scrollViewDidEndDecelerating not executing

Question

I can't seem to get scrollViewDidEndDecelerating called. I have a scrollView with 2 Views inside. Now I need it to set a value to a label in the first view when the scrollview is finished scrolling to the second view.

Header File:

@interface ViewController: UIViewController
{
   UIScrollView *scrollView;
   UIView *view1;
   UIView *view2;
}

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *view1;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *view2;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lbl;

Implementation File:

@synthesize scrollView, view1, view2;

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
   self.view1=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
   self.view2=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(320, 0, 320, 480)];

   [self.scrollView addSubView:self.view1];
   [self.scrollView addSubView:self.view2];

   self.scrollView.bounces=NO;
   self.scrollView.contentSize=CGSizeMake(640,460);
   [self.scrollView setShowHorizontalScrollIndicator:NO];
   [self.scrollView scrollRectToVisible:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 416) animated:NO];
}

-(void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIView *)scrollView
{
   lbl.text=@"0";
}

I don't see anything wrong, it should be working. Can someone help me out? Would appreciate it.

Answer 1

This would do:

Header File:

@interface ViewController: UIViewController <UIScrollViewDelegate> //promise that you'll act as scrollView's delegate
{
   UIScrollView *scrollView;
   UIView *view1;
   UIView *view2;
}

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *view1;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *view2;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lbl;

Implementation File:

@synthesize scrollView, view1, view2;

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
   self.view1=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
   self.view2=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(320, 0, 320, 480)];

   [self.scrollView addSubView:self.view1];
   [self.scrollView addSubView:self.view2];

   self.scrollView.bounces=NO;
   self.scrollView.contentSize=CGSizeMake(640,460);
   [self.scrollView setShowHorizontalScrollIndicator:NO];
   [self.scrollView scrollRectToVisible:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 416) animated:NO];
   [self.scrollView setDelegate:self];//Set delegate
}

-(void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIView *)scrollView
{
   lbl.text=@"0";
}

Answer 2

scrollViewDidEndDecelerating is not called if the user is scrolling slowly (i.e. the scroll view does not continue to scroll on touch up). In that case the delegate calls scrollViewDidEndDragging. So to do something when the user has stopped scrolling and the scrollview has stopped you can combine them:

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate
{
   if(!decelerate) [self endOfScroll];
}

-(void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
  [self endOfScroll];
}

-(void)endOfScroll{
  //Do something
}

And in Swift

func scrollViewDidEndDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView, willDecelerate decelerate: Bool) {
  if !decelerate {
     endOfScroll()
  }
}

func scrollViewDidEndDecelerating(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
  endOfScroll()
}

func endOfScroll() {
  //Do something
}

Either connect the delegate property of the scrollview to the File's Owner object in Interface Builder or just set the delegate manually in your ViewController's ViewDidLoad.

scrollview.delegate = self
