Change UICollectionViewCell size on different device orientations

Question

I am using an UICollectionView with UICollectionViewFlowLayout.

I set the size of each cell through the

collectionView:lay         


        

Answer 1

I solved using two UICollectionViewFlowLayout. One for portrait and one for landscape. I assign them to my collectionView dinamically in -viewDidLoad

self.portraitLayout = [[UICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc] init];
self.landscapeLayout = [[UICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc] init];

UIInterfaceOrientation orientationOnLunch = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation];

if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(orientationOnLunch)) {
    [self.menuCollectionView setCollectionViewLayout:self.portraitLayout];
} else {
    [self.menuCollectionView setCollectionViewLayout:self.landscapeLayout];
}

Then I simply modified my collectionViewFlowLayoutDelgate Methods like this

- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    CGSize returnSize = CGSizeZero;

    if (collectionViewLayout == self.portraitLayout) {
        returnSize = CGSizeMake(230.0, 120.0);
    } else {
        returnSize = CGSizeMake(315.0, 120.0);
    }

    return returnSize;
}

Last I switch from a layout to one other on rotation

- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation{
    if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(fromInterfaceOrientation)) {
        [self.menuCollectionView setCollectionViewLayout:self.landscapeLayout animated:YES];
    } else {
        [self.menuCollectionView setCollectionViewLayout:self.portraitLayout animated:YES];
    }
}
