UICollectionView current visible cell index

I am using UICollectionView first time in my iPad application. I have set UICollectionView such that its size and cell size is same, means only once cell is displayed at a time.

Problem: Now when user scroll UICollectionView I need to know which cell is visible I have to update other UI elements on change. I didn't find any delegate method for this. How can I achieve this?

Code:

[self.mainImageCollection setTag:MAIN_IMAGE_COLLECTION_VIEW];
[self.mainImageCollection registerClass:[InspirationMainImageCollectionCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"cellIdentifier"];
[self.mainImageFlowLayout setScrollDirection:UICollectionViewScrollDirectionHorizontal];
[self.mainImageFlowLayout setMinimumInteritemSpacing:0.0f];
[self.mainImageFlowLayout setMinimumLineSpacing:0.0f];
self.mainImageFlowLayout.minimumLineSpacing = 0;
[self.mainImageCollection setPagingEnabled:YES];
[self.mainImageCollection setShowsHorizontalScrollIndicator:NO];
[self.mainImageCollection setCollectionViewLayout:self.mainImageFlowLayout];

What I have tried:

As UICollectionView conforms to UIScrollView, I got when user scroll ends with UIScrollViewDelegate method

-(void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView

But inside above function how can I get current visible cell index of UICollectionView ?

indexPathsForVisibleItems might work for most situations, but sometimes it returns an array with more than one index path and it can be tricky figuring out the one you want. In those situations, you can do something like this:

CGRect visibleRect = (CGRect){.origin = self.collectionView.contentOffset, .size = self.collectionView.bounds.size};
CGPoint visiblePoint = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(visibleRect), CGRectGetMidY(visibleRect));
NSIndexPath *visibleIndexPath = [self.collectionView indexPathForItemAtPoint:visiblePoint];

This works especially well when each item in your collection view takes up the whole screen.

Swift version

let visibleRect = CGRect(origin: collectionView.contentOffset, size: collectionView.bounds.size)
let visiblePoint = CGPoint(x: visibleRect.midX, y: visibleRect.midY)
let visibleIndexPath = collectionView.indexPathForItem(at: visiblePoint)

The method [collectionView visibleCells] give you all visibleCells array you want. Use it when you want to get

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
    for (UICollectionViewCell *cell in [self.mainImageCollection visibleCells]) {
        NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.mainImageCollection indexPathForCell:cell];
        NSLog(@"%@",indexPath);
    }
}

Update to Swift 5:

func scrollViewDidEndDecelerating(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    for cell in yourCollectionView.visibleCells {
        let indexPath = yourCollectionView.indexPath(for: cell)
        print(indexPath)
    }
}

Swift 5:

func scrollViewDidEndDecelerating(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    var visibleRect = CGRect()

    visibleRect.origin = collectionView.contentOffset
    visibleRect.size = collectionView.bounds.size

    let visiblePoint = CGPoint(x: visibleRect.midX, y: visibleRect.midY)

    guard let indexPath = collectionView.indexPathForItem(at: visiblePoint) else { return } 

    print(indexPath)
}

Working Answers Combined In Swift 2.2 :

 func scrollViewDidEndDecelerating(scrollView: UIScrollView) {

        var visibleRect = CGRect()

        visibleRect.origin = self.collectionView.contentOffset
        visibleRect.size = self.collectionView.bounds.size

        let visiblePoint = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(visibleRect), CGRectGetMidY(visibleRect))

        let visibleIndexPath: NSIndexPath = self.collectionView.indexPathForItemAtPoint(visiblePoint)

        guard let indexPath = visibleIndexPath else { return } 
        print(indexPath)

    }

For completeness sake, this is the method that ended up working for me. It was a combination of @Anthony & @iAn's methods.

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
      CGRect visibleRect = (CGRect){.origin = self.collectionView.contentOffset, .size = self.collectionView.bounds.size};
      CGPoint visiblePoint = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(visibleRect), CGRectGetMidY(visibleRect));
      NSIndexPath *visibleIndexPath = [self.collectionView indexPathForItemAtPoint:visiblePoint];
      NSLog(@"%@",visibleIndexPath);
}

UICollectionView current visible cell index: Swift 3, 4 and 5+

var visibleCurrentCellIndexPath: IndexPath? {
    for cell in self.collectionView.visibleCells {
        let indexPath = self.collectionView.indexPath(for: cell)
        return indexPath
     }
        
     return nil
}

As an Extension:

extension UICollectionView {
  var visibleCurrentCellIndexPath: IndexPath? {
    for cell in self.visibleCells {
      let indexPath = self.indexPath(for: cell)
      return indexPath
    }
    
    return nil
  }
}

Usage:

if let indexPath = collectionView.visibleCurrentCellIndexPath { 
   /// do something
}
