Different Cell size in a collection view in ios - ios

i already display the image as grid view using UICollectionView with equal size like follows
Next step i want to display cell as different size but the images fit into the that cell like this
this need to be work in the storyboard because other functions done in the storyboard so somebody help me..

In your collection view controller add:
- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView
layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout
sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
//return the size of the cell based on image size or other criteria
}
Add constraints to the image:

UICollectionView two rows on each scroll page

I'm trying to achieve such effect using Collection View :
UICollectionView image
Width of these cells should auto resize to width of the screen. Heights of each cell should be like 45% (10% is for this black gap). I tried a lot of combinations but I cannot achieve this in any way. Thank's in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Adrian.
Set the collectionView width to full screen. Implement these delegate method
- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout *)collectionViewLayout sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return CGSizeMake(collectionView.bounds.size.width, height);
}
- (UIEdgeInsets)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout insetForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section{
return UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, bottom, 0);
}
I have attached an image here
I have taken a CollectionView Cell fitting the size of the width of the screen and half the size of the screen, taken a UIView and dropped it inside the collection view cell with a padding of 10-15 px from the bottom, clear the colour of the collection view background and that should give u the illusion of the CollectionViewCell cells having a padding to each other.
Whatever elements you want to show in the CollectionView Please add it to the view inside the view inside the CollectionViewCell cell

Ipad UX creating news Board using UIcollectionView

I'm new on IOS development and I'm working on Ipad app for News Blog and I want to create Home screen look like this :
So my question is what's the best way to do that?
I mean, Should I create reusable view ( two views : one for the big size
post and the second for the small size post), then I add those view to my UIViewController in storyboard.
Or, create one reusable view with the big size and when I added it to storyboard I resize it (I'm not sure if this solution can be achieved and create UIview with dynamic size )?
Or, I create those view directly in my storyBoard and no need for using reusable component ?
Update
Thank's To Larme solution I've used UIcollectionView. But the problem I can't push the two first small row, in red circle, to top of screen and add under them two other small Cell
I want to have 4 small cells on the right big cell
This is my code:
- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
CGSize imgSize = CGSizeMake(230, 160);
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
//double the size for the first cell
imgSize = CGSizeMake(490, 360);
}
return imgSize;
}
-(UIEdgeInsets)collectionView:
(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout insetForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section {
return UIEdgeInsetsMake(5, 5, 5, 5);
}

Constraints issues with CollectionView

All,
I have a View Controller with a UICollectionView , and the UICollection has a collection of small images (35x35) to make a grid. I am using an inferred size of VC. I have set the top, bottom, left and right constraints..
The problem is that on the iPhone 6 the amount of cells are correct, but obviously on a iPhone 5 and iPhone 4 there is a smaller amount vertically.
How did I get it so that there is an exact amount of cells vertically on all devices ?
I am not familiar with swift, but i hope that this objective-c explanation helps:
In your -(CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath method you can specify the width and height of your cell.
for example if you only want 2 cells per row and 3 per column user this:
-(CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
CGRect screen = [[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds];
return CGSizeMake(screen.size.width/2 - YourHorizontalPadding, screen.size.height/3- YourVerticalPadding);
}
The vertical and horizontal padding is the space you have between your cells, you will have to tweak them to get the desired result.
Hope that helps, let me know if something is not clear.

Why there is a black gap between UICollectionView cells?

I want to display several cells in a UICollectionView in this manner: each cell is like a page to user, and an active UICollectionViewCell should occupy the full bound of the UICollectionView.
However for some reasons, there is black gap between cells after scrolling right.
Why does it happen?
I have already defined this function to control the size of "page" view:
- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// the size is half of the screen
return CGSizeMake(self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height/2.0);
}
Looks like you need to set minSpacing to 0.
This sets the minimum gap between each item and also between the items and the edge of the collection view.

Different size collectionviewcells

http://postimg.org/image/6bws3catp/
As you can see on the image I need something that gives me the possibility of resizing a cell depending on the length of the text that contains.
I' ve been trying to do that with a UICollectionview but the cells have always the same size and if I try to alterate the size playing with the frame.size and location parameters the scroll gets crazy.
Maybe the UICollectionView isn't the best choice...
Thank you very much
EDIT:
Because of your answers my cells are able to change dynamically their size but the margins aren't behaving as I expected.
The margins of the cells depends always on the biggest cell of the same row
http://postimg.org/image/3scthf9rv/
- (CGFloat)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section{
return 6;
}
I have implement this to set my margin value between cells in 6 points, but maybe this only works when you have one cell in each row in a vertical collection view..
Thank you again for all your help
You can check out https://github.com/bryceredd/RFQuiltLayout . Looks
like something you can use for this...
you can override the following method and return a CGSize object that specifies the size you want to use for each cell. Using this method, you can actually have each cell be a different size:
- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
Example:
- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return CGSizeMake(100, 100);
}
Your view controller needs to be a delegate of UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout in order for this method to be called. So don't forget to add that delegate declaration to your view controller's .h file, such as:
#interface MyViewController () <UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout>
UICollectionView is the correct choice. You just need to customise the flow layout attributes.
Read Customizing the Flow Layout Attributes
Specifically you would need to implement Collection View Delegate method:
- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// In this method you can calculate the size of the string for each cell
UIFont *font = // font to create the text for each cell
NSString *string = // text string for each cell
CGSize size = [string sizeWithFont];
return size;
}
