Collection Cell Content Size - ios

Question

I added a view as parent red view in CollectionViewCell and the next blue subview at the center of the parent view. It works correctly and the sub view goes at the center of the parent view before collection cell size is not changed. But, The cell size is changed by conforming the method from UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout protocol and the view is not centered of the cell correctly. How I can solve this issue ?
class ItemCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell {
var parentView: UIView!
var circularView: UIView!
var itemImage: UIImageView!
var itemName: UILabel!
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
// self.updateView()
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
self.updateView()
}
func updateView(){
self.clipsToBounds = true
self.parentView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width:
self.frame.size.width, height: self.frame.size.height))
self.parentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
self.circularView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width:
self.parentView.frame.size.width / 4 , height:
self.parentView.frame.size.width / 4 ))
self.circularView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
self.addSubview(parentView)
self.parentView.addSubview(self.circularView)
self.circularView.center = self.parentView.center
}
}

Answer 1

Try this code
self.circularView.center = CGPoint(x: self. parentView.bounds.midX, y: self. parentView.bounds.midY)
self.parentView.addSubview(self.circularView)
self.addSubview(parentView)

Answer 2

Try doing:
self.circularView.center = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.parentView.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(self.parentView.bounds))
Why this should work? Try checking values of self.parentView.center for each cell, they might not be what you want them to be, because center property gives values with respect to parent view coordinate system.

Answer 3

Remove the following line from updateView()
self.circularView.center = self.parentView.center
Please add it to the following method:
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
self.circularView.center = self.parentView.center
}
e.g.
class ItemCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell {
var parentView: UIView!
var circularView: UIView!
var itemImage: UIImageView!
var itemName: UILabel!
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
// self.updateView()
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
self.updateView()
}
func updateView(){
self.clipsToBounds = true
self.parentView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width:
self.frame.size.width, height: self.frame.size.height))
self.parentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
self.circularView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width:
self.parentView.frame.size.width / 4 , height:
self.parentView.frame.size.width / 4 ))
self.circularView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
self.addSubview(parentView)
self.parentView.addSubview(self.circularView)
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
self.circularView.center = self.parentView.center
}
}
