Scrollbar not showing in RecyclerView

Question

I've got a RecyclerView and would like to have scrollbar showing, when it covers more than one page.

I get no scrollbar at all. Any idea?

My layout:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <CheckBox
        android:id="@+id/cl_only_empty"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:elevation="5dp"
        android:text="@string/cl_only_empty"
        android:textColor="@color/white" />

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/callsList"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:scrollbars="vertical" />

</LinearLayout>

Answer 1

The solution is to set the vertical (or horizontal) scrollbar in the xml layout:

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:scrollbars="vertical" />
