How to get a UITableview to go to the top of page on reload?

Question

I am trying to get a UITableview to go to the top of the page when I reload the table data when I call the following from

- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component {      // A bunch of code...      [TableView reloadData]; } 

Along those same lines, I would also like to be able to go to a specific section when I reload the table data.

I tried placing the following, which seems applicable only to the row, before and after the reload, but nothing happens:

[TableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:0 atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop  animated:YES]; 

Answer 1

After reading all of the answers here and elsewhere, I finally found a solution that works reliably and does not show the scrolling after the data is loaded. My answer is based on this post and my observation that you need a negative offset if you are using content insets:

func reloadAndScrollToTop() {     tableView.reloadData()     tableView.layoutIfNeeded()     tableView.contentOffset = CGPoint(x: 0, y: -tableView.contentInset.top) } 

Answer 2

Here's another way you could do it:

Objective-C

[tableView setContentOffset:CGPointZero animated:YES]; 

Swift 3 and higher

tableView.setContentOffset(.zero, animated: true) 

Probably the easiest and most straight forward way to do it.
