Scroll Indicators Visibility

Question

Is there any way to make scroll indicators visible throughout the whole application ?[Scroll Indicators are visible only when I touch the scroll view area.]

Regards

You can set a timer and call

[NSTimer timerWithTimeInterval:.1 target:self selector:@selector(flashScrollIndicators) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIScrollView_Class/Reference/UIScrollView.html

Or manually call

- (void)flashScrollIndicators;

Right, it's a workaround. Better if you do it on separated thread. – elp Aug 02 '11 at 08:48
Sorry but what to tight in "- (void)flashScrollIndicators" ? – Akshay Aug 02 '11 at 09:03

If I saw any developers I know use this approach, I'd smack them upside the head. – memmons Apr 02 '13 at 16:36
@Götze call manually `[yourScrollview flashScrollIndicators];` – elp Apr 03 '13 at 14:34

You shouldn't: this go against the interface guideline. You can flash though the indicators as it has been already mentioned by other here with the : - (void)flashScrollIndicators;.

You can make them flash but that's it. You can't force an "always visible" state. Unless you code your own scrollbars entirely, just mimicking the look of the default ones.
