UITableView page size when paging enabled

Question

I\'m facing with a simple but tedious problem. What I\'m trying to do is make an UITableView to page like an UIScrollView but enabling paging doesn\'t help me so much because I

Answer 1

Starting with k06a's answer, I've refined it a bit so it works more like the real paginated UITableView. The differences in behaviour are quite noticeable with full screen table rows. Even a mini-flick in either direction should scroll the table to the next page: I do this by checking velocity first.

- (void)scrollViewWillEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
                     withVelocity:(CGPoint)velocity
              targetContentOffset:(inout CGPoint *)targetContentOffset
{    
    CGFloat rowHeight = tableView.rowHeight;
    int verticalOffset = ((int)targetContentOffset->y % (int)rowHeight);
    if (velocity.y < 0)
    {
        targetContentOffset->y -= verticalOffset;
    }
    else if (velocity.y > 0)
    {
        targetContentOffset->y += (rowHeight - verticalOffset);
    }
    // No velocity, snap to closest page
    else
    {
        if (verticalOffset < rowHeight / 2)
        {
            targetContentOffset->y -= verticalOffset;
        }
        else
        {
            targetContentOffset->y += (rowHeight - verticalOffset);
        }
    }    
}

Note that additionally setting

 self.tableView.decelerationRate = UIScrollViewDecelerationRateFast;

in viewDidLoad: makes it closer to the real thing, but not quite.

I've been fiddling with setting even faster deceleration rates using the code shown here but I couldn't get it right.

More simple and more efficient :)

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate{

    if(decelerate) return;

    [self scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:scrollView];
}


- (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UITableView *)tableView {

    [tableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:[tableView indexPathForRowAtPoint: CGPointMake(tableView.contentOffset.x, tableView.contentOffset.y+tableView.rowHeight/2)] atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop animated:YES];
}

This works like real paging:

- (void)scrollViewWillEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView 
                     withVelocity:(CGPoint)velocity
              targetContentOffset:(inout CGPoint *)targetContentOffset
{
    int tomove = ((int)targetContentOffset->y % (int)self.tableView.rowHeight);
    if(tomove < self.tableView.rowHeight/2)
        targetContentOffset->y -= tomove;
    else 
        targetContentOffset->y += (self.tableView.rowHeight-tomove);
}

and make this in -viewDidLoad:

self.tableView.decelerationRate = UIScrollViewDecelerationRateFast;

Simple but efficient:

    - (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UITableView *)tableView {
            int tomove = ((int)tableView.contentOffset.y%(int)tableView.rowHeight);
            if(tomove < tableView.rowHeight/2) [tableView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, tableView.contentOffset.y-tomove) animated:YES];
            else [tableView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, tableView.contentOffset.y+(tableView.rowHeight-tomove)) animated:YES];
    }

    - (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UITableView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate {
            if(decelerate) return;

            [self scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:scrollView];
    }

And in Swift...

func scrollViewDidEndDragging(scrollView: UIScrollView, willDecelerate decelerate: Bool) {
    if !decelerate {
        self.scrollViewDidEndDecelerating(scrollView)
    }
}

func scrollViewDidEndDecelerating(scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    if let indexPathToScrollTo: NSIndexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForRowAtPoint(CGPointMake(self.tableView.contentOffset.x, self.tableView.contentOffset.y+tableView.rowHeight/2)) {
        self.tableView.scrollToRowAtIndexPath(indexPathToScrollTo, atScrollPosition: UITableViewScrollPosition.Top, animated: true)
    }
}
