I am facing problem in my app - you can post and edit your favorite places. After posting a post, or editing a specific post (UITableViewCell
), UITableview
is reloaded.
My problem is: the UITableview
scrolls to the top after reloading. But that's not what I want. I want my view to stay on the cell / view where I was. But I don't know how to manage that.
Could you help me?
Igor's answer is correct if you are using dynamically resizable cells (UITableViewAutomaticDimension)
Here it is in swift 3:
private var cellHeights: [IndexPath: CGFloat?] = [:]
var expandedIndexPaths: [IndexPath] = []
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willDisplay cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
cellHeights[indexPath] = cell.frame.height
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
if let height = cellHeights[indexPath] {
return height ?? UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}
return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}
func expandCell(cell: UITableViewCell) {
if let indexPath = tableView.indexPath(for: cell) {
if !expandedIndexPaths.contains(indexPath) {
expandedIndexPaths.append(indexPath)
cellHeights[indexPath] = nil
tableView.reloadRows(at: [indexPath], with: UITableViewRowAnimation.automatic)
//tableView.scrollToRow(at: indexPath, at: .top, animated: true)
}
}
}
To prevent scrolling to top, you should save heights of cells when they loads and give exact value in tableView:estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath
:
// declare cellHeightsDictionary
NSMutableDictionary *cellHeightsDictionary;
// initialize it in ViewDidLoad or other place
cellHeightsDictionary = @{}.mutableCopy;
// save height
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
[cellHeightsDictionary setObject:@(cell.frame.size.height) forKey:indexPath];
}
// give exact height value
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSNumber *height = [cellHeightsDictionary objectForKey:indexPath];
if (height) return height.doubleValue;
return UITableViewAutomaticDimension;
}
The UITableView
's reloadData()
method is explicitly a force reload of the entire tableView. It works well, but is usually jarring and a bad user experience if you're going to do that with a tableview that the user is currently looking at.
Instead, take a look at reloadRowsAtIndexPaths(_:withRowAnimation:)
and
reloadSections(_:withRowAnimation:)
in the documentation.
Just go for these lines if you want an easy solution
let contentOffset = tableView.contentOffset
tableView.reloadData()
tableView.setContentOffset(contentOffset, animated: false)
In swift 3.1
DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
self.TableView.reloadData()
self.TableView.contentOffset = .zero
})
