How to add margin to scrollbar in edit text-CodePudding

I am trying to add some margin to the scrollbar inside of an editText but I am not sure how to do that, given the scrollbar is inside of the editText itself ("scrollbars=horizontal"). The way it comes automatically is too close to the text and I need it to be farther away, is there a way to do that?

I have a custom style for the scrollbar and it already looks the way it does in the picture, except for the distance, maybe there's a way to adjust the margins there? So far, only the right margin works, the top and bottom one make the bar disappear. It needs to look like this:

if you set margin on top, the scrollbar will disappear into the container above. try changing the position of the scparent

You can set android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay" and control the margin of the scrollbar using android:paddingBottom

Demo:

<EditText
    android:id="@ id/name_text"
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent"
    android:fadeScrollbars="false"
    android:paddingBottom="8dp"
    android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawHorizontalTrack="false"
    android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"
    android:scrollbarThumbHorizontal="@drawable/scrollview_thumb"
    android:scrollbars="horizontal" />

scrollview_thumb.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="#C2C3C3" />
    <corners android:radius="15dp" />
    <size android:width="5dp" />
</shape>
