Reload tableview section without scroll or animation

Question

I am reloading a tableView section using this code -

self.tableView.beginUpdates() self.tableView.reloadSections(NSIndexSet(index: 1), withRowAnimation: UITableViewRowAnimation.None) self.tableView.endUpdates() 

Still the rows replacement is animated and the table view scrolls to the top.

How can I make sure that no animation will be applied to the section reload + prevent the table view from scrolling.

Answer 1

To prevent scrolling and animation, do this:

UIView.performWithoutAnimation {      let loc = tableView.contentOffset     tableView.reloadRows(at: [indexPath], with: .none)     tableView.contentOffset = loc }

Actually, the best way to prevent crazy animation during scrolling or expand/collapse cells is:

UIView.performWithoutAnimation {        self.tableView.reloadRows(at: [indexPath], with: .none) }
