How to select the Collection View cell images using allows multiple selection is not working. Please suggest me idea or links

forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.navigationControllerContainer = self.navigationController;
ALAsset *photo = [self.imageArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
ALAssetRepresentation *rep = [photo defaultRepresentation];
CGImageRef ref = [rep fullScreenImage];
UIImage *img = [[UIImage alloc] initWithCGImage:ref];
cell.image = img;
NSLog(#"clicked");
return cell;
}

return self.view.bounds.size;
}

[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}

To select single or multiple items in collection view you need to implement UIColectionViewDelegate. You also need to add NSMutableArray where you will keep selected items (selectedItems).
#pragma mark - UICollectionViewDelegate
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
Item *item = self.yourArray[indexPath.row];
[selectedItems addObject: item];
}
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didDeselectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
Item *item = self.yourArray[indexPath.row];
[selectedItems removeObject:item];
}
The last thing left to do is add button to toogle between selected and non-selected state:
-(IBAction)toogleButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
UIBarButtonItem *toogleButton = (UIBarButtonItem *)sender;
if (!self.selected)
{
self.selected = YES;
[toogleButton setTitle:#"Done"];
[self.collectionView setAllowsMultipleSelection:YES];
}
else
{
self.selected = NO;
[toogleButton setTitle:#"Select"];
[self.collectionView setAllowsMultipleSelection:NO];
for(NSIndexPath *iP in self.collectionView.indexPathsForSelectedItems)
{
[self.collectionView deselectItemAtIndexPath:iP animated:NO];
}
[selectedItems removeAllObjects];
}
}
Hope this help.

The error you're seeing is pretty clear. You're trying to dequeue a reusable view but the collection view doesn't know anything about the reuse identifier you're passing.
You need to call registerClass:forSupplementaryViewOfKind:withReuseIdentifier: before dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:withReuseIdentifier:forIndexPath: is called. I typically call one of the register methods in viewDidLoad so all the setup is done and I can just call the dequeue method. If you're loading your custom header and footer views from nib you can use the registerNib:forSupplementaryViewOfKind:withReuseIdentifier: method.
Edit
I see you updated the code. You need to move these lines
UICollectionViewFlowLayout *layout= [[UICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc]init];
self.collectionView = [[UICollectionView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 390, 300) collectionViewLayout:layout];
above the lines where you're calling the register class methods. You cannot send messages to an object before you allocate and initialize it.
If you are not displaying anything on the header then how could you expect header view to show you something on header part of UICollectionView.Try following code.This is working code
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
arry=[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"One",#"Two",#"Three",#"Four", nil];
[_collectionView registerClass:[UICollectionViewCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:#"cellIdentifier"];
[self.collectionView registerClass:[UICollectionReusableView class] forSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader withReuseIdentifier:#"HeaderView"];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
- (NSInteger)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [arry count];
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInCollectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView
{
return 20;
}
// The cell that is returned must be retrieved from a call to -dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:forIndexPath:
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UICollectionViewCell *cell=[collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:#"cellIdentifier" forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (cell==nil) {
cell=[[UICollectionViewCell alloc] init];
}
UILabel *label = (UILabel*)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:21];
if (label==nil) {
label=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 60, 60)];
label.tag = 21;
[cell.contentView addSubview:label];
}
label.text = [arry objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSLog(#"cell is %#",NSStringFromCGRect(cell.frame));
return cell;
}
- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return CGSizeMake(60, 60);
}
- (UIEdgeInsets)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout insetForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section
{
UIEdgeInsets insets=UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 10);
return insets;
}
- (UICollectionReusableView *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind:(NSString *)kind atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if ([kind isEqualToString:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader]) {
UICollectionReusableView *reusableview = [collectionView dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader withReuseIdentifier:#"HeaderView" forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (reusableview==nil) {
reusableview=[[UICollectionReusableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
}
UILabel *label=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
label.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Recipe Group #%i", indexPath.section + 1];
[reusableview addSubview:label];
return reusableview;
}
return nil;
}
why are you adding lblHeader to self.collectionView add to headerView.And return headerView.Replace your code with it
if (kind == UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader) {
UICollectionReusableView *headerView = [self.collectionView dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader withReuseIdentifier:nil forIndexPath:indexPath];
self.lblHeader = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(120, 10, 100, 30)];
self.lblHeader.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.lblHeader.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
self.lblHeader.text = #"Level 1";
// [self.collectionView addSubview:self.lblHeader];
[headerView addSubview:self.lblHeader];
return headerView;
}
Typically you put this register line in the viewDidLoad or some sort of initialize so that it is not called over and over again. But mainly you have some confusion. You register a class for the header but you dequeue a class on the footer. You should register a class for both and dequeue the right one for each.
Notice your register uses UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader:
[self.collectionView registerClass:[UICollectionReusableView class] forSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader withReuseIdentifier:#"header"];
Notice your dequeue uses UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter :
UICollectionReusableView *supplementaryView = [self.collectionView dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter withReuseIdentifier:#"header" forIndexPath:indexPath];
hope that helps.
try this :
//ON top
static NSString *headerViewIdentifier = #"Test Header View";
static NSString *footerViewIdentifier = #"Test Footer View";
- (UICollectionReusableView *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind:(NSString *)kind atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *identifier = nil;
if ([kind isEqualToString:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader]) {
identifier = headerViewIdentifier;
}
else if ([kind isEqualToString:UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter]) {
identifier = footerViewIdentifier;
}
// TODO Setup view
UICollectionReusableView *supplementaryView = [collectionView dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter withReuseIdentifier:identifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
return supplementaryView;

Add the spinner directly to the cell view felt a little hacky, so I used a 1x1 transparent png as the image view and resized it to be whatever my spinner size is:
UITableViewCell *cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:#"NoReuse"] autorelease];
cell.textLabel.text = #"Loading...";
UIActivityIndicatorView *spinner = [[[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]
initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray] autorelease];
// Spacer is a 1x1 transparent png
UIImage *spacer = [UIImage imageNamed:#"spacer"];
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(spinner.frame.size);
[spacer drawInRect:CGRectMake(0,0,spinner.frame.size.width,spinner.frame.size.height)];
UIImage* resizedSpacer = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
cell.imageView.image = resizedSpacer;
[cell.imageView addSubview:spinner];
[spinner startAnimating];
return cell;
That gives a cell that looks like this:

How to pass data to detail view after being selected in a table view?

I get one error for:

Use of undeclaired identifier: indexPath. did you mean NSIndexPath? I think I've missed something important here..
Instead of indexPath.row (which doesn't exist in this function like it does in your tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: function where it is passed as an argument) use selectedRowIndex like this:
winesdetailViewController.winedetailName = [wine objectAtIndex:selectedRowIndex.row] valueForKey:#"Name"];
Or, even better yet, change your detail view controller to just accept the whole dictionary, pass the dictionary, and let it set its' own values:
winesdetailViewController.winedetail = [wine objectAtIndex:selectedRowIndex.row];
The error is correct, there is no variable indexPath defined there. However, just a couple lines above that line you define selectedRowIndex which probably has the value that you're after.

iPhone: How to allow multiple selection in tabelview for a custom cell?

How can I adapt this to be able to make multiple selections? and get the selected ones
- (id)initWithCellIdentifier:(NSString *)cellID {
if ((self = [super initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellID])) {
UITableViewCell *cell=self;
UIImage *cry = [UIImage APP_CRYSTAL_SELECT];
self.leftImage = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:cry] autorelease] ;
[self.contentView addSubview:leftImage];
}
And the selected method is:
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated {
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
if(selected)
{
NSArray *subviews=[self.contentView subviews];
for(UIView* view in subviews){
if([view isEqual:self.leftImage]){
[self.leftImage setHighlightedImage:[UIImage APP_CRYSTAL_SELECTED]];
}
}
}
else
{
NSArray *subviews=[self.contentView subviews];
for(UIView* view in subviews){
if([view isEqual:self.leftImage]){
[self.leftImage setHighlightedImage:[UIImage APP_CRYSTAL_SELECT]];
}
}
}
}
For multiple selection, setup an NSMutableArray ivar (selectedIndexPaths in this case) to hold the items that are selected. In didSelectRowAtIndexPath add or remove indexPaths to this array.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if(![self.selectedIndexPaths containsObject:indexPath])
[self.selectedIndexPaths addObject:indexPath];
else
[self.selectedIndexPaths removeObject:indexPath];
}
Use selectedIndexPaths later to do whatever you wish! Cheers!

Thanks :D
Actually even unloading of the view will be enough to throw away the cells. Try this in your viewDidLoad:
if(!cells) {
NSString * myFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"cells" ofType:#"plist"];
self.myTableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
cells = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:myFile];
}
(this way you won't be rereading the array every time the view is loaded).
And if you want the added cells to persist between app restarts, you do need to save them somewhere. You can't change the files in the main bundle, but you can write your own file into the Caches folder, which you can get via:
[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
Write your file into that folder and read the cells from there instead of the main bundle. If you have some pre-defined cells in the main bundle file, you can check if the file in the Caches folder exists when the app starts, and if not, copy the bundle's file into the Caches folder.
Edit: if you do presentModalViewController to get back from the another page, you'll get a fresh copy of FacePlatesViewController, which obviously loads the default cells from the file.
Instead, you should add a "delegate" property to your FirstFolderViewController:
#property(nonatomic, assign) id delegate; //yes, assign, not retain
then when presenting FirstFolderViewController do:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
FirstFolderViewController * first = [[FirstFolderViewController alloc]init];
first.delegate = self;
first.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:first animated:YES];
[first release];
}
Then add a method to FacePlatesViewController:
- (void) onDoneWithFirstFolderViewController //you can come up with a better name
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
and in your FirstFolderViewController, when you are ready to close it, do:
if([delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(onDoneWithFirstFolderViewController)])
[delegate onDoneWithFirstFolderViewController];
Ironically, if you had implemented the cell persistence in a file, this issue might have been unnoticed (because each new FacePlatesViewController would load an up-to-date cell list), but you would have had a memory leak each time you went between pages.
To me, the problem seems to be related to your code in ViewWillAppear: Have you ensured that your cells array is fine when you call [self.myTableView reloadData]; ?
Also, I noticed myTableView. Are you subclassing UITableViewController or implementing table delegates? If you are subclassing, the table view reference is named tableView.
HTH,
