UICollectionView shows only the first item

Question

I\'m working on a project similar to a video album. In that I\'m using UICollectionView to display the thumb images of those videos. The worst part is that I sh

Answer 1

you should never create ui elements in cellForRowAtIndexPath:. Subclass a collection view cell like so:

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        NSLog(@"INIT WITH FRAME FOR CELL");
        //we create the UIImageView here
        imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] init];
        imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
        imageView.frame = CGRectMake(cell.frame.origin.x , cell.frame.origin.y, cell.frame.size.width, (cell.frame.size.height - cell.frame.size.height/3));
        [self.contentView addSubview:imageView]; //the only place we want to do this addSubview: is here!
    }
    return self;
}

Then add that subclassed cell as a property and alter this code:]

[collectionView registerClass:[customCellClass class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"MyCell"];

The perform these changes:

-(customCellClass *) collectionView:(UICollectionView *)cV cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
   UICollectionViewCell *cell = (customCellClass *)[cV dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"MyCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];

    cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];

    imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[storeData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];

    return cell;
}

A final adjustment would be to move the the [super viewDidLoad] to this:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
     [super viewDidLoad];
     //insert the rest of the code here rather than before  viewDidLoad
}
