Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Because of the large number of audiobooks in my collection that I'm porting over to AudioBookShelf, I have divided my book list into several libraries. They are:

  • Non-Fiction
  • Great Courses, Modern Scholar, and Lectures
  • Fiction
  • Fiction Dramatized
  • Science Fiction & Fantasy
  • Science Fiction & Fantasy Dramatized
  • Classic Radio Dramas
  • DC Comics
  • Doctor Who
  • Lord of the Rings
  • Sherlock Holmes
  • Star Wars
  • Torchwood
  • Westerns
  • Westerns Dramatized
  • Soundscapes

When I bring up the library list in the Android app, I see the following:

There is no indication to the user that they need to scroll up to see the following:

Even when I hold my phone sideways:

And on my tablet:

Describe the solution you'd like

A scroll bar to indicate that there are more content available.

Describe alternatives you've considered

This is a in-app issue.

@advplyr commented on GitHub (May 3, 2024):

I'm not sure what the proper UI/UX design is for scrolling lists on mobile so hopefully a designer can provide an answer. Typically scrollbars aren't shown on mobile until you start scrolling but I couldn't find if this is handled differently for menus. I consulted material design docs and didn't find an answer.

I looked into why the scrollbar doesn't show once you start scrolling which is standard for browsers and it turns out this is a bug that has existed for 10 years with WebView https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40226034
