Hide Listview scrollbar in Xamarin.Forms (C# - Xaml)

Introduction:
A Xamarin.Forms ListView is a view that displays a collection of data as a vertical list. There are some situations when we want to hide default vertical/horizontal scrollbar for listview in xamarin.forms. So we can learn it from this article.
Requirements:

• This article source code was prepared by using Visual Studio Professional for Mac (7.6.9). And it is better to install latest visual studio updates from here.
• This sample project is Xamarin.Forms .NetStandardLibrary project and tested in Android emulator and iOS simulators.
• Used Xamarin.Forms version is 3.1.0.697729.

Description:
Update: From Xamarin.Forms version 3.5.0, we can use VerticalScrollBarVisibility, HorizontalScrollBarVisibility properties to handle ListView ScrollBarVisibility.

However for older versions, we can hide default ListView scrollbar using custom renderers.

1. Xamarin.Android Project:
In Android project, create a class name is CustomListViewRenderer and make sure to add renderer registration for our ListView class on above of the namespace.

1. using Xamarin.Forms;  
2. using HideListViewScroll.Droid.Renderers;  
3. using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android;  
4.   
5. [assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(ListView), typeof(CustomListViewRenderer))]  
6. namespace HideListViewScroll.Droid.Renderers  
7. {  
8.     public class CustomListViewRenderer : ListViewRenderer  
9.     {  
10.         protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<ListView> e)  
11.         {  
12.             base.OnElementChanged(e);  
13.   
14.             if (Control != null)  
15.             {  
16.                 Control.VerticalScrollBarEnabled = false;  
17.                 Control.HorizontalScrollBarEnabled = false;  
18.             }  
19.         }  
20.     }  
21. }  

2. Xamarin.iOS Project:

In iOS project, create a class name is CustomListViewRenderer and make sure to add renderer registration for our ListView class on above of the namespace.

1. using System;  
2. using Xamarin.Forms;  
3. using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS;  
4. using System.ComponentModel;  
5. using HideListViewScroll.iOS.Renderers;  
6.   
7. [assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(ListView), typeof(CustomListViewRenderer))]  
8. namespace HideListViewScroll.iOS.Renderers  
9. {  
10.     public class CustomListViewRenderer : ListViewRenderer  
11.     {  
12.         protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<ListView> e)  
13.         {  
14.             base.OnElementChanged(e);  
15.   
16.             if (Control != null)  
17.             {  
18.                 Control.ShowsVerticalScrollIndicator = false;  
19.                 Control.ShowsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false;  
20.             }  
21.         }  
22.     }  
23. }
