UITableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath example in Objective C (iOS).

UITableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath

Scrolls the receiver until a row identified by index path is at a particular location on the screen.

- (void)scrollToRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath atScrollPosition:(UITableViewScrollPosition)scrollPosition animated:(BOOL)animated

Parameters of [UITableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath]
indexPath
An index path that identifies a row in the table view by its row index and its section index.
scrollPosition
A constant that identifies a relative position in the receiving table view (top, middle, bottom) for row when scrolling concludes. See “Table View Scroll Position” for descriptions of valid constants.
animated
YES if you want to animate the change in position, NO if it should be immediate.

Discussion of [UITableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath]
Invoking this method does not cause the delegate to receive a scrollViewDidScroll: message, as is normal for programmatically-invoked user interface operations.
