UICollectionView cell disappears when i animate(with my custom animation) scrollToItem function - ios

Question

I just trying to make a custom animation when i scroll to item programmatically. So when I do not compose my animation and using default by cell do not vanishing, but when i put scrolltoItem func inside UIView.animate func the last cell first vanishing and then scrollToItem animates.
In the second picture in the uppermost collectionView the located before indie game cell firstly disappears and only then collectionView scrolls from indie game cell to the next
Why this behavior takes place? Why when i do not animating it purposefully in my way, and just calling scrollToItem with animated = true func, nothing eliminates? if someone do know what happens with the cells, please give me a clue.
UIView.animate(withDuration: 10, delay: 0, options: .curveEaseInOut, animations: {
self.appsCollectionView.scrollToItem(at: IndexPath(item: self.actualNumberOfTheCell, section: 0), at: .centeredHorizontally, animated: false)
}, completion: nil)

Answer 1

I think you should have to do it with self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
self.appsCollectionView.scrollToItem(at: IndexPath(item: self.actualNumberOfTheCell, section: 0), at: .centeredHorizontally, animated: false)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 10, delay: 0, options: .curveEaseInOut, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion: nil)
Hope it will work

Your reused cells might be overlapping because of the sudden scroll. The latest cell might have not been dequeued properly and is perhaps initialized using a content of a previous cell -> which is most likely an empty cell that hasn't been properly displayed during the scroll.
Try to reset your cell content using:
prepareForReuse() inside your cell's controller.
You should reset your UI to a default state here.
Here's the docs link to it
Don't forget to call a UI display/setup method for your cell, which should display your UI elements.
Hope it helps!

I think the issue is caused by collectionView recycling the cell too early, as you are using scrollToItem with animation = false.
I tried to split the animation to several smaller steps, It works, but the scroll is not smooth. Here is the code:
// self is extended from UICollectionView
scrollTo(x: 100, duration: 0.6, count: 4) { (finished) in
}
private func scrollTo(x:CGFloat, duration:TimeInterval, count:Int, completion:#escaping (Bool)->Void)
{
let xOffset = (x - contentOffset.x)/CGFloat(count)
let durationPart = duration/TimeInterval(count)
scrollToPart(xOffset: xOffset, duration: durationPart, count: count, completion: completion)
}
private func scrollToPart(xOffset:CGFloat, duration:TimeInterval, count:Int, completion:#escaping (Bool)->Void)
{
UIView.animate(withDuration: duration, animations: {
self.contentOffset.x += xOffset
}) { (finished) in
if count <= 1
{
completion(finished)
}
else
{
self.scrollToPart(xOffset: xOffset, duration: duration, count: count-1, completion: completion)
}
}
}
I used scrollToItem with animated = true at last.
