Answer 1

There is a simple way to do this. Here is the swift code. Assumes you want one item wide and in the example my cells are 64 pts high, and I want 8 pts for side margins, and finally collectionView is the name of your UICollectionView.

Insert this into viewDidLoad :

    let layout = collectionView?.collectionViewLayout as! UICollectionViewFlowLayout
    layout.itemSize = CGSize.init(width: (UIScreen.main.bounds.width - 16), height: 64.0)

This will set all the cells to default to that size. You can still override individual cells if you subclass UICollectionViewLayout or UICollectionViewFlowLayout, as mentioned in other answers. But if you simply want to have more table view like behavior this should work.
