I have one button in header cell that created by IB. I add on action, but I can not trigger. This code;
func collectionView( _ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader:
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "sectionHeader", for: indexPath) as! ProfilePhotoHeaderCell
cell.lblFavCount.text = user.favdCount
let countFoto = ((user.photos?.count)!)
cell.lblFotoCount.text = countFoto.description
cell.btnAddPhotos.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
cell.btnAddPhotos?.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ProfileController.myAction(sender:)), for: .touchUpInside) // add selector
return cell
case IOStickyHeaderParallaxHeader:
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "headerCell1", for: indexPath) as! ProfileParallaxHeaderCell
return headerView
default:
assert(false, "Unexpected element kind")
}
}
I want to add a few buttons to the header of a Collection view. Enabled 'Section Header' from the storyboard. Then dragged a 'view' to that header. And put its background color to green
But I don't why it's not displaying. In the simulator as you see, only a blank space for the header.
Use this Method
Give name in CollectionHeaderCell
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader:
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Header", for: indexPath as IndexPath)
headerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue;
return headerView
case UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter:
let footerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Footer", for: indexPath as IndexPath)
footerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.green;
return footerView
default:
assert(false, "Unexpected element kind")
}
}
// make a cell for each cell index path
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("InviteFriendCell", forIndexPath: indexPath)
let profileimage: UIImageView = (cell.viewWithTag(5) as! UIImageView)
profileimage.image = UIImage(named:arrayofdata[indexPath.row]["image"]!)
return cell
}
~New to Swift~
Below is the func I have to implement header and footer views into my UICollectionView but as of now when I run my app nothing is showing up.
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, atIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader:
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind(kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Header", forIndexPath: indexPath)
headerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.brownColor()
return headerView
case UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter:
let footerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind(kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Footer", forIndexPath: indexPath)
footerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor()
return footerView
default:
assert(false, "Unexpected element kind")
}
}
I have added the delegate function in the controller class but it won't called at the run time.
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, atIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
}
override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, atIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader:
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind(kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Header", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UICollectionReusableView
headerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor();
return headerView
case UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter:
let footerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind(kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Footer", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UICollectionReusableView
footerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor();
return footerView
default:
assert(false, "Unexpected element kind")
}
}
I follow this tutorial Appcoda tutorial and update code For swift 4.0
Register the class :
self.collectionView.register(HeadView.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: "HeadView")
Delegates :
// For header size (required)
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width:collectionView.frame.size.width, height:50.0)
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader:
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "HeadView", for: indexPath)
headerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue;
return headerView
default:
fatalError("Unexpected element kind")
}
}
Delegate method not called because you need to register a class for the supplementary view;
yourCollectionView.registerClass(UICollectionReusableView.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: "collectionHeaderID")
yourCollectionView.registerClass(UICollectionReusableView.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter, withReuseIdentifier: "collectionFooterID")
If you use Custom UICollectionViewFlowLayout
set headerReferenceSize
let flowLayout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
flowLayout.scrollDirection = .vertical
flowLayout.minimumLineSpacing = 0
flowLayout.minimumInteritemSpacing = 0
flowLayout.sectionHeadersPinToVisibleBounds = true
flowLayout.headerReferenceSize = CGSize(width: self.collectionView.frame.size.width, height: 50)
How to make both header and footer in collection view in swift ?
I'm trying to combine a header and a footer together but it keep crashing, I couldn't find swift tutorial to understand it.
I don't how to return supplementary view for both rather just one .
I set them both on the storyboard (class + identifier )
override func numberOfSectionsInCollectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int {
//#warning Incomplete method implementation -- Return the number of sections
return 2
}
override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
//#warning Incomplete method implementation -- Return the number of items in the section
return 10
}
override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, atIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
var header: headerCell!
var footer: footerCell!
if kind == UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader {
header =
collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind(kind,
withReuseIdentifier: "header", forIndexPath: indexPath)
as? headerCell
}
return header
}
Error:
UICollectionElementKindCell with identifier one - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard'
override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> profileCC {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("one", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! profileCC
// Configure the cell
return cell
}
override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, atIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader:
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind(kind, withReuseIdentifier: "header", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! headerCell
headerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor();
return headerView
case UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter:
let footerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind(kind, withReuseIdentifier: "footer", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! footerCell
footerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor();
return footerView
default:
assert(false, "Unexpected element kind")
}
}
I hope someone will help.
You can make an UICollectionViewController to handle the UICollectionView and in Interface Builder activate the Footer and Header sections, then you can use the following method for preview in you UICollectionView the two sections added :
override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, atIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader:
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Header", for: indexPath)
headerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
return headerView
case UICollectionView.elementKindSectionFooter:
let footerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Footer", for: indexPath)
footerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
return footerView
default:
assert(false, "Unexpected element kind")
}
}
In the above code I put the identifier for the footer and header as Header and Footer for example, you can do it as you want. If you want to create a custom header or footer then you need to create a subclass of UICollectionReusableView for each and customize it as you want.
You can register your custom footer and header classes in Interface Builder or in code with:
registerClass(myFooterViewClass, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter, withReuseIdentifier: "myFooterView")
Updated for Swift 3+
Step 1:
In your view controller class, register the class to be used as a header, footer, or both:
let collectionViewHeaderFooterReuseIdentifier = "MyHeaderFooterClass"
Step 2:
If using a xib, use:
collectionView.register(UINib(nibName: collectionViewHeaderFooterReuseIdentifier bundle: nil), forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier:collectionViewHeaderFooterReuseIdentifier)
collectionView.register(UINib(nibName: collectionViewHeaderFooterReuseIdentifier bundle: nil), forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter, withReuseIdentifier:collectionViewHeaderFooterReuseIdentifier)
If not using a xib:
collectionView.register(MyHeaderFooterClass.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: collectionViewHeaderFooterReuseIdentifier)
collectionView.register(MyHeaderFooterClass.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter, withReuseIdentifier: collectionViewHeaderFooterReuseIdentifier)
Step 3:
Create a custom header/footer class, implementation looks like:
import UIKit
class MyHeaderFooterClass: UICollectionReusableView {
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
self.backgroundColor = UIColor.purple
// Customize here
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
}
Step 4: If not using a xib, ignore
Create a new empty xib: "File --> New File --> Empty".
Name it the exact same name as the class. In this example: "MyHeaderFooterClass"
Add a collection reusable view to the xib.
Click on that object, select the Identity Inspector and change the class of that object to "MyHeaderFooterClass".
Step 5:
- Support that new cell in your collection view via delegate method:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,
viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String,
at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader:
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: collectionViewHeaderFooterReuseIdentifier, for: indexPath)
headerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
return headerView
case UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter:
let footerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: collectionViewHeaderFooterReuseIdentifier, for: indexPath)
footerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
return footerView
default:
assert(false, "Unexpected element kind")
}
}
Step 6:
Handle size / make it appear:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width: collectionView.frame.width, height: 180.0)
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width: 60.0, height: 30.0)
}
In addition to all answers above
To activate the Footer and Header sections
Select your collection then select Attributes inspector and check on the Footer and Header sections
like in photo
Just to complement the remaining answers, don't forget to allocate space for your header/footer views, otherwise collectionView:viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind:atIndexPath won't be called.
Do so by implementing collectionView:layout:referenceSizeForHeaderInSection in your collectionView datasource.
After using #mobilecat code you should use this function to make the header and footer appear
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width: collectionView.frame.width, height: 180.0)
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width: 60.0, height: 30.0)
}
Xcode 11+ & iOS 13+
I am using Xib for creating Header & Footer Views
Create a Xibs and Class File For Header & Footer like this (Same as Footer class) & also create xib views for both
class HeaderViewCV: UICollectionReusableView {
}
Register Xib Cells like this
collectionView.register(UINib(nibName: "HeaderViewCV", bundle: nil), forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: "HeaderViewCV") //elementKindSectionFooter for footerview
Header & Footer View Methods
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader:
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "HeaderViewCV", for: indexPath)
return headerView
case UICollectionView.elementKindSectionFooter:
let footerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "FooterViewCV", for: indexPath)
return footerView
default:
assert(false, "Unexpected element kind")
}
}
For View Height Method for both
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width: self.collectionView.frame.width, height: 55)
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width: self.collectionView.frame.width, height: 67)
}
Done all the necessary requirement for Header & Footer in CollectionView is ready
Solution
class CustomFlowLayout: UICollectionViewFlowLayout {
override func layoutAttributesForElements(in rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]? {
let attributesForElementsInRect = super.layoutAttributesForElements(in: rect)
var newAttributesForElementsInRect = [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]()
for attributes in attributesForElementsInRect! {
if !(attributes.representedElementKind == UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader
|| attributes.representedElementKind == UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter) {
// cells will be customise here, but Header and Footer will have layout without changes.
}
newAttributesForElementsInRect.append(attributes)
}
return newAttributesForElementsInRect
}
}
class YourViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let headerNib = UINib.init(nibName: "HeaderCell", bundle: nil)
collectionView.register(headerNib, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: "HeaderCell")
let footerNib = UINib.init(nibName: "FooterCell", bundle: nil)
collectionView.register(footerNib, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter, withReuseIdentifier: "FooterCell")
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader:
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "HeaderCell", for: indexPath) as! HeaderCell
return headerView
case UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter:
let footerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "FooterCell", for: indexPath) as! FooterCell
return footerView
default:
return UICollectionReusableView()
}
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width: collectionView.frame.width, height: 45)
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width: collectionView.frame.width, height: 25)
}
}
if you need to keep empty spaces for header and footer make an extension of UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout and use this code to set header or footer accordingly.
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
let footerValue = 150
let headerValue = 150
collectionView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: headerValue, left: 0, bottom: footerValue, right: 0)
}
Note that your viewController must implement UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout or these methods won't get called
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
}
following #mobilecat detailed answer, if you are using compositional collection view, add these lines when creating the layout:
let headerSize = NSCollectionLayoutSize(widthDimension: .fractionalWidth(1.0), heightDimension: .estimated(44))
let headerElement = NSCollectionLayoutBoundarySupplementaryItem(layoutSize: headerSize, elementKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader, alignment: .top)
and set the headerElement to your section like this:
let section = NSCollectionLayoutSection(group: group)
section.boundarySupplementaryItems = [headerElement]
The full code snippet is:
private func createCompositionalLayout() -> UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout {
let itemSize = NSCollectionLayoutSize(widthDimension: .fractionalHeight(1.0),
heightDimension: .fractionalHeight(0.2))
let item = NSCollectionLayoutItem(layoutSize: itemSize)
let groupSize = NSCollectionLayoutSize(widthDimension: .fractionalWidth(1.0),
heightDimension: .fractionalWidth(1.0))
let group = NSCollectionLayoutGroup.vertical(layoutSize: groupSize, subitems: [item])
let headerSize = NSCollectionLayoutSize(widthDimension: .fractionalWidth(1.0), heightDimension: .estimated(44))
let headerElement = NSCollectionLayoutBoundarySupplementaryItem(layoutSize: headerSize, elementKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader, alignment: .top)
let section = NSCollectionLayoutSection(group: group)
section.boundarySupplementaryItems = [headerElement]
let layout = UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout(section: section)
return layout
}
