UITextView starts at Bottom or Middle of the text

Question

I\'ll get right to it. I have a UItextView placed in my view that when needs to scroll to see all the text (when a lot of text is present in the textView) the t

Answer 1

With a lot of testing, i found must add below in viewWillLayoutSubviews() function to make sure the UITextView show up from the very beginning:

override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewWillLayoutSubviews()            
    textViewTerms.scrollRangeToVisible(NSMakeRange(0, 0))
}

Answer 2

The following code should give you effect you want.

[self.scrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, -self.scrollView.contentInset.top) animated:YES];

You'll need to replace "self.scrollView" with the name of your scroll view. You should put this code in after you've set the text of the scroll view.

Answer 3

All of the answers above did not work for me. However, the secret turns out to be to implement your solution within an override of viewDidLayoutSubviews, as in:

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
  super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()

  welcomeText.contentOffset = .zero
}

HTH :)

Answer 4

In Swift 2

You can use this to make the textView start from the top:

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()

    myTextView.setContentOffset(CGPointZero, animated: false)
}

Confirmed working in Xcode 7.2 with Swift 2

Answer 5

This worked for me:

 override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewWillLayoutSubviews()
    textView.scrollRectToVisible(CGRect(origin: CGPointZero, size: CGSizeMake(1.0, 1.0)), animated: false)

}

Answer 6

I had to implement two answers here to get my view working as I want:

From Juan David Cruz Serrano:

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
    textView.setContentOffset(CGPoint.zero, animated: false)
}

And from Murat Yasar:

automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false

This gave a UITextView that loads with the scroll at the very top and where the insets are not changed once scrolling starts. Very strange that this is not the default behaviour.
