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];
}
