Is there a way to disable/edit the fading that a list view has at its edges?

android user-interface listview fade scrollview

Scrollable views such as the ListView have a fade out of the content along the edges where there is more content in that direction. How can I turn this fading off? I know you can change the cacheColorHint as discussed here: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/listview-backgrounds.html but that is not what I am looking for and will not achieve what I am looking for in this case.

I want to disable the fade completely or be able to reduce the size and or transparency of it. Is this possible?

I can't actually test it right now, but I believe fadingEdge is what you're looking for:

android:fadingEdge="none"

or

listView.setVerticalFadingEdgeEnabled(false);

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setVerticalFadingEdgeEnabled(boolean)
