To populate UITableView from the bottom:
- (void)updateTableContentInset {
NSInteger numRows = [self.tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0];
CGFloat contentInsetTop = self.tableView.bounds.size.height;
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < numRows; i++) {
contentInsetTop -= [self tableView:self.tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:i inSection:0]];
if (contentInsetTop <= 0) {
contentInsetTop = 0;
break;
}
}
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(contentInsetTop, 0, 0, 0);
}
To reverse the order of elements:
dataSourceArray = dataSourceArray.reverseObjectEnumerator.allObjects;
Swift 4.2/5 version:
func updateTableContentInset() {
let numRows = self.tableView.numberOfRows(inSection: 0)
var contentInsetTop = self.tableView.bounds.size.height
for i in 0..<numRows {
let rowRect = self.tableView.rectForRow(at: IndexPath(item: i, section: 0))
contentInsetTop -= rowRect.size.height
if contentInsetTop <= 0 {
contentInsetTop = 0
break
}
}
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: contentInsetTop,left: 0,bottom: 0,right: 0)
}
Swift 3/4.0 version:
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(contentInsetTop, 0, 0, 0)
