Paging UICollectionView by cells, not screen

Question

I have UICollectionView with horizontal scrolling and there are always 2 cells side-by-side per the entire screen. I need the scrolling to stop at the begining

Answer 1

Also you can create fake scroll view to handle scrolling.

Horizontal or Vertical

// === Defaults ===
let bannerSize = CGSize(width: 280, height: 170)
let pageWidth: CGFloat = 290 // ^ + paging
let insetLeft: CGFloat = 20
let insetRight: CGFloat = 20
// ================

var pageScrollView: UIScrollView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Create fake scrollview to properly handle paging
    pageScrollView = UIScrollView(frame: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: CGSize(width: pageWidth, height: 100)))
    pageScrollView.isPagingEnabled = true
    pageScrollView.alwaysBounceHorizontal = true
    pageScrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false
    pageScrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false
    pageScrollView.delegate = self
    pageScrollView.isHidden = true
    view.insertSubview(pageScrollView, belowSubview: collectionView)

    // Set desired gesture recognizers to the collection view
    for gr in pageScrollView.gestureRecognizers! {
        collectionView.addGestureRecognizer(gr)
    }
}

func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    if scrollView == pageScrollView {
        // Return scrolling back to the collection view
        collectionView.contentOffset.x = pageScrollView.contentOffset.x
    }
}

func refreshData() {
    ...

    refreshScroll()
}

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()

    refreshScroll()
}

/// Refresh fake scrolling view content size if content changes
func refreshScroll() {
    let w = collectionView.width - bannerSize.width - insetLeft - insetRight
    pageScrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: pageWidth * CGFloat(banners.count) - w, height: 100)
}
