I have UITableView.When view load i want to show the tableview without section.Also i have only one section of the tableview.I have referred much coding.But i am not satisfied with that.I have applied following coding in viewDidLoad.
[tableviewSetting deleteSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
self.editing = YES;
Even i applied above coding in viewDidLoad,it does not change anything.So if you guys anyone help for me,it will be better.Please tell me the explanation of above coding.
Few questions
Are you using group table?
Its iOS 7?
If you need to remove unrequited space of section from top (normally it should not be there), then try following code. It might work
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return 0.01;
}

I am using cells with two heights based on some status.
When start is StatusAwarded it shows full cell else it will show a part of it.
Here is the code to achieve this.
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
SomeClass *someClass = dataArray[indexPath.row];
if (someClass.status == StatusAwarded) {
return 252.0f;
}
return 110.0f;
}
It works all fine but when it is in edit mode, it has this issue as shown below.
I am having effect like this while editing (Deleting).
Question:
Why is this happening? How to fix this?
Note: Clip Subviews is set to YES
Try to enable Clip Subviews in Interface Builder / Storyboard.
You're not reloading the other cells, try:
[tableViewAdvancedBookings reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:[indexPathsToExpand allObjects] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
instead of:
[tableViewAdvancedBookings reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:#[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
which only reload the currect selected cell..
or maybe try reloading the whole table like:
[tableView reloadData];
and see what happen.. hope i've help, for some reason.. Good night, Cheers..
When a user taps a button in one of my rows I am updating the underlying model for that row and then calling reloadRowsAtIndexPaths for the given row (i.e. single row reload).
- (IBAction)handleCompleteTouchEvent:(UIButton *)sender {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForView:sender];
id item = [self dataForIndexPath:indexPath];
if ([item respondsToSelector:#selector(completed)]) {
// toogle completed value
BOOL completed = ![[item valueForKey:#"completed"] boolValue];
[item setValue:[NSNumber numberWithBool:completed] forKey:#"completed"];
[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:#[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
[self.tableView endUpdates];
}
}
The problem is that the table view bounces back to the top of the section after making this call. How can I prevent this from occurring and keep the scroll position where it is?
Ah Ha! I found the problem and am going to answer my own question for the poor soul who runs into this issue in the future.
All of my cells have variable height so I was using the new iOS7 method in UITableViewDelegate thinking it might speed up render time (not that I really needed it):
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
Anyway, implementing this method has the evil side effect of causing the table to bounce to the top of the section when calling:
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:#[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
To solve the bounce problem I just removed the override of that estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath method and now everything works as it should. Happy at last.
This did the trick for me.
UIView.setAnimationsEnabled(false)
tableView.reloadRows(at: [...], with: .none)
UIView.setAnimationsEnabled(true)
Swift 4.2
This can work anywhere you want to remove animation.
During reload of table , table section or any row
UIView.performWithoutAnimation({
cell.configureSelection(isSelected: true)
tableView.reloadSections([1], with: .none)
tableView.allowsSelection = false
})
You should be able to do what you are trying to do by changing the cell contents directly. For example, if you are using the base UITableViewCell class and the data in your model is a NSString which you show in the table view cell, you can do the following (after you change your data model) instead of calling reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
UILabel *label = [cell textLabel];
label.text = #"New Value";
If you are using a custom subclass of UITableViewCell, it's roughly the same except for accessing the views of the cell will need to be done through the contentView property.
It may be possible to put the cell in it's own section and call reload section:
[self.tableView reloadSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:1] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
this appears to fix the issue partially. Not the cleanest way but it may work for you.
In my similar case, I had to tweak the implementation of method
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
...
}
where my heights were being reset. So, instead of resetting height for every cell I updated only the effected cells for reloadRowsAtIndexPaths call.
If you know the minimum height of your cell, you must specify that while setting estimatedRowHeight. I was setting it to 1 as I have read before somewhere that any value above 0 would suffice the purpose, but it was the culprit.
When I set it to 44, which was the minimum height my cell could have, all went fine.
Dynamic heights were also working fine, no issues with this fix.
To build off xsee's answer -
I had set the Estimate in interface builder to "automatic". I changed this to another number and it started working. I kept Row Height to automatic.
I had the same issue. I ended up just calling tableView.reloadData() instead after updating my data / cell and it didn't bounce back to the top / data was updated in place - FYI
This solved this issue for me with Swift 5 / iOS 14:
UIView.performWithoutAnimation({
self.tableView.reloadRows(at: [self.idxTouched], with: .none)
})
I gave a look on QuizUp and I would like to make a similar menu on my iphone application.
I don't understand how they made the menu. It looks like a table view controller, but a new menu appears under the cell when the user tap on it.
Can someone give me some clues. Is it possible to do that with the native iOS SDK ? How ?
According to the developer of Quiz Up, the app was made using Cocos2D.
That being said, it is also possible to do it using a UITableView. Theres just a couple things you would need to do. The first is get tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: to return a different height for the row(s) you want to be expanded. For example, if you only want one row expanded you could use the following.
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if ([[tableView indexPathForSelectedRow] isEqual:indexPath]) {
return 100.0f;
}
return 44.0f;
}
Then what you need to do is call beginUpdates and endUpdates on your tableview whenever you want the height to update.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
[tableView beginUpdates];
[tableView endUpdates];
}
After that, you just need to layout your cell so that when it's expanded, it shows the additional view and when its collapsed it should hide that view.
I have a UITableView with a few different sections. One section contains cells that will resize as a user types text into a UITextView. Another section contains cells that render HTML content, for which calculating the height is relatively expensive.
Right now when the user types into the UITextView, in order to get the table view to update the height of the cell, I call
[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView endUpdates];
However, this causes the table to recalculate the height of every cell in the table, when I really only need to update the single cell that was typed into. Not only that, but instead of recalculating the estimated height using tableView:estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath:, it calls tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: for every cell, even those not being displayed.
Is there any way to ask the table view to update just the height of a single cell, without doing all of this unnecessary work?
Update
I'm still looking for a solution to this. As suggested, I've tried using reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:, but it doesn't look like this will work. Calling reloadRowsAtIndexPaths: with even a single row will still cause heightForRowAtIndexPath: to be called for every row, even though cellForRowAtIndexPath: will only be called for the row you requested. In fact, it looks like any time a row is inserted, deleted, or reloaded, heightForRowAtIndexPath: is called for every row in the table cell.
I've also tried putting code in willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath: to calculate the height just before a cell is going to appear. In order for this to work, I would need to force the table view to re-request the height for the row after I do the calculation. Unfortunately, calling [self.tableView beginUpdates]; [self.tableView endUpdates]; from willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath: causes an index out of bounds exception deep in UITableView's internal code. I guess they don't expect us to do this.
I can't help but feel like it's a bug in the SDK that in response to [self.tableView endUpdates] it doesn't call estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath: for cells that aren't visible, but I'm still trying to find some kind of workaround. Any help is appreciated.
As noted, reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: will only cause the table view to ask its UITableViewDataSource for a new cell view but won't ask the UITableViewDelegate for an updated cell height.
Unfortunately the height will only be refreshed by calling:
[tableView beginUpdates];
[tableView endUpdates];
Even without any change between the two calls.
If your algorithm to calculate heights is too time consuming maybe you should cache those values.
Something like:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
CGFloat height = [self cachedHeightForIndexPath:indexPath];
// Not cached ?
if (height < 0)
{
height = [self heightForIndexPath:indexPath];
[self setCachedHeight:height
forIndexPath:indexPath];
}
return height;
}
And making sure to reset those heights to -1 when the contents change or at init time.
Edit:
Also if you want to delay height calculation as much as possible (until they are scrolled to) you should try implementing this (iOS 7+ only):
#property (nonatomic) CGFloat estimatedRowHeight
Providing a nonnegative estimate of the height of rows can improve the
performance of loading the table view. If the table contains variable
height rows, it might be expensive to calculate all their heights when
the table loads. Using estimation allows you to defer some of the cost
of geometry calculation from load time to scrolling time.
The default value is 0, which means there is no estimate.
This bug has been fixed in iOS 7.1.
In iOS 7.0, there doesn't seem to be any way around this problem. Calling [self.tableView endUpdates] causes heightForRowAtIndexPath: to be called for every cell in the table.
However, in iOS 7.1, calling [self.tableView endUpdates] causes heightForRowAtIndexPath: to be called for visible cells, and estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath: to be called for non-visible cells.
Variable row heights have a very negative impact on your table view performance. You are talking about web content that is displayed in some of the cells. If we are not talking about thousands of rows, thinking about implementing your solution with a UIWebView instead of a UITableView might be worth considering. We had a similar situation and went with a UIWebView with custom generated HTML markup and it worked beautifully. As you probably know, you have a nasty asynchronous problem when you have a dynamic cell with web content:
After setting the content of the cell you have to
wait until the web view in the cell is done rendering the web content,
then you have to go into the UIWebView and - using JavaScript - ask the HTML document how high it is
and THEN update the height of the UITableViewCell.
No fun at all and lots of jumping and jittering for the user.
If you do have to go with a UITableView, definitely cache the calculated row heights. That way it will be cheap to return them in heightForRowAtIndexPath:. Instead of telling the UITableView what to do, just make your data source fast.
Is there a way?
The answer is no.
You can only use heightForRowAtIndexPath for this.
So all you can do is make this as inexpensive as possible by for example keeping an NSmutableArray of your cell heights in your data model.
I had a similar issue(jumping scroll of the tableview on any change) because I had
(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return 500; }
commenting the entire function helped.
Use the following UITableView method:
- (void)reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:(NSArray *)indexPaths withRowAnimation:(UITableViewRowAnimation)animation
You have to specify an NSArray of NSIndexPath which you want to reload. If you want to reload only one cell, then you can supply an NSArray that holds only one NSIndexPath.
NSIndexPath* rowTobeReloaded = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:0];
NSArray* rowsTobeReloaded = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:rowTobeReloaded, nil];
[UITableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:rowsTobeReloaded withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
The method heightForRowAtIndexPath: will always be called but here's a workaround that I would suggest.
Whenever the user is typing in the UITextView, save in a local variable the indexPath of the cell. Then, when heightForRowAtIndexPath: is called, verify the value of the saved indexPath. If the saved indexPath isn't nil, retrieve the cell that should be resized and do so. As for the other cells, use your cached values. If the saved indexPath is nil, execute your regular lines of code which in your case are demanding.
Here's how I would recommend doing it:
Use the property tag of UITextView to keep track of which row needs to be resized.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
...
[textView setDelegate:self];
[textView setTag:indexPath.row];
...
}
Then, in your UITextView delegate's method textViewDidChange:, retrieve the indexPath and store it. savedIndexPath is a local variable.
- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView
{
savedIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:textView.tag inSection:0];
}
Finally, check the value of savedIndexPath and execute what it's needed.
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (savedIndexPath != nil) {
if (savedIndexPath == indexPath.row) {
savedIndexPath = nil;
// return the new height
}
else {
// return cached value
}
}
else {
// your normal calculating methods...
}
}
I hope this helps! Good luck.
I ended up figuring out a way to work around the problem. I was able to pre-calculate the height of the HTML content I need to render, and include the height along with the content in the database. That way, although I'm still forced to provide the height for all cells when I update the height of any cell, I don't have to do any expensive HTML rendering so it's pretty snappy.
Unfortunately, this solution only works if you've got all your HTML content up-front.
I'm using a UITableView with static cells for the settings view of my application.
One of the sections of this table contains two cells, the second one only being visible when a UISwitch contained in the first one is turned on.
So the UISwitch's target is this:
- (void)notificationSwitchChanged:(id)sender
{
UISwitch* switch = (UISwitch*)sender;
self.bNotify = switch.on;
[self.settingsTable reloadSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:1] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
}
I implemented numberOfRowsInSection: this way:
(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (section != 1)
return [super tableView:tableView numberOfRowsInSection:section];
if (self.bNotify)
return 2;
return 1;
}
This "works", but the animation is faulty, making the first cell disappear or slide upwards halfway below the previous section or various stuff depending on the animation type I choose. The cleanest is UITableViewRowAnimationNone but is still not perfect.
If I scroll the section out of view and back it looks normal again.
EDIT: took a few screenshots of the problem:
I tried adding beginUpdates and endUpdates before and after reloadSections but it didn't change anything. Using reloadData instead of reloadSections works but there's no animation at all.
Is it because the table's cells are static or am I missing something?
I think this method should solve your problem.
[self.tableView insertSections:<#(NSIndexSet *)#> withRowAnimation:<#(UITableViewRowAnimation)#>];
Just update the data source (you dont have to because your are updating the section count depending on some flags) and call it.
Maybe you have to use this method instead.
[self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:<#(NSArray *)#> withRowAnimation:<#(UITableViewRowAnimation)#>];
