Section Header Collectionview - swift

I have tried to add a section header to my grid collectionview but I keep getting this error.
Thread 1: "the view returned from -collectionView:viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind:atIndexPath: was not retrieved by calling -dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:withReuseIdentifier:forIndexPath: for element kind 'UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter' at index path <NSIndexPath: 0xfa8d71d0dca3589b> {length = 2, path = 0 - 0}; supplementary view: <UICollectionReusableView: 0x7fba7296bdc0; frame = (0 0; 0 0); layer = <CALayer: 0x6000013f48a0>>"
My SectionHeader
class SectionHeader: UICollectionReusableView {
var label: UILabel = {
let label: UILabel = UILabel()
label.textColor = KSColor.neutral400.getColor()
label.lineSpacing = -0.12
label.font = .sfProTextMedium(size: 12)
label.sizeToFit()
return label
}()

My collectionview controller
class SelfServiceCollectionViewController: UICollectionViewController {
func setUpCollectionView() {
gridCollectionView.register(UINib(nibName: "EmptyCollectionViewCell", bundle: nil), forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "emptyCell")
gridCollectionView.register(UINib(nibName: "SelfServiceRootCollectionViewCell", bundle: nil), forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "selfServiceRootCell")
gridCollectionView.register(UINib(nibName: "SelfServiceChildCollectionViewCell", bundle: nil), forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "selfServiceChildCell")
gridCollectionView.register(SectionHeader.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: "header")
}
// MARK: Header
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
if kind == UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader {
let sectionHeader = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "header", for: indexPath) as! SectionHeader
sectionHeader.label.text = parentVC.selfServiceArray[indexPath.section].categoryName.uppercased()
return sectionHeader
} else {
return UICollectionReusableView()
}
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
if parentVC.selfServiceArray.isEmpty {
return CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
} else {
if parentVC.selfServiceArray[section].categoryName == "" {
return CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
} else {
return CGSize(width: 250, height: 50)
}
}
}
When I remove
if kind == UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader {
from code I get this error instead of previous one
Thread 1: "could not dequeue a view of kind: UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter with identifier header - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard"
I did not create a nib file for it. Why does it need it? I am adding label programmatically.

I registered both header and footer
gridCollectionView.register(SectionHeader.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: "header")
gridCollectionView.register(SectionHeader.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionFooter, withReuseIdentifier: "header")
then separated kind to a switch case as below
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader:
let sectionHeader = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "header", for: indexPath) as! SectionHeader
sectionHeader.label.text = parentVC.selfServiceArray[indexPath.section].categoryName.uppercased()
return sectionHeader
case UICollectionView.elementKindSectionFooter:
let sectionFooter = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "header", for: indexPath) as! SectionHeader
sectionFooter.label.text = ""
return sectionFooter
default:
assert(false, "Unexpected element kind")
}
}
worked

How to achieve a dynamic CollectionView Cell Height (Size for item at)?

I have decided start a project with no storyboard for the first time and at the moment I am stuck trying to figuring out how to achieve a proper dynamic cell in my CollectionViewController. Reading some of the solutions here in Stackoverflow I got the point in using a layout.estimatedItemSize but it somehow stops the bouncing effect from the collection view and also in my second cell which is a horizontal scroll view will not work after this implementation.
Here is my code(UICollectionViewController):
class InfoEmpaVC: UICollectionViewController, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
fileprivate let cell1 = "cell1"
fileprivate let cell2 = "cell2"
fileprivate let cellID = "cellID"
fileprivate let headerID = "headerID"
fileprivate let padding: CGFloat = 10
//
//
//GET THE DATA FROM:
var empanada: Empanadas!
struct Cells {
static let empanadaStepsCell = "EmpanadaStepsCell"
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
setupCollectionViewLayout()
setupCollectionView()
}
//CHANGE COLOR OF STATUS BAR
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
return .lightContent
}
fileprivate func setupCollectionView() {
collectionView.backgroundColor = UIColor(named: "ColorBackground")
collectionView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never
collectionView.delegate = self
collectionView.dataSource = self
collectionView.register(InfoHeaderVC.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: headerID)
//FirstCELL
collectionView.register(EmpaIngredientsListCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: cell1)
//SecondCELL
collectionView.register(EmpaStepsCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: cellID)
}
fileprivate func setupCollectionViewLayout() {
if let layout = collectionViewLayout as? UICollectionViewFlowLayout {
layout.sectionInset = .init(top: padding, left: padding, bottom: padding, right: padding)
layout.estimatedItemSize = CGSize(width: view.frame.width, height: 50)
}
}
var headerView: InfoHeaderVC!
//HEADER COLLECTION VIEW
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: headerID, for: indexPath) as? InfoHeaderVC
headerView.empaImageView.image = UIImage(named: empanada.image)
headerView.empaTitleLabel.text = empanada.name
headerView.empaDescriptionLabel.text = empanada.info
headerView.buttonX.addTarget(self, action: #selector(dismissVC), for: .touchUpInside)
headerView.buttonAddFavorite.addTarget(self, action: #selector(addButtonTapped), for: .touchUpInside)
return headerView!
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
return .init(width: view.frame.width, height: 350)
}
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 2
}
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {

}
//INGREDIENT LIST

cellOne.empaIngredientList.configure()
return cellOne
} else {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: cellID, for: indexPath) as! EmpaStepsCell
cell.pasos.append(contentsOf: empanada.pasos)
cell.titleHeaderLabel.text = "Step by Step"
cell.configure()
print (cell.pasos.count)
return cell
}
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
if indexPath.item == 0 {
return .init(width: view.frame.width - 2 * padding, height: 300)
} else {
return .init(width: view.frame.width - 2 * padding, height: 300)
}
}

Adding an Image to UICollection Header Swift

I'm looking to implement an image within the header of a collection view. This is the code that I have so far, but no header appears when I test. Am I missing something?
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let view = UIView()
let image = UIImageView()
image.frame = CGRect(x: collectionView.frame.width - 10 , y: 0, width: 20, height: 20)
image.image = UIImage.init(named: "trophyCase")
view.addSubview(image)
return view
}
UICollectionViewDelegate doesn't offer such a method as viewForHeaderInSection
Instead you can use viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind method of UICollectionViewDataSource
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
guard kind == UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader else {
fatalError("Unrecognized element of kind: \(kind)")
}
let view: ReusableHeaderView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: kind, for: indexPath) as! ReusableHeaderView
view.imageView.image = UIImage.init(named: "trophyCase")
view.imageView.frame = CGRect(x: collectionView.frame.width - 10 , y: 0, width: 20, height: 20)
return view
}
You are also required to register elementKindSectionHeader
collectionView.register(ReusableHeaderView.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader)
Following will be your ReusableHeaderView
class ReusableHeaderView: UICollectionReusableView {
let imageView = UIImageView()
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
self.setupUI()
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
self.setupUI()
}
private func setupUI() {
self.addSubview(imageView)
// Instead of settings imageView.frame, add following to use autolayout constraints
self.imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
imageView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.topAnchor),
imageView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.trailingAnchor, constant: -10.0),
imageView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 20.0),
imageView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 20.0)
])
}
}
Create a view subclassing UICollectionReusableView:
class HeaderView: UICollectionReusableView {
let imageView: UIImageView = {
let iv = UIImageView(image: /*put your image here*/)
iv.clipsToBounds = true
iv.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
return iv
}()
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
backgroundColor = .white
addSubview(imageView)
imageView.fillSuperview() // Check extension below
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
}
Then in your ViewController, first create a reuseIdentifier for your view:
fileprivate let headerId = "headerId"
After that register your custom view in collectionView(lets do it in viewDidLoad):
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
collectionView.register(HeaderView.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: headerId)
}
Declare your custom view as optional in your vc:
var headerView: HeaderView?
Then override viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind method of the collectionView to initialize headerView:
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: headerId, for: indexPath) as? HeaderView
return headerView!
}
Then implement another collectionView method to give your headerView a size:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, referenceSizeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGSize {
return .init(width: view.frame.width, height: 340) // edit width and height as you please.
}
Extension for fillSuperView used in initialization of custom view:
extension UIView {
func fillSuperview(withPadding padding: UIEdgeInsets = .zero) {
translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
if let superview = superview {
topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: superview.topAnchor, constant: padding.top).isActive = true
leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: superview.leftAnchor, constant: padding.left).isActive = true
rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: superview.rightAnchor, constant: -padding.right).isActive = true
bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: superview.bottomAnchor, constant: -padding.bottom).isActive = true
}
}
}
Now it should work as header view for your collectionView.

Creating UICollectionView which can scroll horizontally and vertically with Swift

I'm trying to create an UICollectionView which can scroll horizontally and vertically.
Here are my codes:
Here is the Model:
import UIKit
class AppCategory: NSObject {
var name: String?
var apps: [App]?
static func sampleAppCategories() -> [AppCategory] {
// Chapter 1
let chapter1 = AppCategory()
chapter1.name = NSLocalizedString("CHAPTER 1: ", comment: "1") + NSLocalizedString("19 Sections", comment: "title")
var apps1 = [App]()
let chapter1App = App()
chapter1App.imageName = "IMG_2487"
let chapter11App = App()
chapter11App.imageName = "IMG_2502"
let chapter12App = App()
chapter12App.imageName = "IMG_2507"
apps1.append(chapter1App)
apps1.append(chapter11App)
apps1.append(chapter12App)
chapter1.apps = apps1
// Chapter 2
let chapter2 = AppCategory()
chapter2.name = NSLocalizedString("CHAPTER 2: ", comment: "2") + NSLocalizedString("19 Sections", comment: "title")
var apps2 = [App]()
let chapter2App = App()
chapter2App.imageName = "IMG_2508"
apps2.append(chapter2App)
chapter2.apps = apps2
// Chapter 3
let chapter3 = AppCategory()
chapter3.name = NSLocalizedString("CHAPTER 3: ", comment: "title") + NSLocalizedString("19 Sections", comment: "title")
var apps3 = [App]()
let chapter3App = App()
chapter3App.imageName = "IMG_2510"
apps3.append(chapter3App)
chapter3.apps = apps3
// Chapter 4
let chapter4 = AppCategory()
chapter4.name = NSLocalizedString("CHAPTER 4: ", comment: "title") + NSLocalizedString("19 Sections", comment: "title")
var apps4 = [App]()
let chapter4App = App()
chapter4App.imageName = "IMG_2511"
apps4.append(chapter4App)
chapter4.apps = apps4
return [chapter1, chapter2, chapter3, chapter4]
}
}
class App: NSObject {
var imageName: String?
}
Here is the FeatureViewController:
import UIKit
class FeaturedViewController: UICollectionViewController, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
var appCategories: [AppCategory]?
let verticalCellId = "verticalCellId"
let horizontalCellId = "horizontalCellId"

}
return 0
}
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: verticalCellId, for: indexPath) as! FeaturedVerticalCell
cell.appCategory = appCategories?[indexPath.item]
return cell
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, minimumLineSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {

switch UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom {
case .phone:
collectionView.reloadData()
return CGSize(width:view.frame.width, height: view.frame.width / 5 * 4 )
case .pad:
let padding: CGFloat = 50
let collectionViewSize = collectionView.frame.size.width - padding
collectionView.reloadData()
return CGSize(width: collectionViewSize / 5 * 4, height: collectionViewSize / 5 * 3 )
case .tv:
break
case .carPlay:
break
case .unspecified:
break
}
return CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
}
}
Here is the FeaturedVerticalCell:
import UIKit
struct Titles {
var title: String?

But now I got a problem: the rows in horizontal sections will change somehow when I scroll vertically. Any way to get it back to work normally?
Don't know what's wrong there on earth, but finally I got it work. Here you go:

}
}
}
let photoImageView: UIImageView = {
let iv = UIImageView()
iv.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
iv.clipsToBounds = true
iv.layer.cornerRadius = 9
iv.layer.masksToBounds = true
iv.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return iv
}()
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)

photoImageView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.topAnchor, constant: 36).isActive = true
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {

}
And the model stays as it was described in the question.

Swift 3: Be able to tap view behind a collectionViewCell?

I am working on a new feature in my app where I want a user to have an image and then be able to swipe through a collectionView on top of that image, adding "filters". The issue that I have is that I want the user to still be able to interact with the image, but it is behind the collectionView. If I set the collectionViews inUsersInteractionEnabled to false, of course I then cannot use the collectionView at all. I am going for a similar functionality to Snapchats "scroll through filters" feature. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you guys. Code is below:
import UIKit
class FirstCell: UICollectionViewCell {
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
setupViews()
}
func setupViews() {
backgroundColor = .clear
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
}
class SecondCell: UICollectionViewCell {
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
setupViews()
}
let cellView: UIView = {
let view = UIView()
view.backgroundColor = .red
view.alpha = 0.25
return view
}()
func setupViews() {
backgroundColor = .clear
addSubview(cellView)
cellView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.frame.width, height: self.frame.height)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")

There is a hitTest(_::) method available to override in any of the UIView subclass, which you can implement in your custom UICollectionView subclass and forward taps from it to any other view (the image behind collection view in your case).
override func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint,
with event: UIEvent?) -> UIView? {
let hitView = super.hitTest(point, with: event)
if self.parentViewController.forwardTapToImageIfNeeded(point) {
return nil
}
return hitView
}
Where parentViewController is a reference to your SecondController instance, which should have forwardTapToImageIfNeeded(_) function to check if user's tap is on top of the image frame, and if it is — automatically pass tap event to it.
func forwardTapToImageIfNeeded(_ p: CGPoint) -> Bool {
/* Convert point to local coordinates */
let pointInSuperView = self.convert(p, from: collectionView)
/* Check if tap is on top of the image frame */
if imageBehindCollection.frame.contains(pointInSuperView) {
// Forward tap to the image `imageBehindCollection`
return true
}
return false
}
Note: I didn't test this particular code by myself, so it might need a few fixes in Xcode.

UICollectionView self sizing cells. Insert/reloadData breaks layout

Writing this question as my last resort, being stuck on this for few days now. I am trying to implement self sizing cells for UICollectionView with FlowLayout. Everything seem to work fine until I reladData() or do insertItemsAtIndexPaths() while being at the bottom of the collectionView.
This is my Cell:
class FooFoo: UICollectionViewCell {
var label: UILabel!
var text: String! {
didSet {
label.text = text
}
}
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
setupView()
setupConstraints()
}
required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
func setupView() {
self.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.yellowColor()
label = ({
let view = UILabel()
view.setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints(false)
self.contentView.addSubview(view)
return view
})()
}
func setupConstraints() {
self.contentView.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat("H:|-100-[childView]-100-|", options: nil, metrics: nil, views: ["childView": label]))
self.contentView.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat("V:|-100-[childView]-100-|", options: nil, metrics: nil, views: ["childView": label]))
}
}
This is CollectionView definition:
collectionView = ({
let layout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
layout.minimumLineSpacing = 1
layout.estimatedItemSize = CGSize(width: 300, height: 300)
let view = UICollectionView(frame: self.view.frame, collectionViewLayout: layout)
view.dataSource = self
view.delegate = self
view.registerClass(FooFoo.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "Cell")
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
self.view.addSubview(view)
return view
})()
This is dataSource:
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return items.count
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! FooFoo
cell.text = "FooBar: \(indexPath.item)"
return cell
}
After I fetch additional items, i tried both inserting new array of indexes, or reloading data and the result is the same - broken layout.
I also tried replacing estimatedItemSize with itemSize and it did work just fine, so I am pretty certain its because self-sizing cells.
This is the result:
