I need an expandable UICollectionView in my app - so I came across this project (https://github.com/apploft/APLExpandableCollectionView). It's a subclass of UICollectionView that implements the expand and collapse behaviour.
I have extended the demo app to display a + or a - button in the expandable cells.
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
APLCollectionViewCell* cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:#"APLCollectionViewCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (indexPath.item == 0) {
cell.label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Section %li", (long)indexPath.section + 1];
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:58./255. green:165./255. blue:192./255. alpha:1.];
cell.indentView.hidden = YES;
cell.label_OnOff.text = #"+";
} else {
cell.label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Item %li", (long)indexPath.row];
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:58./255. green:165./255. blue:192./255. alpha:.5];
cell.indentView.hidden = NO;
[cell.label_OnOff setHidden:YES];
}
return cell;
}
To switch between + and - I implemented the delegate methods:
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didCollapseItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
APLCollectionViewCell *cell = (APLCollectionViewCell*)[collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.label_OnOff.text = #"+";
}
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didExpandItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
APLCollectionViewCell *cell = (APLCollectionViewCell*)[collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.label_OnOff.text = #"-";
}
As you can see in the screenshot, the visible cells are updated correctly. Once I scroll down to the former invisible cells, the + button disappears.
This problem doesn't occur when there are only a few items in the UICollectionView, so that there is no need to scroll to further items.
Am I doing something wrong with IndexPath for invisble cells, or do you have any other hints for me?
Thank you!
Add the below line
cell.indentView.hidden = NO;
Just before your if else condition in cellForItemAtIndexPath. it may help you.
Thx Bhanu,
your answer pointed me to the right direction. The cells in the collectionview are REUSED, so I had to set cell.label_OnOff.hidden = NO; and cell.label_OnOff.hidden = YES; when I check for the IndexPath.

I am trying to preselect some of the cell according to condition, which sets those cells selected and also change its background color while drawing those cells. Now the method
didSelectItemAtIndexPath / didDeselectItemAtIndexPath
is not getting called only for those preselected cells and hence I am not able to toggle selection and background color. The select/deselect delegate methods are being called for other cells
-(UICollectionViewCell*) collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
NSLog(#"cellForItemAtIndexPath: %#", indexPath);
CollectionViewCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:#"collectionViewCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
if(indexPath.row != 0 && indexPath.row != 8 && indexPath.section != 0 && indexPath.section != 25){
NSMutableDictionary *blockedHours = [blockedDaysArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row-1];
NSString *blockedVal = [blockedHours valueForKey:#(indexPath.section-1).stringValue];
[cell setBlockedVal:(NSString*)blockedVal];
}
[cell addDayTimeLable:indexPath];
return cell;
}
-(void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
NSLog(#"didSelectItemAtIndexPath: %# ", indexPath);
NSMutableDictionary *blockedHours = [blockedDaysArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row-1];
[blockedHours setValue:#"1" forKey:#(indexPath.section-1).stringValue];
CollectionViewCell *cell = (CollectionViewCell*)[collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.selected = YES;
}
-(void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didDeselectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
NSLog(#"didDeselectItemAtIndexPath %#", indexPath);
NSMutableDictionary *blockedHours = [blockedDaysArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row-1];
[blockedHours setValue:#"0" forKey:#(indexPath.section-1).stringValue];
CollectionViewCell *cell = (CollectionViewCell*)[collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.selected = NO;
}
In CollectionViewCell.m:
Self.selected calls the setter method and hence chagnes the background color
-(void)setBlockedVal:(NSString*)blockedVal{
if([blockedVal isEqualToString:#"1"]){
self.selected = YES;
}
}
-(void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected{
NSLog(#"set selected: %d", selected);
[super setSelected:selected];
if(selected)
self.backgroundColor = [SFIColors lightGreenColor];
else
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
}
Note:
(1) didHighlightItemAtIndexPath/didUnHighlightItemAtIndexPath are
getting called for preselected cells.
(2)I Just found out that setting selected via didselect/didunselect is
redundant and I just removed from my code.Noticed that setSeleted is
auto called on clicking the other cells. Still this setSelected is not
being for preselected cells
Any Inputs to fix this or another way that I can do my task would be of great help.
I found the answer in this link: UICollectionView - didDeselectItemAtIndexPath not called if cell is selected
I actually searched a lot actually, but only now I found this link.
I had let my collection view know about my selection and that did the trick:
[collectionView selectItemAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO scrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionNone];
I have this strange issue where my collection view is loading data from a plist file and its perfectly fine on iOS7, but not in iOS8.
My cells are only containing a UILabel that shows a specific item from a plist file. It's really just a list of strings. It works if I use it, the cells react properly and all is good, expect one thing :
The labels don't show up. If I tap it I have the data and the program runs fine.
If I browse down and up again, they reload with the proper labels.
It's really just the very first loading that does not show the labels.
I've tried putting a reloadData button to be sure it's called as late as possible, but to no avail.
Any clue?
Here is some code :
Collection view methods
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didDeselectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
UICollectionViewCell *cell = [collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.layer.borderColor = ClearColor.CGColor;
}
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"TagCell";
UICollectionViewCell *cell = [_cvTags dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UICollectionViewCell alloc]init];
[cell setRestorationIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
UILabel *lbT = (UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:1];
if (score == 1){
lbT.text = [[tags objectForKey:PLIST_Plus]valueForKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",indexPath.row]];
}
if (score == -1){
lbT.text = [[tags objectForKey:PLIST_Minus]valueForKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",indexPath.row]];
}
cell.contentView.backgroundColor = ClearColor;
cell.layer.borderColor = ClearColor.CGColor;
cell.layer.borderWidth = 3;
cell.layer.cornerRadius = 20;
return cell;
}
- (NSInteger)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
if (score == 1){
return [[tags objectForKey:PLIST_Plus] count];
}
if (score == -1){
return [[tags objectForKey:PLIST_Minus] count];
}
else{
return 0;
}
}
viewDidLoad
tags = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"tags" ofType:#"plist"]];
plist File
It's just an XML file with a dictionary.
Note :
It's really just fine on iOS7.
I have the exact same issue with a tableview on another view. But its worst. I'm filling the cells with hardcoded labels INSIDE the cellForRow method, and they still don't show until I reuse them.
I am trying to make some photoPicker with CollectionView.
Have
allowsMultipleSelection = YES
Using following method
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
selectedPictures = [NSMutableArray array];
[selectedPictures addObject:[imagesArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.item]];
NSLog(#"Selected list:\n %#", selectedPictures);
NSLog(#"Objects in Array %i", selectedPictures.count);
}
While I am selecting cells, it's always adding to MutableArray only one object according it's indexPath. What could be an issue?
Why don't u keep the selectedPictures as a member variable
in your code
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
selectedPictures = [NSMutableArray array]; //keep on creation the new array on each selection
[selectedPictures addObject:[imagesArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.item]]; //adding the selected images means single image
NSLog(#"Selected list:\n %#", selectedPictures);
NSLog(#"Objects in Array %i", selectedPictures.count);
}
try this
put his in viewDidLoad
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
selectedPictures = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init]; //initilise hear
}
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// selectedPictures = [NSMutableArray array]; //keep on creation the new array on each selection
[selectedPictures addObject:[imagesArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.item]]; //adding the selected images means single image to already initialised array
NSLog(#"Selected list:\n %#", selectedPictures);
NSLog(#"Objects in Array %i", selectedPictures.count);
}
Hope this helps u .. :)
it may be caused by not calling super. While the documentation for UICollectionReusableView fails to mention this, the documentation for UITableViewCell, which has the same method, does.
- (void)prepareForReuse
{
[super prepareForReuse]
// Your code here.
}
Old Answer:
This may be a bug with the UICollectionView.
What's happening is cells that were previously selected are being reused and maintain the selected state. The collection view isn't setting selected to "NO".
The solution is to reset the the selected state in prepareForReuse of the cell:
- (void)prepareForReuse
{
self.selected = NO;
}
If the reused cell is selected, the collection view will set selected to "YES" after prepareForReuse is called.
This is something the UICollectionView should be doing on it's own. Thankfully the solution is simple. Unfortunately I spent a ton of time working around this bug by tracking my own select state. I didn't realize why it was happening until I was working on another project with smaller cells.
Also Try this
I'm not seeing why this would take place. I do not believe the issue is the use of row vs item, though you really should use item. I can imagine, though, if your collection view has more than one section, that only looking at row/item but ignoring section would be a problem (i.e. it would select the same item number in every section).
To cut the Gordian knot, I'd suggest saving the NSIndexPath of the selected item, and then using that for the basis of comparison. That also makes it easy to render an optimization in didSelectItemAtIndexPath. Anyway, first define your property:
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSIndexPath *selectedItemIndexPath;
And then implement cellForItemAtIndexPath and didSelectItemAtIndexPath:
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"Cell";
CollectionCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.imageView.image = ...
if (self.selectedItemIndexPath != nil && [indexPath compare:self.selectedItemIndexPath] == NSOrderedSame) {
cell.imageView.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor redColor] CGColor];
cell.imageView.layer.borderWidth = 4.0;
} else {
cell.imageView.layer.borderColor = nil;
cell.imageView.layer.borderWidth = 0.0;
}
return cell;
}
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// always reload the selected cell, so we will add the border to that cell
NSMutableArray *indexPaths = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObject:indexPath];
if (self.selectedItemIndexPath)
{
// if we had a previously selected cell
if ([indexPath compare:self.selectedItemIndexPath] == NSOrderedSame)
{
// if it's the same as the one we just tapped on, then we're unselecting it
self.selectedItemIndexPath = nil;
}
else
{
// if it's different, then add that old one to our list of cells to reload, and
// save the currently selected indexPath
[indexPaths addObject:self.selectedItemIndexPath];
self.selectedItemIndexPath = indexPath;
}
}
else
{
// else, we didn't have previously selected cell, so we only need to save this indexPath for future reference
self.selectedItemIndexPath = indexPath;
}
// and now only reload only the cells that need updating
[collectionView reloadItemsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths];
}
Check also this
Your observation is correct. This behavior is happening due to the reuse of cells. But you dont have to do any thing with the prepareForReuse. Instead do your check in cellForItem and set the properties accordingly. Some thing like..
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UICollectionViewCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:#"cvCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (cell.selected) {
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor]; // highlight selection
}
else
{
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; // Default color
}
return cell;
}
-(void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UICollectionViewCell *datasetCell =[collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
datasetCell.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor]; // highlight selection
}
-(void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didDeselectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UICollectionViewCell *datasetCell =[collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
datasetCell.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; // Default color
}
I solved my issue;
The problem was very simple, I should have initialise MutableArray not in the Method didSelectItemAtIndexPath, but in the ViewDidLoad. Now it adding pictures one by one
I have used a horizontal collection view for scrolling the UILabel. In my array i have 30 item. When i scroll to the 30th item it should again show the first item, its like a circular scroll. Following is my code and image which i want to achieve.
- (NSInteger) collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return self.waitListArray.count;
}
- (UICollectionViewCell *) collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
WaitListWarningTimeCollectionViewCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:kCollectionViewIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.lblWaitingTime.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#m", self.waitListArray[indexPath.row]];
if ([self.waitListArray[indexPath.row] intValue]==0) {
cell.lblWaitingTime.text = #"Off";
}
if (indexPath.row == self.selectedIndex)
{
cell.lblWaitingTime.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
else
{
cell.lblWaitingTime.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
}
return cell;
}
you can refer iCarousel it has some great examples of the functionality you want. Here is the link

In the UICollectionView, I've got a custom UICollectionViewCellClass, where prepareForReuse is overridden for default formatting staff.
I've got an NSMutableArray containing NSIndexPaths from didSelectItemAtIndexPath:.
In cellForItemAtIndexPath: I reformat the selected cells so they appear selected.
-(UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
ButtonCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:#"ButtonCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
NSString *title = self.ingredientsBook.names[indexPath.item];
cell.label.text = title;
if ([self isSelectedIndexPath:indexPath]){
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
cell.label.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
}
return cell;
}
-(void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
self.searchButton.enabled = YES;
ButtonCell *cell = (ButtonCell *)[collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
[selectedCellIndexPaths addObject:indexPath];
NSLog(#"%#", selectedCellIndexPaths);
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
cell.label.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
NSString *name = self.ingredientsBook.names[indexPath.item];
[self.selectedIngredientNames addObject:name];
}
The problem is that when I tap the first cell it's not possible to select the 16th or 17th.
Or if I tap the first three ones it's not possible to select the three last ones.
The didSelectItemAtIndexPath is not being called I suppose.
I feel that it has to be something really simple but I can't see it right now.
I tried to put NSLogsin shouldSelectItemAtIndexPath for understand if that method was called and the method is not being called at all. This happens when there's a distance of 16 cells between the selected one and the problematic one.
Here are other data source methods and isSelectedIndexPath:
-(BOOL)isSelectedIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
for (NSIndexPath *test in selectedCellIndexPaths){
if (test == indexPath){
return YES;
}
}
return NO;
}
-(NSInteger)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return [self.ingredientsBook.names count];
}
-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInCollectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView{
return 1;
}
-(BOOL)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView shouldSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
NSLog(#"%#", indexPath);
return YES;
}
-(void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didDeselectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
self.searchButton.enabled = ([[collectionView indexPathsForSelectedItems] count] > 0);
ButtonCell *cell = (ButtonCell *)[collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
cell.label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[selectedCellIndexPaths removeObject:indexPath];
NSString *name = self.ingredientsBook.names[indexPath.item];
[self.selectedIngredientNames removeObject:name];
}
I found two problems. The prepareForReuse method seemed to be screwing things up, so I just deleted it. The main problem though, was the way you were implementing isSelectedIndexPath:. As soon as it finds the first selected item as you loop through the items, it returns YES and exits the loop. What you want to do, is just check if the indexPath is contained in the selectedCellIndexPaths array:
-(BOOL)isSelectedIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
if ([selectedCellIndexPaths containsObject:indexPath]) {
return YES;
}else{
return NO;
}
}
Or, if you prefer to use a more succinct syntax, you can replace the if-else block with:
return ([selectedCellIndexPaths containsObject:indexPath])? YES : NO;
I recently faced the exact same issue with my app. UICollectionViewCell selection worked properly prior to iOS 8.3, subsequently I started to see some strange behaviour. Cells that were not actually selected would appear selected, other cells, seemingly at random could not be selected.
I had both custom setSelected and prepareForResuse methods implemented on a UICollectionViewCell subclass as such:
-(void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected
{
[super setSelected:selected];
if (selected)
{
[[self selectedIndicator] setHidden:NO];
}
else
{
[[self selectedIndicator] setHidden:YES];
}
}
-(void)prepareForReuse
{
[[self imageView] setImage:nil];
}
The prepareForReuse method simply reset an image view in the custom cell.
In my prepareForReuse method I did not make a call to [super prepareForReuse] (which according to the documentation does nothing by default). When I added the call to [super prepareForReuse] all selection worked as intended. Although Apple states the default implementation does nothing, they also recommend that super should be called. Following this recommendation solved my issue.
In iOS 10 I found that programmatically clearing a UICollectionView that had multiple-selection enabled was buggy when prefetching was enabled. And of course prefetch is on by default in iOS 10.
