How to detect scrolling to an end of an horizontal UICollectionView - ios

Question

do you know a way in order to detect when a user has scrolled to the end (or the beginning) of an UICollectionView (in order to load new content). Since the UICollectionView scrolls horizontally and not vertically, I am not interested to the scrolling to top/bottom but to leftmost/rightmost.
The only way I found so far is to subclass the UICollectionView and then register the view controller as a delegate that is informed of when the collection view willLayoutSubviews and perform calculations accordingly.
But let's say I don't want to subclass UICollectionView, is there a way to detect the scrolling to the end/beginning of UICollectionView?
EDIT:
since UICollectionView inherits from UIScrollView, I can use its delegate methods. How does it work with with horizontal scrolling?
Thank you

Answer 1

- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
CGFloat offsetX = scrollView.contentOffset.x;
CGFloat contentWidth = scrollView.frame.size.width;
NSLog(#"offset X %.0f", offsetX);
// If your UICollectionView has 3 cell, the contentWidth is 320,
// When you scroll from beginning to end of the UICollectionView, it will print:
// offset X 0
// offset X 1
// offset X 2
// ......
// offset X 320
// offset X 640
}

- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
if ([scrollView isKindOfClass:[UICollectionView class]] == YES) {
CGFloat threshold = 100.0 ;
CGFloat contentOffset = scrollView.contentOffset.x;
CGFloat maximumOffset = scrollView.contentSize.width - scrollView.frame.size.width;
if ((maximumOffset - contentOffset <= threshold) && (maximumOffset - contentOffset != -5.0) ){
//Your code
}
}
}
