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

in the tableview delegate do something like this

- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)aScrollView {
    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;
    // NSLog(@"offset: %f", offset.y);   
    // NSLog(@"content.height: %f", size.height);   
    // NSLog(@"bounds.height: %f", bounds.size.height);   
    // NSLog(@"inset.top: %f", inset.top);   
    // NSLog(@"inset.bottom: %f", inset.bottom);   
    // NSLog(@"pos: %f of %f", y, h);

    float reload_distance = 10;
    if(y > h + reload_distance) {
        NSLog(@"load more rows");
    }
}

The best way is to test a point at the bottom of the screen and use this method call when ever the user scrolls (scrollViewDidScroll):

- (NSIndexPath *)indexPathForRowAtPoint:(CGPoint)point

Test a point near the bottom of the screen, and then using the indexPath it returns check if that indexPath is the last row then if it is, add rows.

Answer 3

in Swift you can do something like this. Following condition will be true every time you reach end of the tableview

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
        if indexPath.row+1 == postArray.count {
            println("came to last row")
        }
}

My solution is to add cells before tableview will decelerate on estimated offset. It's predictable on by velocity.

- (void)scrollViewWillEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView withVelocity:(CGPoint)velocity targetContentOffset:(inout CGPoint *)offset {

    NSLog(@"offset: %f", offset->y+scrollView.frame.size.height);
    NSLog(@"Scroll view content size: %f", scrollView.contentSize.height);

    if (offset->y+scrollView.frame.size.height > scrollView.contentSize.height - 300) {
        NSLog(@"Load new rows when reaches 300px before end of content");
        [[DataManager shared] fetchRecordsNextPage];
    }
}

Answer 5

None of the answers above helped me, so I came up with this:

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)aScrollView
{   
    NSArray *visibleRows = [self.tableView visibleCells];
    UITableViewCell *lastVisibleCell = [visibleRows lastObject];
    NSIndexPath *path = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:lastVisibleCell];
    if(path.section == lastSection && path.row == lastRow)
    {
        // Do something here
    }
}

UITableView is a subclass of UIScrollView, and UITableViewDelegate conforms to UIScrollViewDelegate. So the delegate you attach to the table view will get events such as scrollViewDidScroll:, and you can call methods such as contentOffset on the table view to find the scroll position.
