UICollectionView current visible cell index

Question

I am using UICollectionView first time in my iPad application. I have set UICollectionView such that its size and cell size is same, means only onc

Answer 1

try this, it works. (in the example below i have 3 cells for example.)

    func scrollViewDidEndDecelerating(scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    let visibleRect = CGRect(origin: self.collectionView.contentOffset, size: self.collectionView.bounds.size)
    let visiblePoint = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(visibleRect), CGRectGetMidY(visibleRect))
    let visibleIndexPath = self.collectionView.indexPathForItemAtPoint(visiblePoint)
    if let v = visibleIndexPath {
        switch v.item {
        case 0: setImageDescription()
            break
        case 1: setImageConditions()
            break
        case 2: setImageResults()
            break
        default: break
        }
    }

Answer 2

converting @Anthony's answer to Swift 3.0 worked perfectly for me:

func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {

    var visibleRect = CGRect()
    visibleRect.origin = yourCollectionView.contentOffset
    visibleRect.size = yourCollectionView.bounds.size
    let visiblePoint = CGPoint(x: CGFloat(visibleRect.midX), y: CGFloat(visibleRect.midY))
    let visibleIndexPath: IndexPath? = yourCollectionView.indexPathForItem(at: visiblePoint)
    print("Visible cell's index is : \(visibleIndexPath?.row)!")
}

Answer 3

For completeness sake, this is the method that ended up working for me. It was a combination of @Anthony & @iAn's methods.

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
      CGRect visibleRect = (CGRect){.origin = self.collectionView.contentOffset, .size = self.collectionView.bounds.size};
      CGPoint visiblePoint = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(visibleRect), CGRectGetMidY(visibleRect));
      NSIndexPath *visibleIndexPath = [self.collectionView indexPathForItemAtPoint:visiblePoint];
      NSLog(@"%@",visibleIndexPath);
}

Answer 4

You can use scrollViewDidEndDecelerating: for this

//@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UICollectionView *collectionView;

   - (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{

        for (UICollectionViewCell *cell in [self.collectionView visibleCells]) {
            NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.collectionView indexPathForCell:cell];
            NSUInteger lastIndex = [indexPath indexAtPosition:[indexPath length] - 1];
            NSLog(@"visible cell value %d",lastIndex);
        }

    }

Answer 5

Swift 3 & Swift 4:

func scrollViewDidEndDecelerating(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
   var visibleRect = CGRect()

   visibleRect.origin = collectionView.contentOffset
   visibleRect.size = collectionView.bounds.size

   let visiblePoint = CGPoint(x: visibleRect.midX, y: visibleRect.midY)

   guard let indexPath = collectionView.indexPathForItem(at: visiblePoint) else { return } 

   print(indexPath[1])
}

If you want to show actual number than you can add +1

Answer 6

Swift 3.0

Simplest solution which will give you indexPath for visible cells..

yourCollectionView.indexPathsForVisibleItems 

will return the array of indexpath.

Just take the first object from array like this.

yourCollectionView.indexPathsForVisibleItems.first

I guess it should work fine with Objective - C as well.
