Is there a way to hide the scroll indicators in a UIScrollView?

Question

I've got a use case where those indicators disturb the user interaction. Can I subclass and override a method or do something similar to remove the scroll indicators from the scroll view?

Answer 1

Set the showsHorizontalScrollIndicator and showsVerticalScrollIndicator properties of the UIScrollView to NO.

[tableView setShowsHorizontalScrollIndicator:NO];
[tableView setShowsVerticalScrollIndicator:NO];

Documentation - UIScrollView

Answer 2

//For UITableView - Objective-C

tbl.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
tbl.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;

//For UITableView - SWIFT 3.0

tbl.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false
tbl.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false

//For UIScrollView - Objective-C

scrl.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
scrl.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;

//For UIScrollView - SWIFT

scrl.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false
scrl.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false

Change from XIB or storyboard

Answer 3

For those looking to do this in Swift.

self.tableView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false
self.tableView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false

Answer 4

For UIScrollView in Swift

scrollView?.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false
scrollView?.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false

Answer 5

These are your UITableView scrolling properties:

[YourTableView setShowsHorizontalScrollIndicator:NO];
[YourTableView setShowsVerticalScrollIndicator:NO];

These are your UIScrollView scrolling properties:

[YourScroll setShowsHorizontalScrollIndicator:NO];
[YourScroll setShowsVerticalScrollIndicator:NO];

Answer 6

Swift 3.0 extension for UIScrollView and UITableView:

import Foundation

extension UIScrollView {
    func hideIndicators() {
        showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false
        showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false
    }
}
