how to reduce the top space between collectionviewcell and collection view - ios

I am using collection view in my project.
there is always a tap padding comes between collection view and collection view cell.
I want to set the space between collection view cell and its collection view container.
How can I do this ?

Look at the UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uicollectionviewdelegateflowlayout
You can use this method to tell the collection view how much space you want between rows/columns:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,
layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
minimumLineSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 0
}
Read about the method here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uicollectionviewdelegateflowlayout/1617705-collectionview
Make sure you have your collectionView delegate set.

How to load web view and image view conditional in collection view with in same section with flexible height

I am loading web view and image view on basis of condition. i am unable to manage height for collection view.
Please write some code, so we could help you better.
Also check this method it could help you:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
//You can set a condition here to check if the collection has an imageView or web view and set the size you want according to it.
return CGSize(width: size, height: size)
}

How can I set custom horizontal scroll for Collection View in Swift, XCode?

I want to set custom horizontal scroll for my CollectionView, that it will be scrolling by 1 cell (not by the whole width of my screen).
I could set HORIZONTAL scroll, but not custom. (See screens).
1 screen: my extension of my collectionView for UIScrollViewDelegate.
*I saw, that in console (see too) "x" - my offset = 290 - it's true! But on fact it is not 290. Paging was marked in "true" 2 screen: delegate and dataSource.
Help, please!
First you need to set your collectionView scroll direction horizontal (UICollectionViewScrollDirectionHorizontal) and set pagingEnabled to YES
It means your collection view will be scroll horizontally with one by one cell.
Set horizontal direction (Select collection view from XIB or Storyboard)
And for set pagination enable
myCollectionView.pagingEnabled = true
Updated :
You should use of UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout delegate
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize
{
let width = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width
var height = 101.7 // set height as you want
return CGSize(width: width, height: height)
}
If using storyBoard the go to collection view and select the right handed tab "show the size inspector" and change
minimum spacing for cells = 0
minimum spacing for lines = 0
if you want to change directly from code then implement these UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout methods
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout
collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
minimumLineSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 0
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 0
}
must be remember scrolling direction set horizontal
and pagination enabled
and implement this delegate methods into code
extension ViewController: UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout
collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath:
IndexPath) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width: collectionView.frame.size.width, height:
collectionView.frame.size.height)
}
}
You could create a custom UICollectionViewFlowLayout that will center the cells in the screen and then page one at a time. Karmadust have written a good blog post that I have successfully used in the past to do the same thing

UIPageViewController along with UICollectionView for cell grid structure

I have a UICollectionView, which uses UICollectionViewFlowLayout to arrange my cells inside the collection view.
Inside my cells, I have an image and a label. Using the above layout I am able to design my collection view with vertical scrolling,
But instead of vertical scrolling, I want a structure like UIPageViewController which will contain my UICollectionView with the above cells.
I have tried with flowLayout.scrollDirection = .horizontal,
But with that approach I could not solve my issue.
I am new to Swift and I am not using storyboards.
Open your storyboard, select the collectionView and change the scroll direction from vertical to horizontal as shown below :)
Now your collectionView will start scrolling horizontally than vertically :)
If you want pagination, like ViewControllers in pageViewController, select the collectionView and select paging enabled check box :)
Now if you want your collection view cell to cover the whole collectionView like view controllers in UIPageViewController, type this in your UICollectionView delegate :)
extension YourViewController : UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
return self.pageViewController.frame.size
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 0.0
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, minimumLineSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 0.0
}
}
Want to leave spacing between cells return value instead of 0.0 in the above method :) Thats all
EDIT
In case you dont have storyboard you can set the scroll direction and other properties programmatically using
(self.collectionView.collectionViewLayout as! UICollectionViewFlowLayout).scrollDirection = .horizontal
I found my answer from the below link:

It really helped me a lot. Thanks.

Height of header view in UICollectionView

How can I design a header view for my UICollectionView that either grows or shrinks its height based on the content of it? It contains some labels, but the text of the labels are not known in advance.
If your layout is an UICollectionViewFlowLayout (or based on it) you can implement the
optional func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,
layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
referenceSizeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGSize
function on you view controller and return the header size you want.
See here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout_protocol/#//apple_ref/occ/intfm/UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout/collectionView:layout:referenceSizeForHeaderInSection:

Placing the cells in a collection view in the centre rather than the outsides in swift

By default, a collection view will attempt to space out the cells in the collection by spacing them evenly so that there will be one cell touching either side of the collection view. Example:
But, when the cell is too wide to fit multiple cells in one row on the collection view, it will centre the cell in the collection view.
Is there a way to make the behaviour of centring cells, like in the 3rd picture, the default for the collection view so that there is 0 space between the individual cells and space on either side to the edges of the collection view?
Not that I'm aware of. You should implement something like this:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,
layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
sizeForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGSize {
CGFloat width = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.width
return CGSize(width, anyHeight)
}
and then implement the delegate method below as well:
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView,
layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
insetForSectionAtIndex section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {
return UIEdgeInsetsZero
}
Make sure to implement rotation handling too if it's applicable.
My answer would be to use a carefully set up something like
let insets = UIEdgeInsets(top: yourvalues, left: yourvalues, bottom: yourvalues, right: yourvalues),
and feed it to either YourCollectionView.contentInset, or
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView,
layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
insetForSectionAtIndex section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {
return sectionInsets
}
This should work! Lemme know if you have any troubles with it!
