How to know when UITableView did scroll to bottom

Question

I would like to know when a UITableView did scroll to bottom in order to load and show more content, something like a delegate or something else to let the controller know when the table did scroll to bottom.

Does anyone know this, please help me, thanks in advance!

Answer 1

add this method in the UITableViewDelegate:

-(void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{   
    CGFloat height = scrollView.frame.size.height;

    CGFloat contentYoffset = scrollView.contentOffset.y;

    CGFloat distanceFromBottom = scrollView.contentSize.height - contentYoffset;

    if(distanceFromBottom < height) 
    {
        NSLog(@"end of the table");
    }
}

Answer 2

Modified neoneyes answer a bit.

This answer targets those of you who only wants the event to be triggered once per release of the finger.

Suitable when loading more content from some content provider (web service, core data etc). Note that this approach does not respect the response time from your web service.

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)aScrollView
                  willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate
{
    CGPoint offset = aScrollView.contentOffset;
    CGRect bounds = aScrollView.bounds;
    CGSize size = aScrollView.contentSize;
    UIEdgeInsets inset = aScrollView.contentInset;
    float y = offset.y + bounds.size.height - inset.bottom;
    float h = size.height;

    float reload_distance = 50;
    if(y > h + reload_distance) {
        NSLog(@"load more rows");
    }
}

Answer 3

I generally use this to load more data , when last cell starts display

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
   if (indexPath.row ==  myDataArray.count-1) {
        NSLog(@"load more");
    }
}

Answer 4

Building on @Jay Mayu's answer, which I felt was one of the better solutions:

Objective-C

// UITableViewDelegate
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

// Need to call the service & update the array
if(indexPath.row + 1 == self.sourceArray.count) {
    DLog(@"Displayed the last row!");
  }
}

Swift 2.x

// UITableViewDelegate
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    if (indexPath.row + 1) == sourceArray.count {
        print("Displayed the last row!")
    }
}

Answer 5

I want perform some action on my any 1 full Tableviewcell.

So the code is link the :

-(void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
    NSArray* cells = self.tableView.visibleCells;
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = nil ;

    for (int aIntCount = 0; aIntCount < [cells count]; aIntCount++)
    {

        UITableViewCell *cell = [cells objectAtIndex:aIntCount];
CGRect cellRect = [self.tableView convertRect:cell.frame toView:self.tableView.superview];

        if (CGRectContainsRect(self.tableView.frame, cellRect))
        {
            indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:cell];

    //  remain logic
        }
     }
}

May this is help to some one.

Update for Swift 3

Neoneye's answer worked best for me in Objective C, this is the equivalent of the answer in Swift 3:

func scrollViewWillEndDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView, withVelocity velocity: CGPoint, targetContentOffset: UnsafeMutablePointer<CGPoint>) {
    let offset: CGPoint = scrollView.contentOffset
    let bounds: CGRect = scrollView.bounds
    let size: CGSize = scrollView.contentSize
    let inset: UIEdgeInsets = scrollView.contentInset
    let y: CGFloat = offset.y + bounds.size.height - inset.bottom
    let h: CGFloat = size.height
//        print("offset: %f", offset.y)
//        print("content.height: %f", size.height)
//        print("bounds.height: %f", bounds.size.height)
//        print("inset.top: %f", inset.top)
//        print("inset.bottom: %f", inset.bottom)
//        print("position: %f of %f", y, h)

    let reloadDistance: CGFloat = 10

    if (y > h + reloadDistance) {
            print("load more rows")
    }
}
