I have added some buttons to a UICollectionView like so in the storyboard:
When I build the app, I don't see anything in the UICollectionView. Why is this? I want to have only 5 buttons in there and receive their click events in the view controller. How can I achieve this?
Each cell behaves like a button. So in my storyboard I put one reusable cell with a label in it, and I add 5 items to the UICollectionView and it worked as expected.

Originally, the number of menus was one, but it was changed to more than one.
So I want to change the UIView (Container View) so that I can scroll horizontally.
Shop Menu View Cell is TableView -> TableViewCell -> TableViewCell (This) on the screen.
I tried several ways to switch to the horizontal scroll view.
I have separated the Container View and made it into a Cell
I also tried adding Scroll View or UICollectionView.
But all the way was not what I wanted.
Perhaps the Shop Menu View Cell is due to having passed the TableView twice.
I could not solve it for four days.
Please give me a hint how to implement.
To create editable forms of data display for static information, static TableViewController is best choice. As it automatically adjust your view when keyboard appear and other many feature, along with scroll. Plus you can directly outlet all the components to your controller class.
Your view will look something like:
I'm building my application with Swift and I want to set up TableView and CollectionView in the same ViewController.
The only answer I founded is to setup my CollectionView in the TableViewCell of the TableView.
I did it but it scrolls separately.
The solution I found is to disable CollectionView scrolling and then configure CollectionView's height constraint programmatically by summing heights of the cells. It isn't perfect at all because cells become non reusable (250+).
I'm in desperation because I have seen this setup in many other apps and I think that answer is so simple but I can not find it anywhere.
Can anyone please help me? Thank you a lot!
Another option is to set it up as a single collection view with two sections, one that looks and lays out as a tableview and the other that has the more collection view appearance.
Or set it up as a single table view with two sections, one of which displays two side-by-side images per line (this is the old school way of creating this layout.)
Lots of ways to go about it, depending on what you want to play with and what you want to learn :)
You can put a UITableView and UICollectionView inside a UIViewController, and implement UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource and UICollectionViewDataSource.
Keys:
Use AutoLayout to make sure tableView has only two rows, and
collectionView takes the rest of area.
Make sure tableView.scrollEnabled = false
Here is a sample, https://www.dropbox.com/s/v6yc40udfk8mqx5/FlexTableCellHeight.zip?dl=0
Set up a blank ViewController. Then place two ContainmentViewControllers inside of the ViewController. Size them however you want based on how much screen you want to the be tableview and how much you want to be collectionview. Then create segues from each containmentViewController to your tableviewcontroller and collectionviewcontroller using embed. This will allow both to be on screen at once and scroll separately.
If you do not need to use a TableViewController and can get away with just a tableview you can also just place one containmentviewcontroller below your tableview and create the embed segue to your collectionviewcontroller.
I'm trying to construct a register page similar to the one used by instagram or foursquare , the problem is they have a special mechanism in a table view where you can set your avatar , like so :
It seems like an imageview was added above 2 tableview cells , obviously the insets are modified so the line doesn't touch it , but i can't seem to place the image or modifiy the tableview cell width .
How can i achieve this ?
This is probably a single cell with 3 UIImageViews, 2 UITextFields, UIButton and a dividing line being another subview (perhaps thin UIView). You can easily achieve this with a subclass of UITableViewCell.
Update: review this question for steps how to achieve it in storyboard: How do you load a prototype cell from a storyboard? You would need IBOutlets for UITextFields and IBAction for UIButton.
Check out this image below, this is what I'm trying to accomplish, but I ran into some problems. The first approach I made was to have an imageView (blue square) and 2 separate tableViews within a scrollView. Each tableViewCell would have textFields inside them. The first issue was when the keyboard came into the view, I would move the view up to make sure the bottom textFields were not covered up. I then wanted to be able to scroll up and down so I could still see the top textFields as well. This didn't work because when I nested the tableView inside the scrollView, The scrollView wouldn't scroll. I was also having a problem with setting the firstResponder to pass from textField to textField on the second table only.
I then decided it would be better to create 1 tableView, and add a custom cell to hold my imageView and two textFields. My question is, is it possible to create that custom cell that will hold my imageView and two textFields? would this be a better approach?
Thanks
Wow, I think your can do it easily by UITableView. All you need to do is customising UITableViewCell.
This is possible using subviews. However, why you aren't considering UIViewController or UIScrollViewController for this design?
I'm working on a project were I use mostly UITableViews. The user enters data and the App gives the result of a calculation. I have two buttons: "Calculate" and "Reset". I want to add a subview containing these two buttons and have them displayed at the bottom of the screen. By Storyboards, I can add the subview, but it sticks to the button of the UITableView, not the screen.
Any idea on how to accomplish that? Should I mess with the constrains between the subview with the buttons and self.tableview.superview ?
Any help is appreciated!
You can use a standard UIViewController instead of a UITableViewController, and add a UITableView to your view controller. You can then place subviews at will.
Do not forget to connect datasource and delegate of your tableview.
