Android fixed background image in scrollview while scrolling

I have a situation where I need a scrollview to have a background image that shouldn't scroll along with it's parent when moving. Before any of you suggest me the links for setting background image and this that, I have already tried and it's not working.
The whole story goes like: I have an activity with fragments which have their own backgrounds with some input fields. When focusing over input fields, keyboard appears and background image squeezes. For that I put an image on background of scrollview that fixed my issue of squeezing background but raised another concern that background Image should stay static while scrolling the parent scrollview.
The second solution any of you may suggest is setting background of my activity rather playing with scrollview. That's right, but for that I had to make a style element with background of theme which appears odd while transitioning different fragments plus it adds overhead when I have a lot of code and fragments to move forward and back.
That's the point where I am stuck. I have gone through links below, if you just need to know that I tried it or not.
link1
link2
link3
... and so on
below is the layout I am using for my fragments (it's all being done programmatically)
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/top_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:scrollbars="none" >
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/backgroundView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:scaleType="fitXY" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/parent_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
So if you guys have any better solution keeping in mind the situation I have, will be warmly welcomed. Thank you

None of the above works for me with some reason but this things works.
getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.mipmap.img_reg_bg);
put it in oncreate method hope it will help.

If I guess right you try to fix your hotfix to get it working propperly. If I'm right you sould go back to scratch and do it without your scrollview.
If you have a look at following Link:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#wsoft
you'll see softkeyboard mode can be adjusted. "adjustPan" should solve your problem.
"adjustPan"
The activity's main window is not resized to make room for the soft keyboard. Rather, the contents of the window are automatically panned so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users can always see what they are typing. This is generally less desirable than resizing, because the user may need to close the soft keyboard to get at and interact with obscured parts of the window.

Add someimgage to your drawable folderes, like drawable-mdpi, drawable-hdpi.
In your LinearLayout "#+id/top_layout" add attribute:
android:background="#drawable/someimage"

Android - How to get ripple effect on GridView items?

I have implemented image gallery using GridView. The layout for the grid item:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/media_item"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:contentDescription="#string/thumbnail_for_image"
android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
<View
android:id="#+id/overlay_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackground" />
</FrameLayout>
My goal is to get this nice material ripple effect upon touching the grid item.
Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to find pure solution for my problem.
So I came up with using this, as author says, work around - adding overlay View on top of main ImageView, and setting background to
?attr/selectableItemBackground
Putting it to ImageView's background or parent FrameLayout background didn't work.
I'm sure, there must be a better way to handle it.

android:drawSelectorOnTop="true" in GridView did the trick

If you want this ripple to be supported in pre-lollipop versions I suggest you to use ripple libraries like The ones here. I guess using ?attr/selectableItemBackground won't give you ripple on pre-L androids.

Change the view background when an item from a ListView is activated/selected

I'm going to explain (or at least try that) what I want to achieve because this is driving me crazy.
I have a ListView and the items have the following layout:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/item_background"
android:duplicateParentState="true" >
... some contents here...
</FrameLayout>
</FrameLayout>
"item_background.xml" contains a selector so the background changes depending on the item's state. It's working fine when I press and release the item but it's not working when I 'select' the item with a DPAD/Trackball. I have tried everything (state_activated, state_focused, state_selected...) but nothing works. I'm trying to search for a solution but looks like I can't find the proper keywords to search for.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Finally I fixed it. The problem was in the order I put the items inside the selector (I put a state_pressed="false" before the state_selected="true").
Now it works flawlessly.
Thank you everyone for your help.

This does most likely not work because some layout above your root layout gets the focus (hard to tell without the rest of the layout).

Changing the color of over scroll in scrollview in android

I have a small problem with my scroll view. Whenever a scroll view has over scrolled, it shows a yellow gradient (in my device, it may vary for other devices) at edges of scroll view. It can be eliminated by setting attribute as below in android 2.3 and above.
android:overScrollMode="never"
Now i want to change the default color to some other. How to achieve this.
Please help me regarding this. Any help will be appreciated.

You should use the following attributes on your ListView :
<ListView
...
android:overScrollHeader="#drawable/header"
android:overScrollFooter="#drawable/footer"/>
You could also set them programatically using setOverscrollFooter(Drawable d) and setOverscrollHeader(Drawable d).

This EdgeEffectOverride library works nicely for all scroll-type views: https://github.com/AndroidAlliance/EdgeEffectOverride
E.g.
<uk.co.androidalliance.edgeeffectoverride.EdgeEffectScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
...
app:edgeeffect_color="#color/red"
/>
And
EdgeEffectScrollView gridView = (EdgeEffectScrollView) root.findViewById(R.id.myscroll);
gridView.setEdgeEffectColor(Color.RED);

Remove scroll bar track from ScrollView in Android

My Android app has a main WebView (HTML loaded from a local resource) which I want to use the entire width of the screen and be able to make (vertically) scrollable. So I've wrapped the WebView in a ScrollView in my layout XML, but no matter what I do I can't seem to be able to remove the scroll bar track from the right side of the scroll view. Even worse, I can't seem to be able to change the background colour of the scroll bar track.
The track takes up about 10dp's or so, which is creating problems for the HTML in the WebView. I'd like the scroll bar to appear on top of the web view (iPhone style, if you know what I mean). Now, you could say "why don't you change your HTML to be 10px thinner?", which is my fallback solution, but I'd much rather not have to.
Here's the relevant snippet of layout XML, you'll see I've tried every android:etc attribute I could find:
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/deal_web_view_holder"
android:layout_below="#id/clock_bar_holder"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fillViewport="false"
android:fadingEdge="none"
android:background="#02a7e9"
android:scrollbars="none"
android:scrollbarSize="0dp"
android:paddingRight="0dp"
android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="false"
android:scrollbarStyle="insideOverlay"
android:scrollbarTrackVertical="#drawable/scrollbar_track_vertical" >
<WebView
android:id="#+id/deal_web_view"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</ScrollView>
I'm targeting platform 2.1 / API lvl 7, really just dealing with normal size displays, mdp, hdp and xhdp.

To remove a scrollbar from a view (and its subclass) via xml:
android:scrollbars="none"
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#attr_android:scrollbars

try this is your activity onCreate:
ScrollView sView = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.deal_web_view_holder);
// Hide the Scollbar
sView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
sView.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setVerticalScrollBarEnabled%28boolean%29

I'm a little confused why you are putting a WebView into a ScrollView in the first place. A WebView has it's own built-in scrolling system.
Regarding your actual question, if you want the Scrollbar to show up on top, you can use
view.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY) or
android:scrollbarStyle="insideOverlay"

Solved my problem by adding this to my ListView:
android:scrollbars="none"

These solutions Failed in my case with Relative Layout and If KeyBoard is Open
android:scrollbars="none" &
android:scrollbarStyle="insideOverlay" also not working.
toolbar is gone, my done button is gone.
This one is Working for me
myScrollView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);

By using below, solved the problem
android:scrollbarThumbVertical="#null"
