Hiding the scroll bar in WebView

I want to hide a vertical scroll bar in my WebView when I do not scroll the page. As for now, it is displayed always. I create a WebView programmatically, so my question is related to customization of the scroll bar programmatically. Thanks!

This finally worked for me:

mWebView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);

Try this -

For vertical scrollbar -

webView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false)

For Horizontal scrollbar -

webView.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);

No need to change your Java code.
It will work if you put android:scrollbars="none" in your XML.

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:scrollbars="none" />

Set scrollbars to none in the XML for WebView. For reference try this code.

<WebView android:id="@+id/webView"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:scrollbars="none"/>

setScrollbarFadingEnabled() method does exactly what you want. It hides scrollbar when the view isn't scrolling.

webView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(true);

Similar to other answers but to get a scrollbar that behaves like the one in ListView, this is the code:

webView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(true); // Explicitly, however it's a default, I think.
webView.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);

This is what you are after:

mWebView.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
