class CustomCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell {
#IBOutlet var AssetImage: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet var assetLabeldesc: UILabel!
override init(frame: CGRect)
{
super.init(frame: frame)
}
required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
}
}
2)
class CustomTableViewCell: UITableViewCell,UICollectionViewDataSource,UICollectionViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet var AssetCollectionView: UICollectionView!
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
}
required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
// fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
var folderCount:Int?
{
didSet(value)
{
}
}
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
var aFlowLayout : UICollectionViewFlowLayout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
aFlowLayout.scrollDirection = UICollectionViewScrollDirection.Horizontal
aFlowLayout.itemSize = CGSizeMake(60.0, 90.0)
aFlowLayout.minimumLineSpacing = 10.0
aFlowLayout.minimumInteritemSpacing = 0.0
aFlowLayout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(2, 9, 0, 10)
AssetCollectionView.collectionViewLayout = aFlowLayout
AssetCollectionView.registerClass(CustomCollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "CollectionViewCell")
var cNib:UINib? = UINib(nibName: "CustomCollectionViewCell", bundle: nil)
AssetCollectionView.registerNib(cNib, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "CollectionViewCell")
AssetCollectionView.frame = self.bounds
// Initialization code
}
override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
class func CreateCustomCell() -> CustomTableViewCell
{
var nibElements: Array = NSBundle.mainBundle().loadNibNamed("CustomTableViewCell", owner: self, options: nil)
var item: AnyObject?
for item in nibElements
{
if item is UITableViewCell
{
return item as CustomTableViewCell
}
}
return item as CustomTableViewCell
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell
{
var cell :CustomCollectionViewCell? = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("CollectionViewCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as? CustomCollectionViewCell
//hear u can modify which image to be displayed in the collection view cell
let imageNameString = "Logo.png"
let front = UIImage(named: imageNameString)
cell?.AssetImage.backgroundColor = UIColor.orangeColor()
cell?.AssetImage.image = front
cell?.assetLabeldesc.text = "Card:\(indexPath.row)"
return cell!
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return folderCount!
}
func numberOfSectionsInCollectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int {
return 1
}
3)
class AssetViewController: UIViewController,UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate
{
var cardCountArray:[Int] = []
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
cardCountArray = [5,15,6,12,7,10]
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int
{
return cardCountArray.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int
{
return 1
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
var cell:CustomTableViewCell? = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CELL") as? CustomTableViewCell;
if(cell == nil)
{
cell = CustomTableViewCell.CreateCustomCell()
}
cell?.folderCount = cardCountArray[indexPath.section]
cell?.AssetCollectionView.reloadData()
cell?.clipsToBounds = true
return cell!;
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat
{
return 100.0
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
var headerView:UIView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, 70.0))
var labelTitle:UILabel = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, 35))
var descriptionTitle:UILabel = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 20,tableView.bounds.size.width , 30))
headerView.addSubview(labelTitle)
headerView.addSubview(descriptionTitle)
labelTitle.text = "GroupName:\(section)"
descriptionTitle.text = "Description \(cardCountArray[section])"
return headerView
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 50.0
}
/*
// MARK: - Navigation
// In a storyboard-based application, you will often want to do a little preparation before navigation
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
// Get the new view controller using segue.destinationViewController.
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
}``
*/
}
Can anybody tell me what am missing?

Answer 1

It appears you are adding the subview for some elements but not for your collectionView:
I see the views added for the labels:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
headerView.addSubview(labelTitle)
headerView.addSubview(descriptionTitle)
You will need to add the collection view as well. You can do it here so it is added to every cell:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
var cell:CustomTableViewCell? = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CELL") as? CustomTableViewCell;
I approached this without using addSubview on another project. In my case I initiated the
collectionView.datasource = self
collectionView.delegate = self
I posted a similar question recently and someone responded with an approach that may help you. UICollectionView cells with Images inside UITableView prototype
