Insert UITableView row without ANY animation

Question

[self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:@[[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:row inSection:0]] 
                      withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];


        

Answer 1

If you update the UITableView's dataSource and call [tableView reloadData] instead of manually inserting the row, the table will refresh without any animation.

Answer 2

This works for me:

[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO];
[self.tableView beginUpdates];

[self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:indexPath
                      withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];

[self.tableView endUpdates];
[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:YES];

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

This also works

[UIView performWithoutAnimation:^{
    [self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths:withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
});

Answer 4

Swift example (from my chat)

UIView.performWithoutAnimation {
        messagesTable.insertRows(at: [IndexPath(row: messages.count - 1, section: 0)], with: .none)
    }

Answer 5

Unfortunately, I ran into this same issue and there was no way for me to remove the animation.

Must be a bug with the UITableViewRowAnimationNone animation type since iOS (of any version) does not seem to respect it.
