Add refreshControl to a scrollView with pageControl - ios

As it can be seen in the gif from the link, I was able to add the refresh control to the scrollView but it is only shown for the first page. It still works for the other pages but it is not showing the refresh indicator which might be confusing for the user.
I have tried already a couple of ideas but nothing seems to work.
I am looking for a solution, which either only makes it possible to use the refresh control on the first page and disables vertical scrolling for the other pages or a solution which shows the refresh indicator at every page.
I would also like to disable the diagonal dragging. I added this in case there is a solution which solves both problems.

Help will be very appreciated.

The indicator looks like it is probably added as a child of the scrollview, meaning it is scrolled along with the other contained views, and hence scrolled off-screen.
For an element you want to always be displayed over the scroll view add the indicator as a sibling of the scroll view (i.e. a subview of the scroll view's parent).

Move to Specific Page in ScrollView While Hiding Between Pages - iOS

I have Paged UIScrollVIew with 5 pages.
I have a problem where when I tap a button, I need to navigate from the 1st to 4th page. The problem is that it will show page 2 & 3 during this transition. I just want it to scroll to page 4 as if it were the next page in the scroll view.
Here is a diagram:
Any idea's on how to achieve this?
I think you'll have to reposition your pages within the scroll view to make that happen seamlessly. It probably means keeping track of what pages you've moved and perhaps a state engine that restores your original positions when you leave. It would probably be easier to make each page a subview and add that to your scroller, then you need just change each subviews frame as needed.

iOS: Stop ScrollView from making room when selecting textfield at top

I've scoured through several questions asking about how to prevent scrolling when selecting a first responder however nothing I find seems to work for this issue.
I have a UITextField above my table view at the very top of my page. When the user selects it (or when I do it programmatically) it drops down a bit, seemingly giving room for options such as "paste" or autocorrect (which I've disabled). I'd like to prevent this from happening.
I've tried setting the scroll position myself, which it initially does, but then it instantly jumps down a bit. Is there a way I can make the paste/edit bubble appear below the textfield (like it does with textfields in the header)? I'm thinking perhaps that will prevent it from jumping downwards, but I can't find information on this.
I'm completely stuck so any help is appreciated. Links, vague suggestions, whatever. Thank you.
Try embedding your text field in a scroll view the same size as your text field.
The reason why this should work is because when a text field becomes first responder, it only scrolls the scroll view that is its most recent ancestor in the view hierarchy. If it only finds the dummy scroll view, whose content size should not exceed its bounds size, then no scrolling should occur in either scroll view.

Embedded scrollview in tabbar item using storyboards won't scroll

For my current project I wanted to use storyboards and autolayout instead of coding everything by hand. It has gone well so far, but my design has a section of the app where there is a tab bar and one of those tab needs to show four views. The design is to swipe between the four and so I thought to use a scroll view. After some trial and error I found that embedding a Container View in the tab allowed me to easily set up a scroll view and put a couple of view inside it, carefully aligning them using positioning to put them side by side so that each page is one child view. I'm not sure how that plays with the autolayout, and in fact I have the problem that the scroll view won't scroll past the first page position. I can drag about 1/3 of the second page into view, but it never brings that page entirely in view.
I've checked the content size and offset and all of the view positions and it all seems correct. And when I use Spark Inspector to change the scroll offset to the position of the second view/page, the app shows the right page/view and I can even scroll back to the first page. I'm a bit perplexed as to what is causing it to not scroll properly. I don't have any code to show as this is all done in storyboards, but I am wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what is wrong?
Alternately, does anyone have an idea for how to use autolayout and storyboards to set up swiping four adjacent views in a tab? I suspect there are ways to do it. I can think of ways to do it in code, but I'm trying to avoid doing it that way.
EDIT: I set the scroll view delegate to the view controller around it and checked the values of contentSize on scrollViewWillBeginDragging and scrollViewDidScroll. It is always set to {0,0} even after I force set it on viewDidLoad. So I tried setting it every time scrollViewWillBeginDragging is called, which seems work, but I don't understand why this happens and it doesn't smell right. Is there some autolayout constraint that might account for this? Does something cause contentSize get set to {0,0} during the layout process?
For lack of any other answer, I'll use my unsatisfying solution as an answer in the hopes that helps someone else in the future:

I'd love to know why the contentSize is being reset if anyone finds out!

UIAutomation and reading static text in scroll view

I'm doing some UIAutomation testing using Xcode Instruments and have an issue accessing a staticText which I want to verify.
The situation:
I have some buttons that display different scroll views that contain multiple charts. These scroll views have 5+ items in each so when i initially do target.logElementTree() it only shows the visible ones. If i scroll down with window.scrollViews()[0].scrollDown() and again get a logElementTree() the bottom elements are shown however whenever i try to access them it keeps referring to the ones from the top of the scroll view.
Any ideas?
Cheers.
As per as my experience, whenever you do "taregt.logElementTree()", it will display you all the elements (visible & hidden or which are present even at the bottom of screen) which you can access by its name or index or position once scrolled down. But if you still face problem, I will recommend you to access the element by its position after scrolling down to make it visible.

Jquery Mobile Scrollview list height bug

When I load the page, my scrollview works perfectly, but when I navigate away from the main page and I try to return to it, the scrollview forgets where the top of the scrollview ought to be. It thinks that the place that I left the scrollview at before navigating away is the top of the list, and it thinks that the bottom of the list is somewhere beyond where the bottom actually is, thus it allows the user to scroll to far and then the scrollview disappears and cant be recovered unless i call scrollTo in the console.
I have tried doing scrollTo(0,0) on pagehide and beforepagehide with no luck -- the page will begin at the top when its shown, but it will immediately scroll down.
Here's how to reproduce the issue:
1) Go to http://7.latest.foodtrucksmap.appspot.com/m/la
2) Scroll down the list and select the detail disclosure on one of the cells.
3) Hit the 'Map' icon in the header to return to the original view.
At this point the scrollview will be in the state I've described.
Thanks a lot for the assistance in getting this resolved.
I resolved this by calling $('#list_content').scrollTop(0) on pageshow
