UICollectionView scroll to specific section

Question

Using Objective C and Xcode I have created a UICollectionView with 10 sections and all works fine. Is there anyway to set the section to which is viewed when first shown? By default it shows sections 0-9, but I want it to start at section 5.

Answer 1

You can call scrollToItemAtIndexPath:atScrollPosition:animated: in your viewDidAppear: method.

You can hold a reference to the cell you want to scroll to, then use indexPathForCell: to get the index path.

The following are the scroll positions you can choose from

UICollectionViewScrollPositionNone
UICollectionViewScrollPositionTop
UICollectionViewScrollPositionCenteredVertically
UICollectionViewScrollPositionBottom
UICollectionViewScrollPositionLeft
UICollectionViewScrollPositionCenteredHorizontally
UICollectionViewScrollPositionRight
