iPhone - knowing if a UIScrollView reached the top or bottom

Implement the UIScrollViewDelegate in your class, and then add this:

-(void)scrollViewDidScroll: (UIScrollView*)scrollView{    float scrollViewHeight = scrollView.frame.size.height;    float scrollContentSizeHeight = scrollView.contentSize.height;    float scrollOffset = scrollView.contentOffset.y;    if (scrollOffset == 0)    {        // then we are at the top    }    else if (scrollOffset + scrollViewHeight == scrollContentSizeHeight)    {        // then we are at the end    }}

Hope this is what you are after! Else have a tinker by adding more conditions to the above code and NSLog the value of scrollOffset.

Well, contentInsets are also involved, when you try to determine whether scrollView is at the top or at the bottom. You might also be interested in cases when your scrollView is above the top and below the bottom. Here is the code I use to find top and bottom positions:

Swift:

extension UIScrollView {    var isAtTop: Bool {        return contentOffset.y <= verticalOffsetForTop    }    var isAtBottom: Bool {        return contentOffset.y >= verticalOffsetForBottom    }    var verticalOffsetForTop: CGFloat {        let topInset = contentInset.top        return -topInset    }    var verticalOffsetForBottom: CGFloat {        let scrollViewHeight = bounds.height        let scrollContentSizeHeight = contentSize.height        let bottomInset = contentInset.bottom        let scrollViewBottomOffset = scrollContentSizeHeight + bottomInset - scrollViewHeight        return scrollViewBottomOffset    }}

Objective-C:

@implementation UIScrollView (Additions)- (BOOL)isAtTop {    return (self.contentOffset.y <= [self verticalOffsetForTop]);}- (BOOL)isAtBottom {    return (self.contentOffset.y >= [self verticalOffsetForBottom]);}- (CGFloat)verticalOffsetForTop {    CGFloat topInset = self.contentInset.top;    return -topInset;}- (CGFloat)verticalOffsetForBottom {    CGFloat scrollViewHeight = self.bounds.size.height;    CGFloat scrollContentSizeHeight = self.contentSize.height;    CGFloat bottomInset = self.contentInset.bottom;    CGFloat scrollViewBottomOffset = scrollContentSizeHeight + bottomInset - scrollViewHeight;    return scrollViewBottomOffset;}@end

If you want the code in swift:

override func scrollViewDidScroll(scrollView: UIScrollView) {    if (scrollView.contentOffset.y >= (scrollView.contentSize.height - scrollView.frame.size.height)) {        //reach bottom    }    if (scrollView.contentOffset.y <= 0){        //reach top    }    if (scrollView.contentOffset.y > 0 && scrollView.contentOffset.y < (scrollView.contentSize.height - scrollView.frame.size.height)){        //not top and not bottom    }}
