Hide scrollbar in FlatList (React Native) in Android

Viewed 137519

I am trying to use FlatList (React-native) in my app. I am using it horizontally and can see the scrollbar. There is an option in ScrollView to hide the scrollbar but not in FlatList. Has anyone been able to hide it some other way. I tried using the solution of parent & child container (Hide scroll bar, but still being able to scroll) but did not work.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Text, View, FlatList, StyleSheet, ScrollView } from 'react-native';
import { Card, Button } from 'react-native-elements';

const data = [
    { id: 1, title: 'title 1', details: 'details 1 details 1 details 1' },
    { id: 2, title: 'title 2', details: 'details 2 details 2 details 2 details 2 details 2 details 2' },
    { id: 3, title: 'title 3', details: 'details 3 details 3' },
    { id: 4, title: 'title 4 title 4', details: 'details 4' },
];
class CategoryRow extends Component {

    _keyExtractor = (item, index) => item.id;

    _renderItem = (item) => {
        return (
            <Card style={styles.cardContainer}>
                <Text>{item.title}</Text>   
                <Text>{item.details}</Text> 
            </Card>
        );
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <View style={{ flex: 1, overflow:'hidden' }}>
                <View style={{ overflow:'hidden' }}>
                    <Text>Category 1</Text>
                    <FlatList
                        horizontal
                        data={data}
                        renderItem={({ item }) => this._renderItem(item)}
                        keyExtractor={this._keyExtractor}

                    />
                </View>
            </View>
        );
    }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
    cardContainer: {
        width: 140,
        height: 150,
        borderWidth: 0.5,
        borderColor: 'grey',
        overflow: 'scroll',
    },
})

export default CategoryRow;

disable vertical and horizontal scroll indicator

<ScrollView
  showsVerticalScrollIndicator={false}
  showsHorizontalScrollIndicator={false}
 />

If you are trying to hide the vertical scrollbar use this:

showsVerticalScrollIndicator={false}

FlatList is inherited from VirtualizedList.
VirtualizedList is inherited from ScrollView.
So you can use ScrollView props to hide scrollBar indicators in FlatList.

<FlatList
  ...
  showsVerticalScrollIndicator ={false}
  showsHorizontalScrollIndicator={false}
  ...
/>

On my case using Animated version of the Flatlist fixed the problem:

<Animated.FlatList
  ...
  showsVerticalScrollIndicator ={false}
  showsHorizontalScrollIndicator={false}
  ...
/>
