How can we reload header view inside our collection view - swift

Question

I've been looking for a way to reload my collection view header. So I have a collection view header & a CollectionViewCell that only contains an image. Now when the cell is press, I would like to display the image in the header view without calling collectionView.reloadData(). This is how my didSelectItemAt & didDeselectItemAt method looks like.
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
selectedImage = images[indexPath.item]
let imageCell = collectionView.cellForItem(at: indexPath) as! CollectionCell
imageCell.photoBackgroundView.backgroundColor = .red
collectionView.reloadData()
}
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didDeselectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let imageCell = collectionView.cellForItem(at: indexPath) as! ImagePickerCell
imageCell.photoBackgroundView.backgroundColor = .black
}
So when I select a cell the view turns red, when I deselect it the view turns black. This video here, shows how the behavior without reloading the collectionView. Now here is were I would like to reload the header view.
If I do use collectionView.reloadData(), this is the outcome. How would I be able to reload the header or the collectionView where the header view displays the selected cell image & turns red.

Answer 1

You can try like global instance for that. Like
class YourClass: UIViewController {
/// Profile imageView
var profileImageview = UIImageView()
}
In CollectionView cellforItem assign a imageview. Like
let imageCell = collectionView.cellForItem(at: indexPath) as! CollectionCell
profileImageview = imageCell.imageView
Then when every you selecting collectionViewCell
You can call a function to change a image of imageView. Like
func updateImage() {
profileImageview.image = UIImage()
}

Well I'm trying to understand why sometimes you cast the cell in CollectionCell and sometimes in ImagePickerCell, anyway try to change your functions in these
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let cell = collectionView.cellForItem(at: indexPath) as! CollectionCell
cell?.photoBackgroundView.backgroundColor = .red
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didDeselectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let cell = collectionView.cellForItem(at: indexPath) as! CollectionCell
cell?.photoBackgroundView.backgroundColor = .black
}
