UITableView pull to refresh automatically - ios

I got a UITableViewController and the data of the list is get from the server.
Supporting scroll down to refresh data.
My question is when view did load. I don't want user use finger to pull it down get the data, but UITableView scroll down itself automatically and get data from server.
Edit:
Sorry, my question is there is a method named pullDownToRefresh, for example. If user use finger to pull down the tableView, the function is triggered. And now, I want to make tableview pull down by itself, and trigger the function automatically.
I also need to make tableView scrolls down. I tried beginRefreshing, but the tableView is not really scrolls down.

If I understand your question correctly, you need to programatically display the refresh control(without finger swipe) and reload your tableView.
UIRefreshControl's "beginRefreshing" method serves your purpose.
Create a UIRefreshControl property in your UITableViewController
Call beginRefreshing method on that property whenever needed
call endRefereshing method when you have completed refreshing, reloading your tableView

Is there a way to directly access UICollectionView elements without reloading?

I have another question open where I'm trying to figure out how to reload the collectionView without auto-scrolling. I was also realizing there are a lot of other situations where I will need to change things in the collection view. Also I have some items that I will want to change the .alpha on and change the text of. Is there a way to do all of this in Swift? For example (to be specific) if I have a collection view with a view in each cell and that view has a textField in it, can I change the alpha and text, (change alpha with animation even) without reloading entire table?
Look at the documentation for UICollectionView. There are several "reload" methods:
reloadData()
reloadSections(_:)
reloadItems(at:)
If you just want to reload a single item, update your data source's data and then call reloadItems(at:) passing in the index path for the item.
Another option, if a cell is currently visible, is to use the cellForItem(at:) method to get a reference to an existing cell. Then you can directly access UI components of the cell as needed. You should also update your data model as needed so if the user scrolls and comes back, the cell will be rendered properly.
Most appropriate where you can update your custom view of a particular UIcollectionViewcell is reloadItemsAtIndexPaths.
You would be handling a particular item than whole collectionview with reloadData.
You can handle it via notifications or some call backs in your code where you can make decision when to update which cell.
Hope it will help you.

UITableView does not respond normally when I scroll during loading

I have come across a very tedious problem. When I try to load data asynchronously and then finally call -reloadData the tableview does not decelerate upon a scroll event and does not respond to touch events. How can I prevent this from happening ?
There is a table view with some data in it. The user is manipulating the table as new data comes in asynchronously. The proper way to modify the table is to not use reload data, but to use the "insert..." methods, which leave existing cells alone.

how to create refresh button in UITableView

I want to create one application that read many data from json and show them in tableview.
I want to create one button that when to click on it this page for a second time to be refresh and take data from json (check json again and if this json changed tableview also changed)
I dont know how create this function that refresh this page and run code at first.
please tell me about it.
[self.tableView reloadData]
to load more data from webserver in to table
Put a button in header of section. I think that is the best place. In target method of that button call json and download all data. then call [self.tableView reloadData]. It will call all table methods like number of row , sections, cellForRow.
Why don't you use the Default RefreshControl provided in iPhoneSDK.
A UIRefreshControl object provides a standard control that can be used to initiate the refreshing of a table view’s contents. You link a refresh control to a table through an associated table view controller object. The table view controller handles the work of adding the control to the table’s visual appearance and managing the display of that control in response to appropriate user gestures.
Check this to learn about its implementation : Working with UIRefreshControl
You can place a UIToolBar above the tableview. In that you can have a barbutton, to which you could give an action to fetch the data again. Once the data fetch is done, call
[self.tableview reloadData];

How to refresh a UITableView in iphone?

I have a UI table view loading data from network. If the user move the finger on one cell, one button will be displayed, just like iPhone style delete button. If the user click this button, the value of one label in the cell will be changed accordingly. However, I didn't find any way to make table view to re-draw this cell, except for reload the whole table. I don't want to use reload data method, because I just need change the value in one cell instead of the whole table. Any suggestion on this?
Take a look at the method
- (void)reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:(NSArray *)indexPaths withRowAnimation:(UITableViewRowAnimation)animation
Calling this method will result in your table view's data source asking its delegate for information about that cell.
For future reference, I found this very easily by checking the documentation on UITableView. I suggest you do that in the future before posting here.

Updating a UITableView's data

In my application, I have a UITableView with a few rows (let's call it TV1), now, at the bottom of these rows is a row that drills down into another (TV2). This new TV2 asks you which type of data you would like to add to the first view. Then, when the user selects which kind, they're brought to another view, in which they fill in some fields, the data is saved, and they're sent back to TV1, however, the data they entered, isn't loaded and I'm not really sure how to do this. Any ideas?
Maybe you did this already, but how about using [TV1 reloadData];? This forces the entire table to reload, yet there are also more specific methods for reloading just the cells that have been altered. See also the documentation: UITableView
Reload your table view by calling [self.tableView reloadData] in the viewcontroller's viewWillAppear: method. It will be called when the user switches back to your view. Right before it is actually put on screen.
