I found that I can control the scrolling speed of an Android ListView using code like this in a Fragment:

@Overridepublic void onStart() {    super.onStart();    // scroll speed decreases as friction increases. a value of 2 worked    // well in an emulator; i need to test it on a real device    getListView().setFriction(ViewConfiguration.getScrollFriction() * 2);}

I did this because the default ListView scroll speed is too fast by default, and as a result, it’s hard on the eyes when you scroll through a lot of items.
