How to put a collection view in the navigation bar like in iMessage group chats

问题


I'm attempting to put a collection view within the navigation bar, as seen in iMessage group chats where all members have their initials in circles in the nav bar.

I found an answer here on SO and I did my best to convert it to iOS10/Swift 3, but the collection view cells are not showing up in the nav bar correctly. Here's my code:

import UIKit


weak var collectionView: UICollectionView?

class ChatController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource {

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let layout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
    let collectionView = UICollectionView(frame: CGRect(x: CGFloat(0), y: CGFloat(0), width: CGFloat(300), height: CGFloat(80)), collectionViewLayout: layout)
    collectionView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
    navigationItem.titleView? = collectionView
    collectionView.register(UICollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "cell")
    collectionView.delegate? = self
    collectionView.dataSource? = self
    view.addSubview(collectionView)
    collectionView.reloadData()
}


func numberOfSections(in collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int {
    return 1
}

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return 5
}

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
    let cell = (collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) )
    cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.orange
    cell.layer.cornerRadius = 24
    return cell
}

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
    return CGSize(width: CGFloat(50), height: CGFloat(50))
}

}

And the Navigation Bar class:

import Foundation
import UIKit



class NavigationBar: UINavigationBar {

var chatController: ChatController?

override func sizeThatFits(_ size: CGSize) -> CGSize {
    return CGSize(width: CGFloat(self.superview!.bounds.size.width), height: CGFloat(80))
}

func setFrame(frame: CGRect) {
    var f = frame
    f.size.height = 80
    super.frame = f
}


}

It looks like the collection view cells are showing up, but they're below the nav bar instead of inside it (see below image). If I hide the nav bar the cells go to the top of the view, but I want to have them within the nav bar.

Here's my UI code in app delegate, not sure if I'm making a newbie mistake here:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.

    window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
    window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
    window?.rootViewController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: ChatController())

    return true
}

I'm doing this programmatically (no storyboard). Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?

Here is my proposed solution

From Apple

If you want to display custom views in the navigation bar, you must wrap those views inside a UIBarButtonItem object before adding them to the navigation item.

For information about how navigation items work together with a navigation controller, custom view controllers, and the navigation bar to display their content, see View Controller Programming Guide for iOS.

weak var collectionView: UICollectionView?
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let navigationitem = UINavigationItem(title: "")    //creates a new item with no title
    navigationitem.titleView = collectionView //your collectionview here to display as a view instead of the title that is usually there
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.items = [navigationitem] //adds the navigation item to the navigationbar
}

From the documentation I believe this should work. Remember to have your collection view cells small enough to fit in the navigation bar. Let me know if it doesn't work, maybe I can work something out tomorrow.
