Question

I have a _TableView with items , and I want to set automatic refresh,and I don\'t want it to scroll on refresh , lets say user scrolled 2 pages down , and the refre

Answer 1

I'm doing it this way:

messages.insertContentsOf(incomingMsgs.reverse(), at: 0)
table.reloadData()

// This is for the first load, first 20 messages, scroll to bottom
if (messages.count <= 20) {
      let indexToScroll = NSIndexPath(forRow: saferSelf.messages.count - 1, inSection: 0)
      table.scrollToRowAtIndexPath(indexToScroll, atScrollPosition: .Top , animated: false)
}
// This is to reload older messages on top of tableview
else {
      let indexToScroll = NSIndexPath(forRow: incomingMsgs.count, inSection: 0)
      table.scrollToRowAtIndexPath(indexToScroll, atScrollPosition: .Top , animated: false)
      // Remove the refreshControl.height + tableHeader.height from the offset so the content remain where it was before reload
      let theRightOffset = CGPointMake(0, table.contentOffset.y - refreshControl.frame.height - table.headeView.frame.height)
      table.setContentOffset(theRightOffset, animated: false)
}

...also, since I use dynamic cell height, to avoid some weirdness, the estimation is cached:

var heightAtIndexPath = [NSIndexPath: CGFloat]()
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return heightAtIndexPath[indexPath] ?? UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    heightAtIndexPath[indexPath] = cell.frame.height
}
