How to detect how many cells are visible in a UITableView

Question

My table view covers part of the view. If I have 20 objects, I am displaying all of them in a tableview. But I want to know that how many cell are loaded that are visible to the user. (i.e. first 5 cells data is visible for me: when I scroll down, the remaining cells will load. Here I want to know without scrolling how many cell are loaded.)

Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can use [tableView visibleCells] count], which returns numbers of the table cells that are visible, if I understand correctly what you want.

Answer 2

The below code will give you the array of indexpath of cells currently visible

NSArray *visiblePaths = [self.tableView indexPathsForVisibleRows];

after getting the index path you can easily access the cell at a particular indexpath

Answer 3

Its usually : (tableView's height / cell row height ) + 1
