UITableView scrolling to last cell only displays half of the cell

Question

I want to scroll to the bottom of my tableview that contains custom cells.

Here is the code I am using to scroll:

NSIndexPath *lastMessage = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:[self.conversation.messages count]-1 inSection:0];
[self.messageTable scrollToRowAtIndexPath:lastMessage atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop animated:YES];

This scrolls the view; however only the very top of the last cell is visible with ~3/4 of the cell still below the fold that I have to manually scroll down to. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Answer 1

Turned out to be a timing issue. The tableview hadn't fully rendered yet when I called that method from viewdidload (contentsize of 0). Calling this method in viewDidAppear works brilliantly though.

Answer 2

It seems like the UITableView is confused about how big your cells are. Set the rowHeight property on the UITableView to the height of your custom cell.
