Using CollectionView in UIView with xib file

Question

i\'m doing with this, i want to use CollectionView, but i haven\'t seen prototype cell, and don\'t know how to use CollectionView in this case, can someone help me ?

Answer 1

ok first you must have the IBOutlet of your collection view and implements the methods like this

class ViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource,UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout{



    @IBOutlet var collectionView: UICollectionView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {

        super.viewDidLoad()
        count = 9;
        let nib = UINib(nibName: "yourItemView", bundle: nil)
        collectionView.registerNib(nib, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "yourItemView")
        self.collectionView.delegate = self
        self.collectionView.dataSource = self


    }

ok in the function you add a xib file, next you must create that extend from UICollectionViewCell, and when you finish this you must override the next methods

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return count 
        // the numbers of items
    }

    func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGSize {//size of your item for screen sizes
        let wsize = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.width
        switch(wsize){
        case 414:
            return CGSize(width: 190, height: 102)
        case 375:
            return CGSize(width: 190, height: 102)
        case 320:
            return CGSize(width: 174, height: 102)
        default:
            return CGSize(width: 174, height: 102)
        }
    }



    func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {

        let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("yourItemView", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! yourItemView



        return cell
    }

and this is all, good luck
