Paging UICollectionView by cells, not screen
I have UICollectionView
with horizontal scrolling and there are always 2 cells side-by-side per the entire screen. I need the scrolling to stop at the begining of a cell. With paging enabled, the collection view scrolls the whole page, which is 2 cells at once, and then it stops.
I need to enable scrolling by a single cell, or scrolling by multiple cells with stopping at the edge of the cell.
I tried to subclass UICollectionViewFlowLayout
and to implement the method targetContentOffsetForProposedContentOffset
, but so far I was only able to break my collection view and it stopped scrolling. Is there any easier way to achieve this and how, or do I really need to implement all methods of UICollectionViewFlowLayout
subclass? Thanks.
OK, so I found the solution here: targetContentOffsetForProposedContentOffset:withScrollingVelocity without subclassing UICollectionViewFlowLayout
I should have searched for targetContentOffsetForProposedContentOffset
in the begining.
just override the method:
- (void)scrollViewWillEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView withVelocity:(CGPoint)velocity targetContentOffset:(inout CGPoint *)targetContentOffset {
*targetContentOffset = scrollView.contentOffset; // set acceleration to 0.0
float pageWidth = (float)self.articlesCollectionView.bounds.size.width;
int minSpace = 10;
int cellToSwipe = (scrollView.contentOffset.x)/(pageWidth + minSpace) + 0.5; // cell width + min spacing for lines
if (cellToSwipe < 0) {
cellToSwipe = 0;
} else if (cellToSwipe >= self.articles.count) {
cellToSwipe = self.articles.count - 1;
}
[self.articlesCollectionView scrollToItemAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:cellToSwipe inSection:0] atScrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionLeft animated:YES];
}
