Placing a margin around each edge of the UICollectionView

Question

When the UICollectionView is populated with items they always go right to the edges of the UICollectionView like so:

---------------
|X X X X X X X|
|X X X X         


        

Answer 1

In

(UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)cv cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
}

you can give your cells some margin on the left side.

Or you can create custom cells, which have a margin.

or you can set the property .sectionInset of your CollectionviewFlowLayout, which should be the easiest way (if you use FlowLayout)
