UICollectionView + custom cell - ios

please help me with custom cell in collection
i have an error:
..this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key cell_label..

i want to show collection with custom cell in modalview
PS: i use xcode 7 beta and swift 2 and separate xib for every view
import UIKit
class ModalController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var myCollection: UICollectionView!
#IBOutlet weak var myCell: colywCell!
var tableData: [String] = ["XXX", "YYY", "ZZZ"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.title="modal W"
myCollection.dataSource = self
myCollection.delegate = self
let nipName=UINib(nibName: "colywCell", bundle:nil)
myCollection.registerNib(nipName, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "cell1")
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return tableData.count
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
self.myCell = myCollection.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("cell1", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! colywCell
self.myCell.Cell_label.text = tableData[indexPath.row]
return self.myCell
}
}
and custom cell file
import UIKit
class colywCell: UICollectionViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var Cell_label: UILabel!
required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
}

you need to aware of who the owner is, and which class should be loaded with the nib.
in nutshell, you need to aware of those in your colywCell.nib:
1a.
make sure that the File's Owner is not a custom class.
1b.
make sure to disconnect every outlet from File's Owner.
2a.
make sure that the actual UICollectionViewCell is your custom class.
2b.
optionally connect the outlets to your custom class.

This is a common error, it usually means that you have an Outlet set on your view that is not binded to any IBOutlet on your Cell.
This happens when you bind a view with some var in your class and then you remove that var and not it's bind on your xib.

The myLabel outlet from the UICollectionView to the UILabel is invalid. Outlets cannot be connected to repeating content

I coded my first CollectionView but the build fails with this error message:
"Illegal Configuration: The myLabel outlet from the UICollectionView to the UILabel is invalid. Outlets cannot be connected to repeating content."
I read other questions on StackOverflow with the same error, and the solution was to set the content of the UILabel which is in a prototype cell and has an outlet to "CollectionViewCell.swift" from static to dynamic. I couldn't try this because this option doesn't appear. I think it's gone with the newer versions of Xcode.
My code in "CollectionViewCell.swift":
import UIKit
class CollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var myLabel: UILabel!
}
My code in "ViewController.swift":
class LibraryViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegate {
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
return .lightContent
}
#IBOutlet weak var sortCollectionView: UICollectionView!
func numberOfSections(in sortCollectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func collectionView(_ sortCollectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 10
}
func collectionView(_ sortCollectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let sortCell = sortCollectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "sortCell", for: indexPath) as! CollectionViewCell
sortCell.myLabel.text = "hi"
return sortCell
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
Thank you for every helpful answer :'D
Select your UILabel from Storyboard and check connections of it, there might be an old connection of it. Remove that old connection and you are good to go.
Ok, I fixed it by myself!
For everyone who search for the solution:
Double check if there are no other Outlets than the CollectionViewCell!
In my case the Label had an outlet to another thing :^)

iOS Swift: Loading a XIB file containing a UICollectionView causing nil error?

I created a UICollectionView in an .xib file like so:
Based on this post: Can´t add items to UICollectionView inside UIView xib
I understand that you cannot directly add a UICollectionViewCell within a UICollectionView that is contained in a .xib, but instead have to create another .xib with only the UICollectionViewCell, which is what I did:
I create a GridViewCell class and add it as the Custom Class for the UICollectionViewCell:
class GridViewCell: UICollectionViewCell
{
#IBOutlet var clothingImageView: UIImageView!
override func awakeFromNib()
{
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
}
I also created a GridViewGallery class and associated with my UICollectionView .xib file:
extension GridViewGallery: UICollectionViewDelegate
{
}
extension GridViewGallery: UICollectionViewDataSource
{
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int
{
return clothingImages.count
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell
{
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "GridViewCell", for: indexPath) as! GridViewCell
cell.clothingImageView.image = clothingImages[indexPath.row].image
return cell
}
}
class GridViewGallery: UIView
{
#IBOutlet var gridLayoutCollectionView: UICollectionView!
var clothingImages = [INSPhotoViewable]()
override init(frame: CGRect)
{
super.init(frame: frame)
}
required public init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder)
{
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
let gridViewCell = UINib(nibName: "GridViewCell", bundle: nil)
gridLayoutCollectionView.register(gridViewCell, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "GridViewCell")
}
func storeGridViewImages(photos: [INSPhotoViewable])
{
clothingImages = photos
gridLayoutCollectionView.dataSource = self
gridLayoutCollectionView.delegate = self
}
}
However, I get a unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value error when I tried to load the XIB file to a UIView in another class:
#IBAction func gridViewLayout(_ sender: UIBarButtonItem)
{
if let gridView = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("GridViewGallery", owner: self, options: nil)?.first as? GridViewGallery
{
print("GRID VIEW FOUND")
self.addSubview(gridView)
}
}
The GridViewGallery File Owner's Custom Class is empty, as I set the Custom Class on the UIView property instead as seen in the first screenshot:
However, if I instead set the File Owner's Custom Class to GridViewGallery and leave the Custom Class as blank from the UIView itself, then I get a crash with error this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key gridLayoutCollectionView.
I'm not sure I understand what is causing this, and which way I should be setting the Custom Class.
Can someone assist me?
Thanks.

Swift - could not dequeue a view of kind: UICollectionElementKindCell

I got this error message when trying to load my project
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'could not dequeue a view of kind: UICollectionElementKindCell with identifier CustomCell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard'
My code is:
extension ViewController: JTAppleCalendarViewDelegate, JTAppleCalendarViewDataSource {
func configureCalendar(_ calendar: JTAppleCalendarView) -> ConfigurationParameters {
formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy MM dd"
formatter.timeZone = Calendar.current.timeZone
formatter.locale = Calendar.current.locale
let startDate = formatter.date(from: "2017 01 01")!
let endDate = formatter.date(from: "2017 12 31")!
let parameters = ConfigurationParameters(startDate: startDate, endDate: endDate)
return parameters
}
func calendar(_ calendar: JTAppleCalendarView, cellForItemAt date: Date, cellState: CellState, indexPath: IndexPath) -> JTAppleCell {
let cell = calendar.dequeueReusableJTAppleCell(withReuseIdentifier: "CustomCell", for: indexPath) as! CustomCell
cell.dateLabel.text = cellState.text
return cell
}
}
Please help me debug this problem. Thank you.
Edit: I have added the identifier for the cell, but still the error exists.
In viewDidLoad method:
You must register your custom cell class/xib name with collectionView object.
If you have only class custom class then you register by following way (No xib file)
collectionView.register(CustomCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "cellId")
If you have both class as well as xib file then you can register by this way
collectionView.register(UINib(nibName: "CustomCell", bundle: nil), forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "cellId")
It is because you haven't registered your xib to UICollectionView. If you are using UICollectionViewCell from Xib, you must register it first.
In viewDidLoad:
write it:
if let xib = NSNib.init(nibNamed: "TemplateNBgCollectionItem", bundle: nil) {
self.collectionView.register(xib, forItemWithIdentifier: NSUserInterfaceItemIdentifier(rawValue: "cvItem"))
}
From the code snippets you pasted, I don't see you register the cell before you want to dequeue/use it. Need to register the cell before use as the error described.
tableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "DefaultCell")
For your quick reference, please see below post -
https://www.hackingwithswift.com/example-code/uikit/how-to-register-a-cell-for-uitableviewcell-reuse
Edit after screenshot posted(Please accept this answer if works for you ^_^)
From the screenshot, you are using a custom cell class 'CustomCell', after you set the correct identifier, please make sure setup the correct class name as CustomCell in the identity inspector of right panel. Refer to below screenshot.
If you use cell in storyboard not XIB then you need to set reuseIDentifier as below
If you use separate XIB for cell then you need to add this line in ViewDidLoad
collectionView.register(UINib(nibName: "NibName", bundle: nil), forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "reuseIdentifier")
There are many possibilities for this issue. If you have custom class for collection view then it should be set in identity inspector. And it must be subclass of UICollectionViewCell. And you have to instantiate that subclass in your cellforitem delegate method with proper reusable identifier that must be set in attribute inspector. Here in your screen shot, It seems like Apple calender view is your collection view. If it is third party library then make sure that it is allowing you to deque your custom cells! and make sure it is subclass of UICollectionView.
In My Case
Im creating a collection View with custom cell with class
This Is my Custom CollectionView Class Code
import UIKit
class Auction_CollectionCell: UICollectionViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var Productimage: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var name: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var bid: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var progress: UIProgressView!
#IBOutlet weak var day: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var hours: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var mins: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var secs: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var lblday: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var lblhours: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var lblmin: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var lblsecs: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var MainView: UIView!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
}
Connect all the view from your storyboard to Custom Class by CTRL+Drag and #IBOutlet will be created.
I Called my custom class like this
self.AuctionList = NSArray with NSDictionary Content
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,
numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return self.AuctionList.count
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell : Auction_CollectionCell = (collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "collectionCell", for: indexPath) as? Auction_CollectionCell)!
cell.lblday.text = "Day"
cell.lblhours.text = "Hours"
cell.lblmin.text = "Minutes"
cell.lblsecs.text = "Secs"
cell.MainView.layer.cornerRadius = 5
cell.MainView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
cell.MainView.layer.borderWidth = 0.5
cell.MainView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.gray.cgColor
return cell
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
var width = CGFloat(0)
var height = CGFloat(0)
if (UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .pad){
width = CGFloat((self.view.bounds.size.width / 4.0) - 15)
height = CGFloat(246.0)
}else{
width = CGFloat((self.view.bounds.size.width / 2.0) - 15)
height = CGFloat(246.0)
}
print("Resize Image \(width) \(height)")
return CGSize(width: width, height: height)
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if let dic = AuctionList[indexPath.row] as? NSDictionary{
Product.product_id = "\((dic["product_id"])!)"
Product.product_image = "\((dic["image"])!)"
Product.auction_id = "\((dic["auction_id"])!)"
performSegue(withIdentifier: "auctionProductDetails", sender: self)
}
}
Have fun And Good Luck.
Feel Free to edit my answer
I had the exact same issue with mine. and after looking around i realised i had a lower case "p" when it should've been an upper case "P" with the name i used for an identifier.
click on the collectionView cell on the storyboard, open the right panel. Check attributes inspector and collection Reusable View, identifier name, but also check the identity inspector, custom class name.

Can´t add items to UICollectionView inside UIView xib

Objective
I wanna place my (BusinessViewTableHeader: UIView) as tableView header:
tableView.tableHeaderView = BusinessViewTableHeader.instanceFromNib() as! BusinessViewTableHeader
Inside BusinessViewTableHeader there is a UICollectionView which are supposed to display images when swiped, much like the Tinder app.
This is my UIView subclass:
class BusinessViewTableHeader: UIView {
#IBOutlet var collectionView: UICollectionView!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
self.collectionView.delegate = self
self.collectionView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "BusinessImageCollectionCell", bundle: nil), forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "BusinessImageCollectionCell")
}
class func instanceFromNib() -> UIView {
return UINib(nibName: "BusinessViewTableHeader", bundle: nil).instantiateWithOwner(nil, options: nil)[0] as! UIView
}
....
}
extension BusinessViewTableHeader: UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource {
....
}
Problem
I have a custom UIView xib containing a UICollectionView. The problem is that I can´t add any cells (items) to the UICollectionView. I can add items to my other UICollectionView which are placed inside a UIViewController. The first image is showing the properties for the UICollectionView inside a UIViewController, the second image is showing the UICollectionView inside a UIView xib.

Question
Why am I not able to add items to the UICollectionView inside the UIView xib? How?
You can't have UICollectionViewCell when the UICollectionView is on a Nib. What you need to do is to create the UICollectionViewCell as another nib and get it registered in the class that you are using for your CollectionView.
Create a new nib, drag a UICollectionViewCell inside it, and do something like this in the class that works with your UICollectionView.
override func awakeFromNib() {
let nibName = UINib(nibName: "ClassCollectionCell", bundle:nil)
collectionView.registerNib(nibName, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "collectionCell")
}
Remember you can add a custom class to the UICollectionViewCell so you can pass dynamic data to it.
Adding cells in a xib is not supported. If you must use a xib file, then you will need a separate xib which contains the UICollectionView cell. Storyboards may be a better solution.
It is not clear what you are trying to achieve. UICollectionView has specific means for creating headers which uses the datasource and delegate. Collection views are good for displaying items in a grid layout or other complex arrangements.
If all you need is to display a list of rows, then a UITableViewController might be an easier alternative.
Whatever the case, it is probably better to use a storyboard instead of a xib, and to subclass the UICollectionViewController or UITableViewController, rather than a subview.
Your custom class name can be entered in the identity inspector for the UIViewController or UIView:
In Swift 3.0 register nib with following method-
let nibName = UINib(nibName: "FruitCell", bundle:nil)
collectionView.register(nibName, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "CellIdentifier")
In Swift 3.0
first Create Xibfile of UIView
import UIKit
class SubCatagoryListView:UIView , UICollectionViewDelegate , UICollectionViewDataSource
{
#IBOutlet weak var mainView: UIView!
#IBOutlet weak var btnClose: UIButton!
#IBOutlet weak var subCategoryListCollectionView: UICollectionView!
#IBOutlet weak var lblTitle: UILabel!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
subCategoryListCollectionView.register(UINib(nibName: "SubcatagoryListCollectionViewCell", bundle: nil), forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "SubcatagoryListCollectionViewCell")
mainView.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0
mainView.clipsToBounds = true
}
static func subCatagoryListView() -> SubCatagoryListView? {
let arr = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("SubCatagoryListView", owner: self, options: nil)
if arr != nil {
if arr!.count > 0 {
if let view = arr![0] as? SubCatagoryListView {
return view;
}
}
}
return nil;
}
#IBAction func btnBackgroundTapped(_ sender: UIButton)
{
self.removeFromSuperview()
}
#IBAction func btnCloseTapped(_ sender: UIButton)
{
self.removeFromSuperview()
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 10
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "SubcatagoryListCollectionViewCell", for: indexPath) as! SubcatagoryListCollectionViewCell
return cell
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
let cellsize = CGSize(width: (subCategoryListCollectionView.bounds.size.width/3) - 10, height: 50)
return cellsize
}
}
After Create new CollectionViewCell Xib file
import UIKit
class SubcatagoryListCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell {
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
}
after create both file i am load xib on my storybord
var subcatagoryXib:SubCatagoryListView?
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
if let subcategoryView = SubCatagoryListView.subCatagoryListView()
{
subcatagoryXib = subcategoryView
}
}
#IBAction func btnAddInterestTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
if subcatagoryXib != nil
{
self.subcatagoryXib!.frame = CGRect(x:0, y: 0, width: self.view.frame.width , height: self.view.frame.height)
self.view.addSubview(self.subcatagoryXib!)
}
}
Same as #Pato's answer, but here is a more thorough tutorial for how to add a customized UICollectionViewCell inside a Xib file from #aestusLabs on Medium. It's a 3-5 min reading, I personally find it very helpful. It basically tells you to create another customized UICollectionViewCell with .xib, and register it in your "level 1" cell's awakeFromNib().

iOS 8 swift change parent content

i am new to iOS, so i am confronted with this problem: I wrote an UICollectionView in an UIViewController (parent) with an UICollectionResuableView as a header.
class ParentViewController: UIViewController, SideBarDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var mPreviewsCollection: UICollectionView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
...
}
...
}
This UICollectionResuableView contain another UICollectionView (child) to provide dynamic customized tabs (maybe not the best idea, but it looks as was intended).
class ChildHeaderCollectionReusableView: UICollectionReusableView {
#IBOutlet var mTabHeader: UICollectionView!
required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
...
}
...
Now i want to to change the content of the parent UICollectionView (reloadData()) when selecting a cell in the child. How can i do that? How can i execute methods in the running instance of the parent from outside?
e.g. var rootViewController = self.window!.rootViewController as KioskViewController returns another instance of my parent UIViewController with zero content
