You can add these lines in your listview. It worked for me.

    android:fastScrollEnabled="true"
    android:scrollbars="none

set android:fastScrollEnabled="true" in properties of the listview. Also if you want fast scroll thumb to be visible always, set android:fastScrollAlwaysVisible="true"

then, in your xml definition of the listview, you would have something like this:

<ListView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:fastScrollAlwaysVisible="true"
    android:fastScrollEnabled="true" >
</ListView>

@aTa also add android:scrollbars="none" (as suggested below) and see if it works. And it is better to post your layout xml file here, so we can check it to detect the problematic properties. – yrajabi Sep 19 '12 at 13:23
