UITableView insertRowAtIndexPaths then scrollToRowAtIndexPath draws cell twice

Question

Hi

I'm inserting a new cell into my table that I know will not be visible (I know it's off the bottom of the screen), so I then call scrollToRowAtIndexPath, e.g.

[tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:myIndexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationBottom];
[tableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:myIndexPath atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionBottom animated:YES];

However, when I do this I can actually see the cell getting drawn/animated twice, and removing the UITableViewRowAnimationBottom from the insert would mean that it would not be animated when the insertion should be visible (e.g. at the 2nd row).

Any ideas how I can fix this animation issue?

Thanks,
Paul

You could check whether the row is visible-- if visible, the skip the scroll, else use UITableViewRowAnimationNone. If you call UITableView's -cellForRowAtIndexPath: , it should return nil if the row is not visible.
