I'm new to iOS development.
I've been learning Swift, and today, I tried using UICollectionViewController.
My code is as follows:
class ViewController: UICollectionViewController, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
var colView: UICollectionView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
let layout: UICollectionViewFlowLayout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
layout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 20, left: 10, bottom: 10, right: 10)
layout.itemSize = CGSize(width: 90, height: 120)
colView = UICollectionView(frame: self.view.frame, collectionViewLayout: layout)
colView.dataSource = self
colView.delegate = self
colView.register(UICollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "Cell")
colView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
self.view.addSubview(colView)
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 14
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath as IndexPath)
cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.orange
return cell
}
}
However, when I try to run it, I get the following error:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'UICollectionView must be initialized with a non-nil layout parameter'
I have looked up previous posts discussing this issue, but I couldn't find anything that fixed my code.
How should I fix this?
Thank you! I incorporated your suggestions. Below is the code that works:
class ViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
let cellId = "CellId"
var colView: UICollectionView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let layout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
layout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 20, left: 10, bottom: 10, right: 10)
layout.itemSize = CGSize(width: 111, height: 111)
colView = UICollectionView(frame: self.view.frame, collectionViewLayout: layout)
colView.delegate = self
colView.dataSource = self
colView.register(UICollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "Cell")
colView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
self.view.addSubview(colView)
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 21
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath as IndexPath)
cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.orange
return cell
}
}
Again, thank you guys very much. Have an awesome day :D
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGSize {
let cellSize = CGSize(width: 90, height: 120)
//
return CGSizeMake(cellSize)
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, insetForSectionAtIndex section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {
return UIEdgeInsetsMake(top: 20, left: 10, bottom: 10, right: 10)
}
Just change the order like below one :
let layout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
layout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 20, left: 10, bottom: 10, right: 10)
layout.itemSize = CGSize(width: 90, height: 120)
colView = UICollectionView(frame: self.view.frame, collectionViewLayout: layout)
self.view.addSubview(colView)
colView.delegate = self
colView.dataSource = self
colView.registerClass(UICollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "Cell")
colView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
You can set your code like this:
class ViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
let cellId = "Cell"
lazy var collectionView: UICollectionView = {
let layout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
// ... layout parameters
let cv = UICollectionView(frame: .zero, collectionViewLayout: layout)
cv.backgroundColor = .white
cv.delegate = self
cv.dataSource = self
return cv
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.addSubview(collectionView)
// ... add your auto layout constraints to the collection view
collectionView.register(UICollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: cellId)
}
// Delegate and Data Source Methods...
}
