Setting contentOffset programmatically triggers scrollViewDidScroll

Question

This is not a direct answer to the question, but if you are getting what appear to be spurious such messages, it can ALSO be because you are changing the bounds. I am using some Apple sample code with a "tilePages" method that removes and adds subview to a scrollview. This infrequently results in additional scrollViewDidScroll: messages called immediately, so you get into a recursion which you for sure didn't expect. In my case I got a nasty impossible to find crash.

What I ended up doing was queuing the call on the main queue:

- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
    if(scrollView == yourScrollView) {
        // dispatch fixes some recursive call to scrollViewDidScroll in tilePages (related to removeFromSuperView)
        // The reason can be found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9418311
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ [self tilePages]; });
    }
}
