uicollectionview select an item immediately after reloaddata?

Question

After calling -[UICollectionView reloadData] it takes some time for cells to be displayed, so selecting an item immediately after calling reloadData do

Answer 1

I'm handling selection of cells in collectionView: cellForItemAtIndexPath:. The problem I found was that if the cell didn't exist, simply calling selectItemAtIndexPath: animated: scrollPosition: wouldn't actually select the item.

Instead you have to do:

cell.selected = YES;
[m_collectionView selectItemAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO scrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionNone];
