrollbar from the right edge in ListView?

If you care about your design and want to apply the style globally use this.

res/values/styles.xml

<item name="android:scrollbarThumbVertical">@drawable/scrollbar</item>

res/drawable/scrollbar.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">    <item android:right="4dp"> <!-- Your Margin -->        <shape>            <solid android:color="@color/red500" /> <!-- Your Color -->            <corners android:radius="2dp" /> <!-- Your Radius -->            <size android:width="4dp" /> <!-- Your Width -->        </shape>    </item></layer-list>

All the other answers were created by developers, not designers like myself.

Refer to documentation on android:scrollbarStyle attribute of View. The style you probably want to use is insideOverlay (in conjunction with android:paddingRight).

Something like

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"    android:layout_width="fill_parent"    android:layout_height="fill_parent"    android:gravity="center_horizontal"    android:paddingRight="50dip">    <ListView        android:id="@+id/scrollable_table"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:scrollbarStyle="insideOverlay">    .    .    .

Try enabling fast scroll, it does the job most of the time:

<ListView    android:id="@+id/chapter_list"    android:layout_width="wrap_content"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:fastScrollEnabled="true"/>
