How can I achieve week view of the calendar in my iOS app as shown below, ideally using Apple calendar components (if any) and also how can I retrieve the selected date.
I have tried using both FSCalender and CVCalender plugins, without much success, as each was missing one element or the other.
The answer is, you lay out a bunch of views and set their contents. Perhaps use a collection view for the horizontal days. Definitely use a table view for the times. There's nothing in the public SDK to do it all for you. You just put together a view hierarchy the normal way.

I am currently experimenting with a calendar framework I found online which possesses most of the functionality I need. However, I would really like to add a feature similar to the animation in the iOS Calendar where when a date is tapped, the view splits at that location and the selected week moves to the top of the calendar. Its an intuitive way to display info about the selected day. I just need some suggestions as to how this can be achieved since I'm not super familiar with collection views.
The calendar is a grid collection view with months as different sections from what I understand. Is it possible to just stick a supplementary view anywhere in a collection view dynamically? Or maybe I should look into adjusting insets at a specific location? I'm really not sure what direction to take and could use some suggestions.
Here is sort of what I want to do but with a table view.
I have played a lot with my app and I do not understand how to make layout like in for example iTunes (also many apps uses it).
How it is made? It is one big CollectionView, but with special Flow or it is TableView with many CollectionView?
Collection headers. In iTunes App if I select item (with adjustImageWhenFocused) under the header then the header will jump up and the item will not overlap the header. It is special magic or it is system behavior and I just do know how to use it?
Below is two screenshots about what I am trying to tell you and example with my app.
In iTunes there are movie preview page. With what type of View it is made? TableView,CollectionView or just ViewController with ScrollView?
I have read many sources and looked up demo projects, but nowhere I have found answers for this questions.
1) I think it would be a stackTemplate containing a couple collectionLists.
2) AFAIK the headers "jump up" on their own, no need to prepare anything special.
3) productTemplate?
For examples, see https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnectApp, /TVMLTemplates/Default/Movie_OnDeck.xml (1) or Movie_PrePlay.xml (3).
Or check the gold source: https://developer.apple.com/library/tvos/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/ATV_Template_Guide/StackTemplate.html, plus other Templates.
If you want to use native Swift way it can be achieved in following ways:
You can use table view and have collection view within each cell. I am using same approach to achieve this.
We have focus update delegate from there you can find the focused frame of image view. With the help of focused frame and label frame you can check if they are intersecting or not. Based on that you can move label up and down.
This is native TVML template, in order to achieve in swift you need to create view using tableview and collection view.
I'm trying to create a custom calendar/ month view from scratch similar to this:
And with that I'm wondering what the correct approach would be. I'm calculating which weekday the first day of the month falls on (mon-sun), and the number of days in the month. This should be enough to determine how the calendar should look, but I'm stuck trying to figure out a way to lay this all out.
Is it best to have 37 buttons in a grid layout in the storyboard and iterate through them somehow, changing their label, or dynamically create these buttons on the fly? Is there any element/ framework in iOS I could make use of to make this process easier?
If going for the latter, how would you set up the constraints to make this scalable on different size classes and screen sizes?
Tim in first comment is right. The best way to build layout for custom calendar view such yours is UICollectionView. Also to make less mistakes you can use NSDate extensions like this one: https://github.com/erica/NSDate-Extensions
I have a problem : I would like to implement a list of calendars (as in Calendar app of ipad) where the user can view a list of months along with their days. The user can pick a particular day and jump to another view ("day" view).
I am trying to do it by using UICollectionView and putting some kind of calendar (like CKCalendar) inside the UICollectionViewCell.
Beside the fact that there is some problem in handling events from calendars, there is also a problem about loading of the view which can take even half a second for let's say 9 cells.
Any advice?
I'm working on a couple of iOS apps that require the user to select a calendar date, and while the built-in date picker widget is all right, I'd much prefer if users could choose days from a calendar grid, similar to how it works in Hipmunk's iOS app. In that app, users are shown an infinite scroll view showing a grid of days, with each cell showing the month and day. The days of the week are shown in a persistent (i.e. non-scrolling) banner.
In addition to simply showing a calendar, this control should allow dates to be highlighted/selected. Better still, users should be able to select a whole range of dates by tapping on the start and end days' cells, at which the whole range of days should be highlighted.
Any ideas?
It's an "infinite" UIScrollView with various other views inside of it. Apple provides a demo infinite UIScrollview in their StreetScroller project.
You'll be allocating and initializing views for the various things you wanted displayed on each day, and probably reusing views at the top for the dates (as one scrolls off to the left you change the date and move it over to the right, reusing it the way a UITableView traditionally does).
Selection is a matter of changing visible state of the objects that back your views.
