Reloading a UICollectionView using reloadData meth

问题:

I need to know when reloading a UICollectionView has completed in order to configure cells afterwards (because I am not the data source for the cells - other wise would have done it already...)

I've tried code such as

[self.collectionView reloadData];
[self configure cells]; // BOOM! cells are nil

I've also tried using

[self.collectionView performBatchUpdates:^{
  [self.collectionView reloadData];
    } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
        // notify that completed and do the configuration now
  }];

but when I reload the data I am getting crashes.

How can I reload the data into the collection, and only when it has finished reloading - do a particular completion handler

回答1:

This is caused by cells being added during layoutSubviews not at reloadData. Since layoutSubviews is performed during next run loop pass after reloadData your cells are empty. Try doing this:

[self.collectionView reloadData];
[self.collectionView layoutIfNeeded];
[self configure cells]; 

I had similar issue and resolved it this way.

回答2:

Collection view is not supported to be reloaded animatedly with help of reloadData. All animations must be performed with methods, such as

[collectionView deleteItemsAtIndexPaths:indexesToDelete];
[collectionView insertSections:sectionsToInsert];
[collectionView reloadItemsAtIndexPaths:fooPaths];

inside of performBatchUpdates: block. That reloadData method can only be used for rough refresh, when all items are removed and laid out again without animation.

If you'd like to perform some code after your collectionView has completed it's reloadData() method, then try this (Swift):

    self.collectionView.reloadData()
    self.collectionView.layoutIfNeeded()
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) { () -> Void in
        // Put the code you want to execute when reloadData is complete in here
    }

The reason this works is because the code within the dispatch block gets put to the back of line (also known as a queue). This means that it is waiting in line for all the main thread operations to finish, including reloadData()'s methods, before it becomes it's turn on the main thread.
