Programmatically scroll a UIScrollView to the top

Question

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)

Answer 1

 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];

Answer 2

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)
        }
    }

}

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 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

Answer 5

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.

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?() }
        })
    }
}
