How do I know that the UICollectionView has been loaded completely?

I have to do some operation whenever UICollectionView has been loaded completely, i.e. at that time all the UICollectionView's datasource / layout methods should be called. How do I know that?? Is there any delegate method to know UICollectionView loaded status?

Solution 1:

This worked for me:

[self.collectionView reloadData];
[self.collectionView performBatchUpdates:^{}
                              completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                                  /// collection-view finished reload
                              }];

Swift 4 syntax:

collectionView.reloadData()
collectionView.performBatchUpdates(nil, completion: {
    (result) in
    // ready
})

Solution 2:

// In viewDidLoad
[self.collectionView addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"contentSize" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld context:NULL];

- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary  *)change context:(void *)context
{
    // You will get here when the reloadData finished 
}

- (void)dealloc
{
    [self.collectionView removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@"contentSize" context:NULL];
}
