}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"cell";
// Try to retrieve from the table view a now-unused cell with the given identifier.
cell = (uploadCustomCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"uploadCustomCell"];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[uploadCustomCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"uploadCustomCell"];
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"uploadCustomCell"
owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
saveBtnCcell.hidden = YES;
cell.textNamefield.hidden = YES;
[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
[cell.defaultSwitch setEnabled:NO];
dictionaryContents = [contents objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell
.nameLabelCell.text = [dictionaryContents valueForKey:#"VideoName"];
cell.userName.text = [dictionaryContents valueForKey:#"User"];
cell.thumbImg.image = [arrayimage objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString *defaultVideo = [dictionaryContents valueForKey:#"DefaultVideo"];
if ([defaultVideo isEqual: #"1"]) {
[defaultSwitche setOn:YES animated:YES];
}
else{
[defaultSwitche setOn:NO animated:YES];
}
[cell.defaultSwitch addTarget:self action:#selector(setState:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
VideoNameTextField.hidden = YES;
return cell;
}

Answer 1

You should listen to the keyboard notifications and change your table view frame to show the cell you want. Scrolling isn't enough as if the cell is at the bottom it will be hidden anyway
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillDisappear:)
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillAppear:)
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
object:nil];
}
-(void)viewDidUnload
{
[super viewDidUnload];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
}
-(void)keyboardWillAppear:(NSNotification *)note
{
CGRect tableViewFrame = self.tableView.frame;
// If your table view doesn't end at the bottom of the screen then this calculation of the height wouldn't be enough, you would need to take into consideration the distance between the screen bottom and the table view
tableViewFrame.size.height = tableViewFrame.size.height - [[note.userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size.height;
CGRect visibleFrame = CGRectZero;
visibleFrame.origin = self.tableView.contentOffset;
visibleFrame.size = tableViewFrame.size;
[UIView animateWithDuration:[[note.userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue]
delay:0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState | [[note.userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] intValue]
animations:^{
self.tableView.frame = tableViewFrame;
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
[self.tableView scrollRectToVisible:visibleFrame
animated:YES];
}];
}
-(void)keyboardWillDisappear:(NSNotification *)note
{
CGRect tableViewFrame = self.tableView.frame;
tableViewFrame.size.height = tableViewFrame.size.height + [[note.userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size.height;
[UIView animateWithDuration:[[note.userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue]
delay:0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState | [[note.userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] intValue]
animations:^{
self.tableView.frame = tableViewFrame;
}
completion:nil];
}

Answer 2

Try this
[self.myTableView setContentOffset:CGPointZero animated:YES];
OR
// Table View - Scroll to top
[self.myTableView scrollRectToVisible:CGRectMake(0, 0, 1, 1) animated:NO];
[self.myTableView reloadData];
Parameter
animated:YES show scrolling animation.
animated:NO display table after scrolling(no animation.)

Answer 3

You have to reload your tableView before scrolling it. I have added one line of code in your textFieldDidBeginEditing. PLease try this.
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
[self.tabelView1 reloadData];
NSArray *indexPathsForVisibleRows = [self.tabelView1 indexPathsForVisibleRows];
NSIndexPath *selectedIndexPath = [indexPathsForVisibleRows objectAtIndex:(indexPathsForVisibleRows.count/2)];
[self.tabelView1 scrollToRowAtIndexPath:selectedIndexPath atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop animated:NO];
}
Good Luck
