I do not want animation in the begin updates, end updates block for uitableview?

Question

I have a UITableView that is using a custom table cell and each cell has a UIWebView.

Because UIWebView took along time to load, i want to avoid reloading them at all cost. In some situations, I have all cells loaded, but their heights are messed up. Therefore, I need to "relayout" the table without triggering the "cellForRow" function.

1. I definitely cannot use reloadData... as it will reload the cells again.
2. I tried tableView.setNeedDisplay, setNeedsLayout etc, none of them is able to rearrange the table cells
3. The only way it worked, is to call beginupdates/endupdates block, this block is able to relayout my table without firing cellForRow! BUT, I didnt want the animation! This block produces an animation effect but i do not want it...

How can I solve my problem?

Answer 1

[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO]; [tableView beginUpdates]; [tableView endUpdates]; [UIView setAnimationsEnabled:YES];
