How to scroll a UITableView to the tableFooterView

Question

I have a UITableView whose contents are dynamically changing, like a FIFO stack. Cells are added to the bottom and removed from the top.

This works beautifully, and I can scroll to the indexPath so that the newest message always scrolls down to the bottom (Like a chat application).

Now.. I want to add a footer to that table section. Instead of using

SrollToRowAtIndexPath

I would like to be able to scroll to the tableFooterView.

Any ideas how I can do that would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I am using this to scroll to the footer view of a tableView:

[self.tableView scrollRectToVisible:[self.tableView convertRect:self.tableView.tableFooterView.bounds fromView:self.tableView.tableFooterView] animated:YES];
