How can I set the scrolling position of an UIScrollView?

Question

I've seen the setContentOffset:animated: method. Is that going to scroll to a specific position, or what does that "offset" mean?

Answer 1

Yes. From the Apple documentation:

setContentOffset:animated: Sets the offset from the content view’s origin that corresponds to the receiver’s origin.

Answer 2

You can control the animation using

[UIView animateWithDuration:1.2 animations:^{_scrollView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(X, Y);}];
