Auto Scroll for UIScrollView

Question

I used the setContentOffset method to automatically scroll to a specific point without user interaction.

[menuScrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(600.0,0) animated:YES]

but when I try to call the same method with a loop to slow down the scroll speed, the scroll will never happen

for (int i = 1; i<=30; i++) {
        [menuScrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(600.0-i*10,0.0) animated:YES];
        NSLog(@"%f",600.0-i*10);        
    }

During the above code snippet, UIScrollview scrolls only once (1st iteration (and it does not scroll for the remaining 29 interactions). What is the problem?

Answer 1

I think that when it is in such a cycle, the user interface will not be updated.

Try using NSTimer instead of putting it in such a closed loop.

scrollTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1 target:self selector:@selector(scrollView) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

- (void) scrollView {
    CGFloat currentOffset = menuScrollView.contentOffset.x;
    CGFloat newOffset = currentOffset - 10;
    [menuScrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(newOffset,0.0) animated:YES];
}

, UIScrollView : -

    ![CGFloat cx1;
    int h=0;
    int z=0;
    int x=1;
    bool isdragging=false;


- (void)setupHorizontalScrollView : (UIScrollView *)scrollView
{

    if (arrTopFive.count == 0) {
        return;
    }

    for(UIView *subview in \[scrollView subviews\]) {
        \[subview removeFromSuperview\];
    }

    scrollView.delegate = self;

    \[scrollView setBackgroundColor:\[UIColor clearColor\]\];
    \[scrollView setCanCancelContentTouches:NO\];

//    scrollView.indicatorStyle = UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleWhite;
    scrollView.clipsToBounds = NO;
    scrollView.scrollEnabled = YES;




    CGFloat cx = 0;
    for (int i = 0;i<arrTopFive.count;i++)
    {

        clsShows *c=\[arrTopFive objectAtIndex:i\];

        UIImageView *imageView = \[\[UIImageView alloc\] init\];
        imageView.userInteractionEnabled=YES;

        UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = \[\[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc\] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tvShowTopFiveClicked:)\];
        tapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
        \[imageView addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture\];
        imageView.tag=i;

        \[imageView sd_setImageWithURL:\[NSURL URLWithString:c.imageurl\] placeholderImage:\[UIImage imageNamed:@"img_placeholder.jpg"\]\];

        CGRect rect = imageView.frame;
        rect.size.height = 250;
        rect.size.width = 500;
        rect.origin.x = cx;
        rect.origin.y = 0;

        imageView.frame = rect;

        \[scrollView addSubview:imageView\];

        cx += imageView.frame.size.width+5;

    }

    \[scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(cx, \[scrollView bounds\].size.height)\];
    cx1=cx-\[scrollView bounds\].size.width;
