I am developing a small application for tvOS where I need to show a UITextView.
Unfortunately sometimes this text can't fit inside the screen, that's why I need a way to scroll to the bottom of it programmatically.
I've tried using the following code:
self.setContentOffset(offset, animated: true)
It's actually working as intended, except for the fact that I need to handle the animation speed, so that the user can actually read; at the moment it's too fast.
This is what I tried to do, but with little success:
let offset = CGPoint(x: 0, y: contentSize.height - bounds.size.height)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 4, animations: {
self.setContentOffset(offset, animated: false)
})
I need a way to keep the text in place and scroll it to show the missing lines.
I am using a UITextView inside an UIScrollView.
Thanks.
If anyone is looking for a solution, this is what I ended up using:
var textTopDistance = 100
//calculate height of the text not being displayed
textNotVisibleHeight = descriptionLabel.contentSize.height - scrollView.bounds.size.height
func scrollText() {
//start new thread
DispatchQueue.main.async() {
//animation
UIView.animate(withDuration: 6, delay: 2, options: UIViewAnimationOptions.curveLinear, animations: {
//set scrollView offset to move the text
self.scrollView.contentOffset.y = CGFloat(self.textNotVisibleHeight - self.textTopDistance)
}, completion: nil)
}
}
It's not perfect I know, but at least it's working as intended.
