IPhone App: UIScrollView scrolls to bottom when it loads - iphone

I have a detail view for a contact. The last field is a Textview that can be as short as 1 line and as long as 20. in the viewDidLoad method I use:
scrollView.contentSize = self.view.frame.size;
My problem is that when the data is displayed, the scroll view scrolls to the bottom on its own. Obviously I would like it to start at the top.
I used the Content offset with the bottom value set to about 300 to allow the view to even be able to scroll down far enough. I have tried to disable scrolling until the load is finished but then it just locks you at the bottom.
As you can probably tell I am new at iPhone Programming. Any ideas?

Set contentOffset to 0.
Then, go and read the docs. you're using the scroll view completely wrong.
UITextView is scrollable, so it's unclear why you're sticking it in a scroll view.

How can I make ScrollView full screen? I placed the necessary constraints, but it doesn't work

I'm trying to make a ScrollView so that its size adjusts to the size of the text. I placed all the necessary constraints
, but when the application is displayed on the simulator, the content view starts from the safe area and also ends up to the safe area. Although I have pinned scroll view to superview and content view to scroll view.
I want the content to start not from the safe area like here ,
but from the start of the screen like here
in other words, I want to remove the blue bar from the top and bottom
Do you have any ideas how to do it?
Sometimes UITableView & UIScrollView can still show safe area even though you attach your View to top of Super View. You just need to add one line to solve this issue but make sure your ScrollView is connected to superView not safe area at the top.
Add scrollView to your ViewController and in viewDidLoad() just write:
scrollView.ContentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never

Another problem I have is that when I run the iphone app on the simulator, it can only scroll down too the button 13 even though there are 15 buttons on my view controller.

Thanks for your help.
you can scroll the scrollView on the storyboard. Scroll down and then add buttons.
You need to set a size appropriate for Scroll ContentSize. Take a note at that.
Please do provide more info from. Its gonna make the resolution process easy.
Take a look at this link for solid ScrollView intro:

In the storyboard... Just make the view bigger. In your case, you want to change the height:
For the problem of not being able to scroll across all your images. You need to make sure the scroll view is pinned to all four sides of the parent view and that the height and width are all set-up for the content inside the scroll view. (make sure there are no warnings associated with the scroll view in the storyboard.)

How to make a scrollable view in iOS?

i am looking to create an "options" page for my application and because they are many , the screen of the phone is not enough to show.
So i need the user to be able to scroll down the view to see more options till the last. I know i should use the scrollview , but i dont know how.
All the tutorials i ve found are about scrolling all over the screen , zooming , scrolling from left to right , but nothing on how u can create a simple page scrolling up and down.
How exactly do i do that? Do i make many .nib files and somehow i connect them? Do i make a big .nib file?
Can someone guide me to a tutorial on that?
Use ContentSize property of UIScrollView to scroll what ever area you want. i.e.
take UIScrollView add it on UIView with exist height of iPhone. i.e. max 460.0
So ScrollView frame will be max (0,0,320.0,460.0).
Now after adidng ScrollView to View set ContentSize property to upto scrollable area.
[self.mainScrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(self.mainScrollView.frame.size.width, 1000.0)];
UIScrollView *mainScroll = [[[UIScrollView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x,y,w,h)]autorelease];//scrollview width and height
mainScroll.scrollEnabled = YES;
mainScroll.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
mainScroll.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = YES;
mainScroll.contentSize = CGSizeMake(width,height);//width and height depends your scroll area
..........
//add subviews to your scrollview.....
[mainScroll addSubview:view1]
............
[mainScroll addSubview:view2]
..............
[mainScroll addSubview:view3]
[self.view addSubview:mainScroll];
Note :: contentSize property determines your scroll
area.Scrolling
enabled only if your scrollview content larger than scrollview height..
You could use a Table View with static Cells, that will scroll automatically if it needs to, much easier. Also with a Table View you can choose to scroll up, down, left, right, set bouncing etc from the Attributes Inspector.
Make only 1 nib file.
give height of scroll view large as you want.
then place your buttons , textfeild on scroll view
There are two ways :
make settings bundel for your app check this Press Me
to make UITableView with custom cells >> it is easy if you use

Make Area Page-able

How Can I make the green area of the screen shot of my app be able to scroll with the paging animation and page indicators?I would like for me to add more icon-buttons to it with keeping the header the same size.
First you need a scroll view and your view has to be inside of the scroll view.
Then you need to enable paging on the scroll view
[scrollView setPagingEnabled:YES];
If the value of this property is YES, the scroll view stops on multiples of the scroll view’s bounds when the user scrolls. The default value is NO.
If you want to have page indicators you need to use UIPageControlwhich you will have to manage yourself as far as I know. You could always check after scrolling (see UIScrollViewDelegate ) which page you are on based on the contentOffset property of the scroll view.

Mimic behaviour of UITableView section headers staying visible during scroll

When you have a sectioned, plain-style tableview on the iPhone, such as in the Contacts app, the section headers remain visible when you scroll past them until they are pushed offscreen by the next section header.
Does anyone know how to achieve something like this in an ordinary scrollview? I already have one scrollview nested in another to get horizontal paging with vertical smooth-scrolling, so I'm reluctant to add a third scrollview.
Cheers
Basically I did a bunch of maths in scrollViewDidScroll: and set the frame of the subview.
Edit:
Well my exact requirements were a bit different than the question I asked, I have a footer view as opposed to a header view. Basically in scrollViewDidScroll I have:
CGRect frame = self.footerView.frame;
frame.origin.y = MIN(self.bounds.size.height -
self.footerView.frame.size.height +
self.contentOffset.y,
self.contentSize.height);
self.footerView.frame = frame;
This ensures the footer view, which is a subview of the scroll view, is always visible at the bottom of the scroll view, and there is never a gap between the footer view and the bottom of the content view.
