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

UICollectionView current visible cell index: Swift 3, 4 and 5+

var visibleCurrentCellIndexPath: IndexPath? {
    for cell in self.collectionView.visibleCells {
        let indexPath = self.collectionView.indexPath(for: cell)
        return indexPath
     }
        
     return nil
}

As an Extension:

extension UICollectionView {
  var visibleCurrentCellIndexPath: IndexPath? {
    for cell in self.visibleCells {
      let indexPath = self.indexPath(for: cell)
      return indexPath
    }
    
    return nil
  }
}

Usage:

if let indexPath = collectionView.visibleCurrentCellIndexPath { 
   /// do something
}

Answer 2

It will probably be best to use UICollectionViewDelegate methods: (Swift 3)

// Called before the cell is displayed    
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, willDisplay cell: UICollectionViewCell, forItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    print(indexPath.row)
}

// Called when the cell is displayed
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didEndDisplaying cell: UICollectionViewCell, forItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    print(indexPath.row)
}

Answer 3

This is old question but in my case...

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

    _m_offsetIdx = [m_cv indexPathForCell:m_cv.visibleCells.firstObject].row;
}

- (void) scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
    _m_offsetIdx = [m_cv indexPathForCell:m_cv.visibleCells.lastObject].row;
}

Answer 4

For Swift 3.0

func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    let visibleRect = CGRect(origin: colView.contentOffset, size: colView.bounds.size)
    let visiblePoint = CGPoint(x: visibleRect.midX, y: visibleRect.midY)
    let indexPath = colView.indexPathForItem(at: visiblePoint)
}

Answer 5

Also check this snippet

let isCellVisible = collectionView.visibleCells.map { collectionView.indexPath(for: $0) }.contains(inspectingIndexPath)

Answer 6

Swift 5:

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)
}

Working Answers Combined In Swift 2.2 :

 func scrollViewDidEndDecelerating(scrollView: UIScrollView) {

        var visibleRect = CGRect()

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

        let visiblePoint = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(visibleRect), CGRectGetMidY(visibleRect))

        let visibleIndexPath: NSIndexPath = self.collectionView.indexPathForItemAtPoint(visiblePoint)

        guard let indexPath = visibleIndexPath else { return } 
        print(indexPath)

    }
