UICollectionView with ContentInset is not Scrolling all the Way Down
autolayout, ios, objective-c, scroll, uicollectionview
Solution
Today, by chance I discovered the solution!
Select your view controller and uncheck the option "Adjust Scroll View Insets".
With this option unchecked, iOS does not automatically adjust your insets of the view (and probably its subviews), which caused the problems for me ... Uncheck it and configure your scroll insets like this programmatically:
- (void)configureInsetsOfCollectionView
{
[_collectionView setContentInset: UIEdgeInsetsMake(self.navigationController.navigationBar.bounds.size.height + [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarFrame.size.height + DEFAULT_SPACING, 0.f, _keyboardHeight + _toolbar.bounds.size.height + DEFAULT_SPACING, 0.f)];
[_collectionView setScrollIndicatorInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(self.navigationController.navigationBar.bounds.size.height + [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarFrame.size.height, 0.f, _keyboardHeight + _toolbar.bounds.size.height, 0.f)];
}
Problem
I am setting the content inset of a UICollectionView: ``` [_collectionView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.f, 0.f, 100.f, 0.f)]; ``` Then I am scrolling programmatically all the way to the bottom of the UICollectionView with this method: ``` - (void)scrollToLastMessageAnimated:(BOOL)animated; { if (_messages.count == 0) { return; } NSUInteger indexOfLastSection = _messagesBySections.count - 1; NSInteger indexOfMessageInLastSection = [_messagesBySections[indexOfLastSection] count] - 1; NSIndexPath *path = [NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:indexOfMessageInLastSection inSection:indexOfLastSection]; [_collectionView scrollToItemAtIndexPath:path atScrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionCenteredVertically animated:animated]; } ``` It is scrolling down, but it is ignoring the contentInset, meaning that the last cells are below the specified content inset: The left image, shows how it appear now after the view did appear. In the right image, I manually scrolled further down to the last message. I am using AutoLayout, any ideas why this happens? EDIT: Here is a screenshot of the IB setup:
