UIScrollView scrolled after setContentSize - ios

So I want to create some detail content in UIView(320,470) that taller than Viewport (320, 367).
I create it separated in IB like (see pic.). Everything looks OK until I setContentSize to make the UIScrollView scrollable..
This is my code placed in ViewDidLoad
CGRect frame = self.uiContent.frame;
[self.uiScrollView addSubview:self.uiContent];
[self.uiScrollView setContentSize:frame.size];
The content is scrolled with animation to middle after setContentSize is called.. How to prevent that auto-scroll?

I found the culprit.. It was UITextView. Sorry if I don't mention I use UITextView for multiline label under address label.
Quoting "Taketo Sano" on other question : https://stackoverflow.com/a/5673026/453407
I've investigated how the auto-scroll is done by tracking the
call-trace, and found that an internal [UIFieldEditor
scrollSelectionToVisible] is called when a letter is typed into the
UITextField. This method seems to act on the UIScrollView of the
nearest ancestor of the UITextField.
UIScrollView is auto scrolled to UITextView when UITextView text is changed. So I found the solution by subclassing UIScrollview and override
- (void)scrollRectToVisible:(CGRect)rect animated:(BOOL)animated {
and return nothing to disable the auto scroll... If you plan to use it in future, just use a bool variable to enable / disable it by using
- (void)scrollRectToVisible:(CGRect)rect animated:(BOOL)animated {
if (!self.disableAutoScroll) {
[super scrollRectToVisible:rect animated:animated];
}
}
so you can disable the autoscroll before you change the UITextView by code and enable it after.

When UITextView is scrolling ...?

I have a textView which is not editable so my textView is only readable. And there is a ImageView on the top of textView. I want that, when the textView is scrolling, ImageView (Y position) disappear slowly depends on How many the textView scrolled.. If I should give an example, it looks like Twitter "Me" page but non blurred. I hope I was clear.
First of call UIScrollViewDelegate, make your viewcontroller delegate to self.Because it's subclass of UIScrollview.
and implement scrollView function according to your need.Suppose you want to disappear image after scrolling finished. then implement this method.
- (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
NSLog(#"Finished scrolling");
}

keep area outside scrollview also scrollable

I have a scrollview where I have added different views (like tutorial).
What I wanted to have is slider with below design where on scroll I will see previous tut on left side and next on right side.
For this what I have added is scrollview with paging enabled and adding UILabel (for now) in for loop. After adding label in scrollview below is what I had.
To see the data on the left & right, what I did is uncheck clip subviews from storyboard.
However what I noticed is I can scroll only in scrollview area and not outside.
Any idea how can I make UILabel make scrolling outside & inside scrollview.
As of now to make it working, what I have done is added swipe gesture on view and making scrolling programmatically. However what I was looking is if I scroll outside scrollview, it should scroll scrollview little too.
Phewww...
Finally I managed to make it done..
What I did is added one more scrollview (dummyScrollView) with full screen width above main scrollview (mainScrollView) (which I am using to show label).
Now I enabled paging for the dummyScrollView too and implement below where I am scrolling my mainScrollView based on the factor calculation for the dummyScrollView
#pragma mark - UIScrollView Delegate
- (void) scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)sender
{
float myFactor = 0;
// 44232 is tag for new scrollview
if (sender.tag==44232) {
myFactor = mainScrollView.frame.size.width/duplicateSV.frame.size.width;
myFactor = duplicateSV.contentOffset.x*myFac;
CGRect mCC = CGRectMake(myFactor, 0, mainScrollView.frame.size.width, mainScrollView.frame.size.height);
[mainScrollView scrollRectToVisible:mCC animated:NO]; // NO is very important... YES will not work
}
// 44231 is main scrollview tag where I won't be doing anything...
if (sender.tag==44231) {
}
}

UITextView content offset changes after setting frame

I'm building a view that's very similar to the messages app - I have a subview at the bottom of the page with a UITextView in it and as the user types and reaches the end of the line the text view as well as the view containing it should expand upward.
The way I have it working is that in the textViewDidChange: method I call my layout function, and that does
CGFloat textViewWidth = 200;
CGFloat textViewHeight = [self.textView sizeThatFits:CGSizeMake(textViewWidth, 2000)].height;
[self resizeParentWithTextViewSize:CGSizeMake(textViewWidth, textViewHeight)];
// And then the resize parent method eventually calls
textView.frame = CGRectMake(10, 10, textViewWidth, textViewHeight);
The problem is that when typing at the end of line and the view expands, I end up with an arbitrary contentOffset.y of something like 10.5 on the text view so the text is all shifted up to the top of the view. Weirdly, it's alternating on every other line, so expanding the first time leaves the y content offset shifted up, then at the next line it's close to zero, then back to 10.5 on the next line, etc. (not sure if that's helpful or just a strange artifact of my values). I can set it back to zero afterwards but it looks terrible because there's a brief flash where the text has the offset value and then it gets shifted back to the middle.
I've read that it's usually better to use content insets for scroll views rather than changing the frame, but I don't get how to do that because I do need to change the frame size as well.
How can I resize the UITextView without this happening? I think I can get by with setting the text view not to be scrollable and that fixes the issue, but I'd like to understand what's going on.
The problem is that UITextView's scroll animation and your frame setting action were happened at the same time.
UITextView internally scrolls the texts you currently typing to visible when typed one more character at the end of the line or typed the new line character. But the scroll animation does not need because you are expanding the textview. Unfortunately we can't control textview's internal scroll action so the text scrolls to the top of the expanded textview weirdly. And that weird scroll makes unnecessary bottom padding too.
You can avoid this weird action very simply with overriding UITextView's setContentOffset:animated: like this.
Objective-C
- (void)setContentOffset:(CGPoint)contentOffset animated:(BOOL)animated {
[super setContentOffset:contentOffset animated:NO];
}
Swift
override func setContentOffset(_ contentOffset: CGPoint, animated: Bool) {
super.setContentOffset(contentOffset, animated: false)
}
This code avoids the auto sizing UITextView's unnecessary scroll animations and you can expand the size of the text view freely.
Setting textView.scrollable = NO lets me resize the text view without any strange offsets, that's the only way I've been able to figure out. And I guess it's not too much of a limitation for common scenarios, if you want the text view to be scrollable you probably don't need to resize it on the fly since the user can scroll around as the content changes.
I confronted the same issue: changing the UITextView's frame to fit its content had a side effect on the scroll position being wrong. The UITextView scrolled even when the contentSize was fitting the bounds.
I ended up with setting scrollEnabled to true and with rolling the content offset back if the UITextView is not actually scrollable
override var contentOffset: CGPoint {
didSet {
if iOS8 {
// here the contentOffset may become non zero whereas it shouldn't be
if !isContentScrollable && contentOffset.y > 0 {
contentOffset.y = 0
}
}
}
}
var isContentScrollable: Bool {
let result = ceil(contentSize.height) > ceil(height)
return result
}
Actually, I faced the same issue and found that actually this happens only when UITextView has any Autolayout constraints. If you will try to use UITextView without applying any Constraint then this will not happen and will work fine. but, as you apply Auto layout constraints it automatically scrolls to bottom. To deal with this I just add method
-(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews{
[super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
self.textView.contentOffset = CGPointZero;
}

iOS8 - keyboard input accessory view with dynamic height

We have a UITextView with a keyboard input accessory - the accessory is another UIView with a few buttons and another UITextView that grows in height as needed to display a message. (similar to what you see in iMessage)
Everything works fine up through iOS7 and the input accessory grows upward above the keyboard when we update the frame size. But with iOS8, the accessory view grows downward extending over the predictive text and keyboard.
Is there a new way to tell the iOS8 keyboard view to relayout the accessory views? I've tried calling ReloadInputViews() and it doesn't seem to change anything.
Stuck on this - thanks for the help.
I override the addConstraint method on my view as apple sets a constraint with constant height for iOS8. This seems to solve the issue.
I meet this problem too. What I do is override inputAccessoryView's layoutSubviews method and make the height is a fixed number. like this:
- (void)layoutSubviews {
if (self.height > 38) {
self.height = 38;
}
}
PS:
what strange is when your inputAccessoryView's height is above 50,inputAccessoryView will not grows downward.

Can't scroll both UIScrollView in UITableViewCell and the UITableView itself

My pure AutoLayout UITableViewCell looks like this in Interface Builder:
UITableViewCell
|-> UITableViewCell.contentView
|-> UIView (ScrollViewContainerView)
|-> UIScrollView
|-> left (fixed)
|-> center (fill remaining)
|-> right (fixed)
The UIScrollView contains a left, center, and right UIView. left and right are both fixed width, while center expands to fill the remainder of the UIView. The UIScrollView constraints are to align all edges to ScrollViewContainerView. ScrollViewContainerView constraints are to align all edges to the UITableViewCell.contentView. I have a constraint on center's width to be a multiple of ScrollViewContainerView's width, so the UIScrollView scrolls left and right, but the height is fixed and does not scroll. Note that the UIScrollView has been subclassed to include this code so that the UITableView can detect a tap on the cell to toggle selection.
The issue is that I currently can either scroll the UITableView containing these UITableViewCells up and down or I can scroll the UIScrollViews in the UITableViewCells left and right, not both.
When ScrollViewContainerView.userInteractionEnabled == YES, I can't scroll the UITableView up and down, but I can scroll the UIScrollView left and right. When ScrollViewContainerView.userInteractionEnabled == NO, I can scroll the UITableView up and down, but I can't scroll the UIScrollView left and right. userInteractionEnabled == YES on everything else in the above hierarchy.
I can get away with having ScrollViewContainerView as a sibling view to the UIScrollView (making the UIScrollView the direct descent of contentView -- can't get rid of this view completely, because I require it to get the dimensions for the UIScrollView frame). In that case, the opposite handling with userInteractionEnabled holds.
I know I've done this before in other projects before, but starting fresh again, I can't seem to figure out what step I'm missing. Currently using Xcode 6 6A215l targeting iOS 8, though I have reproduced the issue under Xcode 5 targeting iOS 7.
It sounds like the scrollview is causing your tableview to not allow userInteraction when being scrolled. I'm sure that if you called - (void)scrollViewDidEndScrollingAnimation:(UIScrollView *)scrollView in the UIScrollView delegate (not sure for iOS 8), but you could just do
- (void)scrollViewDidEndScrollingAnimation:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
if(scrollView.dragging == YES) {
self.<scrollViewName>.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
}
}
This is untested code, but it's just a bit of help to get you where you need to go.
Hope it helps!
I met some similar problem.
I have a scrollView in tableViewCell. All works fine.
Until one day, someone told me that the tableView can't scroll up/down when finger is touched on the scrollView in 6p. Just in 6p, not in 5, 5s,or6.
This makes me almost crazy.
Finally, I set the scrollView's height smaller than the height in storyboard.
Biu ~ It works~~~
Still, I don't know why.
#user2277872's answer put me on the right track to look at the output of the UIScrollView delegate methods of the UIScrollView in my UITableViewCell subclass. Putting an NSLog() in scrollViewWillBeginDragging: made me notice that the UIScrollView was receiving scrolling events while I was trying to scroll the UITableView. My UIScrollView had a contentSize larger than its frame in both directions, but I've forced that view to only scroll horizontal, so ignored the height and reset it. That force was my undoing and I should have known it at the time -- the correct solution is to fix the frame height. If the UIScrollView doesn't think there is more vertical content, it will correctly forward the swipe up/down gesture to the UITableView.
While I attempt to figure out why my contentSize is too large when it wasn't before (thinking I'm missing a clipToBounds somewhere), what I'm doing to force horizontal scrolling temporarily is (in the UITableViewCell's subclass):
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
[super drawRect:rect];
CGSize contentSize = self.scrollView.contentSize;
contentSize.height = self.frame.size.height;
self.scrollView.contentSize = contentSize;
}
EDIT: Actually, this is seemingly better than overriding drawRect. This would be in the UIScrollView subclass:
/*
* Lock to horizontal scrolling only.
*/
- (void)setContentSize:(CGSize)contentSize
{
[super setContentSize:CGSizeMake(contentSize.width, 1)];
}
The height struct member isn't too important, as long as it's guaranteed to be smaller than the frame.size.height of the UITableViewCell. Still hacky, still need to find why I could clip before and not now.
