UICollectionView sticky header in swift

问题:

I'm trying to create a sticky supplementary header, which stays on top all the time and won't response to scrolling events. The solutions I found so far still react on bounch scrolling and are fixed using a custom flowLayout, which will probably be the fix for mine issue as well.

The reason I want it this way is that the header is used on other places and should be reusable. I'm hoping this could be solved this way and I don't have to create a separated view.

As I'm doing this in Swift, it would be great to have an example in Swift.

回答1:

Simplest solution for iOS 9 + as it doesn't need of writing subclass of UICollectionViewFlowLayout.

In viewDidLoad of viewController with collectionView use following code:

let layout = collectionView.collectionViewLayout as? UICollectionViewFlowLayout // casting is required because UICollectionViewLayout doesn't offer header pin. Its feature of UICollectionViewFlowLayout
layout?.sectionHeadersPinToVisibleBounds = true

It is hinted by @Antoine also.

The final solution I found:

Using this custom flow layout it was possible to fix this sticky header:

class StickyHeaderCollectionViewFlowLayout: UICollectionViewFlowLayout {

    override func layoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect: CGRect) -> [AnyObject]? {

        var superAttributes: [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]? = super.layoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect) as? [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]

        if superAttributes == nil {
            // If superAttributes couldn't cast, return
            return super.layoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect)
        }

        let contentOffset = collectionView!.contentOffset
        var missingSections = NSMutableIndexSet()

        for layoutAttributes in superAttributes! {
            if (layoutAttributes.representedElementCategory == .Cell) {
                if let indexPath = layoutAttributes.indexPath {
                    missingSections.addIndex(layoutAttributes.indexPath.section)
                }
            }
        }

        for layoutAttributes in superAttributes! {
            if let representedElementKind = layoutAttributes.representedElementKind {
                if representedElementKind == UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader {
                    if let indexPath = layoutAttributes.indexPath {
                        missingSections.removeIndex(indexPath.section)
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        missingSections.enumerateIndexesUsingBlock { idx, stop in
            let indexPath = NSIndexPath(forItem: 0, inSection: idx)
            if let layoutAttributes = self.layoutAttributesForSupplementaryViewOfKind(UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader, atIndexPath: indexPath) {
                superAttributes!.append(layoutAttributes)
            }
        }

        for layoutAttributes in superAttributes! {
            if let representedElementKind = layoutAttributes.representedElementKind {
                if representedElementKind == UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader {
                    let section = layoutAttributes.indexPath!.section
                    let numberOfItemsInSection = collectionView!.numberOfItemsInSection(section)

                    let firstCellIndexPath = NSIndexPath(forItem: 0, inSection: section)!
                    let lastCellIndexPath = NSIndexPath(forItem: max(0, (numberOfItemsInSection - 1)), inSection: section)!


                    let (firstCellAttributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes, lastCellAttributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes) = {
                        if (self.collectionView!.numberOfItemsInSection(section) > 0) {
                            return (
                                self.layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath(firstCellIndexPath),
                                self.layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath(lastCellIndexPath))
                        } else {
                            return (
                                self.layoutAttributesForSupplementaryViewOfKind(UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader, atIndexPath: firstCellIndexPath),
                                self.layoutAttributesForSupplementaryViewOfKind(UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter, atIndexPath: lastCellIndexPath))
                        }
                        }()

                    let headerHeight = CGRectGetHeight(layoutAttributes.frame)
                    var origin = layoutAttributes.frame.origin

                    origin.y = min(contentOffset.y, (CGRectGetMaxY(lastCellAttributes.frame) - headerHeight))
                    // Uncomment this line for normal behaviour:
                    // origin.y = min(max(contentOffset.y, (CGRectGetMinY(firstCellAttributes.frame) - headerHeight)), (CGRectGetMaxY(lastCellAttributes.frame) - headerHeight))

                    layoutAttributes.zIndex = 1024
                    layoutAttributes.frame = CGRect(origin: origin, size: layoutAttributes.frame.size)
                }
            }
        }

        return superAttributes
    }

    override func shouldInvalidateLayoutForBoundsChange(newBounds: CGRect) -> Bool {
        return true
    }

}

To create a layout where the headers are sticky like traditional, change this line:

origin.y = min(contentOffset.y, (CGRectGetMaxY(lastCellAttrs.frame) - headerHeight))

to this line:

origin.y = min(max(contentOffset.y, (CGRectGetMinY(firstCellAttrs.frame) - headerHeight)), (CGRectGetMaxY(lastCellAttrs.frame) - headerHeight))

Hoping this is useful for others!

Update

Updated to fix a crash (thanks to Robert Atkins!) and some updates to Swift 1.2

tvOS & iOS 9

tvOS and iOS 9 introduced the property sectionHeadersPinToVisibleBounds which can be used

Swift 2.2 version tested based on GregP's answer. Greg's code was throwing an unwrap optional error at lastCellIndexPath because the number of section is initially zero. So I moved the numberOfItemsInSection > 0 check up.

i use this in my project. Hope it helps.

    func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView,
    layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
    referenceSizeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGSize
{
    return CGSizeMake(UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.width, 40)
}

of course. you can return whatever size you want.
