how to give equal spacing between cells of uicollectionview in iOS? - ios

Question

I have added the UICollectionView in my app. It works fine but the issue is the spring between the cells is too much. I want to give equal spacing between the cells. On the iPad device I want spaces to be more stretched. Please tell me how can i do this?

Answer 1

Try this:
// Configure layout
UICollectionViewFlowLayout *flowLayout_D = [[UICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc] init];
[flowLayout_D setItemSize:CGSizeMake(102, 96)]; //your cell size
[flowLayout_D setScrollDirection:UICollectionViewScrollDirectionHorizontal];
[self->mycollectionView setCollectionViewLayout:flowLayout_D];
and you have delegate methods to change the spacing:
#pragma mark Collection view layout things
- (CGFloat)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section {
if (collectionView==myCollectionView) {
return 2.0;
}
else
return 0;
}
- (CGFloat)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout minimumLineSpacingForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section {
if (collectionView==myCollectionView) {
return 2.0;
}
else
return 0;
}
You can also change the edge insets:
// Layout: Set Edges
- (UIEdgeInsets)collectionView:
(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout insetForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section {
// return UIEdgeInsetsMake(0,8,0,8); // top, left, bottom, right
if (collectionView==myCollectionView) {
return UIEdgeInsetsMake(0,0,0,0);
}// top, left, bottom, right
else
return UIEdgeInsetsMake(0,0,0,0);
}
