Autoscrolling of ion-view doesn't work on state change when overflow-scroll is true(native scrolling)

[mkoosej]

When I use native scrolling for my parent view after going back from the child state the scrollTop is set to 0. Where can I change this behavior. I know you can use auto-scroll in ui-view but what is the ionic way to do that.

I have this same question. I have created a demo of the issue here:

http://play.ionic.io/app/567d47509f42

Will the save-scroll-on-back feature work for native scrolling in the future?

From this post it looks like autoscroll IS working, but problem is that scrollToTop is being fired right BEFORE the transition, so it looks like the scroll postition gets lost.

Native Scrolling: Android Testers Wanted

Hi @perry glad you’re back. In my use case, when I change the state, the scroll is set to 0 (top) before the entry of the new view. So, actually it’s being remembered, but looks like its being wrongly set to top immediately before the transition to the next view, here is a codepen Steps: Scroll I little. Next is the problem, take attention to the scroll position while the transition occurs Tap/Click in any lego character Hit the back button

Later in the post someone puts a workaround, but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to put this workaround into my app:

Native Scrolling: Android Testers Wanted

I found a workaround for the scroll to top problem. I added a service decorator on $location to hide the Ionic $location decorator scrolling to top on every hash change. In my app config function I added: function $LocationDecorator($location) { $location.hash = function(value) { return $location.__hash(value); }; return $location; } $provide.decorator('$location', ['$delegate', $LocationDecorator]); Of course, it would be nice to get rid of these few lines and have …

Looks like many are having this issue, hopefully someone can find a solution especially since 1.0 just released.

I updated the demo code with the workaround by @benjaminbertin and it now works!

I forgot the injection of $provide in the requirements for the workaround, nice one @elliotwaite

I am using ionic v.1.1.0
Seems not fixed yet, I still need to use this workaround.

@elliotwaite Thanx for this workaround man! This works for me

Thanks for the workaround!

It looks like this issue is fixed in the latest codebase. So if you want to patch your ionic.bundle.js file instead of using this workaround, just update this line:

function $LocationDecorator
    ...
   if (isDefined(value)) { ...  // << update this line

to this:

   if (isDefined(value) && value.length > 0) { ...

P.S. It would be interesting if someone could work the GitHub blame tool and find the commit?
