Remove scrollbar from android support design navigation drawer?

Question

I just updated the support design library from 22.2.1 to 23.0.1 and immediately noticed the presence of a scrollbar in the navigation drawer. I tried to use

android:scrollbars="none"

But that didn't fix it. Is there any other way to remove the scrollbar?

Unfortunately the scrollbar is set in the NavigationMenuView layout not in the NavigationView, for this reason if you use android:scrollbars="none" the scrollbar is still present.

You can do it programmatically calling this method:

private void disableNavigationViewScrollbars(NavigationView navigationView) {
    if (navigationView != null) {
        NavigationMenuView navigationMenuView = (NavigationMenuView) navigationView.getChildAt(0);
        if (navigationMenuView != null) {
            navigationMenuView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
        }
    }
}
