Android View - manipulate the shadow

In a listview or 开发者_运维知识库many of the scrollable views, there are on top and buttom a shading effect. I am not talking about the fading effect: It is the black color that appears on the top along with the fading effect. Actually even if i am not scrolling seems like this black color will stay! please check the image

How can this effect be removed? (maybe manipulate the color or sth)

You can manipulate the color of the fading edge with the android:cacheColorHint attribute, if thats what you're talking about and you haven't figured it out in the past 2 months - see This post in the android docs for details.
