Hide scrollbar in ScrollView

Question

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

Answer 1

Now the scroll does not work anymore if u set android:scrollbars="none"

I have solved the problem with

  android:scrollbars="vertical" // or horizontal

and setting its size to 0 dp

  android:scrollbarSize="0dp"

Answer 2

In XML set android:scrollbars="none"

Answer 3

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
}

Answer 4

In my experience,

android:scrollbarThumbVertical="@null"

can cause NullPointerException in older devices. Use this instead:

android:scrollbarThumbVertical="@android:color/transparent"

Answer 5

For hiding a vertical scrollbar, do this in the XML:

android:scrollbarThumbVertical="@null"

And for Hiding horizontal scrollbar do this :

android:scrollbarThumbHorizontal="@null"

The above lines of codes will work if you want to hide the scrollbar without disabling it.

And for disabling a scrollbar, write this:

android:scrollbars="none"
