UITableView row animation duration and completion callback

Question

Is there a way to either specify the duration for UITableView row animations, or to get a callback when the animation completes?

What I would like to do is flash the scroll indicators after the animation completes. Doing the flash before then doesn't do anything. So far the workaround I have is to delay half a second (that seems to be the default animation duration), i.e.:

[self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:newRows
                      withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
[self.tableView performSelector:@selector(flashScrollIndicators)
                     withObject:nil
                     afterDelay:0.5];

Answer 1

You could try to wrap the insertRowsAtIndexPath in a

- (void)beginUpdates
- (void)endUpdates

transaction, then do the flash afterwards.
