I have a few screens worth of content within my UIScrollView which only scrolls vertically.
I want to programmatically scroll to a view contained somewhere in it's hierarchy.
The UIScrollView move so that the child view is at the top of the UIScrollView (either animated or not)
Here's an extension I ended up writing.
Usage:
Called from my viewController, self.scrollView is an outlet to the UIScrollView and self.commentsHeader is a view within it, near the bottom:
self.scrollView.scrollToView(self.commentsHeader, animated: true)
Code:
You only need the scrollToView method, but leaving in scrollToBottom / scrollToTop methods too as you'll probably need those too, but feel free to delete them.
extension UIScrollView {
// Scroll to a specific view so that it's top is at the top our scrollview
func scrollToView(view:UIView, animated: Bool) {
if let origin = view.superview {
// Get the Y position of your child view
let childStartPoint = origin.convertPoint(view.frame.origin, toView: self)
// Scroll to a rectangle starting at the Y of your subview, with a height of the scrollview
self.scrollRectToVisible(CGRect(x:0, y:childStartPoint.y,width: 1,height: self.frame.height), animated: animated)
}
}
// Bonus: Scroll to top
func scrollToTop(animated: Bool) {
let topOffset = CGPoint(x: 0, y: -contentInset.top)
setContentOffset(topOffset, animated: animated)
}
// Bonus: Scroll to bottom
func scrollToBottom() {
let bottomOffset = CGPoint(x: 0, y: contentSize.height - bounds.size.height + contentInset.bottom)
if(bottomOffset.y > 0) {
setContentOffset(bottomOffset, animated: true)
}
}
}
scrollView.scrollRectToVisible(CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: 1, height:
1), animated: true)
or
scrollView.setContentOffset(CGPoint(x: x, y: y), animated: true)
Another way is
scrollView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(x,y);
and i do it with animated like this
[UIView animateWithDuration:2.0f delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveLinear animations:^{
scrollView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(x, y); }
completion:NULL];
scrollView.setContentOffset(CGPoint, animated: Bool)
Where the point's y coordinate is the y coordinate of the frame of the view you want to show relatively to the scrollView's content view.
Here is my answer, this is in swift. This will scroll the pages in scrollview infinitely.
private func startBannerSlideShow()
{
UIView.animate(withDuration: 6, delay: 0.1, options: .allowUserInteraction, animations: {
scrollviewOutlt.contentOffset.x = (scrollviewOutlt.contentOffset.x == scrollviewOutlt.bounds.width*2) ? 0 : scrollviewOutlt.contentOffset.x+scrollviewOutlt.bounds.width
}, completion: { (status) in
self.startBannerSlideShow()
})
}
For scroll to top or bottom with completion of the animation
// MARK: - UIScrollView extensions
extension UIScrollView {
/// Animate scroll to bottom with completion
///
/// - Parameters:
/// - duration: TimeInterval
/// - completion: Completion block
func animateScrollToBottom(withDuration duration: TimeInterval,
completion: (()->())? = nil) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: duration, animations: { [weak self] in
self?.setContentOffset(CGPoint.zero, animated: false)
}, completion: { finish in
if finish { completion?() }
})
}
/// Animate scroll to top with completion
///
/// - Parameters:
/// - duration: TimeInterval
/// - completion: Completion block
func animateScrollToBottomTop(withDuration duration: TimeInterval,
completion: (()->())? = nil) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: duration, animations: { [weak self] in
guard let `self` = self else {
return
}
let desiredOffset = CGPoint(x: 0, y: -self.contentInset.top)
self.setContentOffset(desiredOffset, animated: false)
}, completion: { finish in
if finish { completion?() }
})
}
}
For me, the thing was the navigation bar which overlapped the small portion of the scrollView content. So I've made 2 things:
- Size Inspector - Scroll View - Content Insets --> Change from Automatic to Never.
- Size Inspector - Constraints- "Align Top to" (Top Alignment Constraints)- Second item --> Change from Superview.Top to Safe Area.Top and the value(constant field) set to 0
