Hide scrollbar in ScrollView

I have an app with a ScrollView, and I don\'t want the scrollbar to appear on the screen. How can I hide the scrollbar in a ScrollView while making sure scrolling still work

Kotlin Solution

If you need to do this programmatically, you can set either one or both of:

scrollView.isHorizontalScrollBarEnabled = false
scrollView.isVerticalScrollBarEnabled = false

If you'll be applying both regularly, try adding this extension

fun ScrollView.noScrollbars() {
    isHorizontalScrollBarEnabled = false
    isVerticalScrollBarEnabled = false
}

To easily allow switching, you can add an optional boolean

fun ScrollView.noScrollbars(hide: Boolean = true) {
    isHorizontalScrollBarEnabled = !hide
    isVerticalScrollBarEnabled = !hide
}
