Cell spacing in UICollectionView

2018-12-31 21:33发布

问题:

How do I set cell spacing in a section of UICollectionView? I know there is a property minimumInteritemSpacing I have set it to 5.0 still the spacing is not appearing 5.0. I have implemented the flowout delegate method.

- (CGFloat)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section
{

    return 5.0;
}

still I am not getting the desired result. I think its the minimum spacing . Isn\'t there any way by which I can set the maximum spacing?

回答1:

I know that the topic is old, but in case anyone still needs correct answer here what you need:

  1. Override standard flow layout.
  2. Add implementation like that:

    - (NSArray *) layoutAttributesForElementsInRect:(CGRect)rect {
        NSArray *answer = [super layoutAttributesForElementsInRect:rect];
    
        for(int i = 1; i < [answer count]; ++i) {
            UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *currentLayoutAttributes = answer[i];
            UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *prevLayoutAttributes = answer[i - 1];
            NSInteger maximumSpacing = 4;
            NSInteger origin = CGRectGetMaxX(prevLayoutAttributes.frame);
    
            if(origin + maximumSpacing + currentLayoutAttributes.frame.size.width < self.collectionViewContentSize.width) {
                CGRect frame = currentLayoutAttributes.frame;
                frame.origin.x = origin + maximumSpacing;
                currentLayoutAttributes.frame = frame;
            }
        }
        return answer;
    }
    

where maximumSpacing could be set to any value you prefer. This trick guarantees that the space between cells would be EXACTLY equal to maximumSpacing!!



回答2:

Supporting the initial question. I tried to get the spacing to 5px on the UICollectionView but this does not work, as well with a UIEdgeInsetsMake(0,0,0,0)...

On a UITableView I can do this by directly specifying the x,y coordinates in a row...

\"enter

Heres my UICollectionView code:

#pragma mark collection view cell layout / size
- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView*)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout *)collectionViewLayout sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    return [self getCellSize:indexPath];  // will be w120xh100 or w190x100
    // if the width is higher, only one image will be shown in a line
}

#pragma mark collection view cell paddings
- (UIEdgeInsets)collectionView:(UICollectionView*)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout *)collectionViewLayout insetForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section {
    return UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0); // top, left, bottom, right
}

- (CGFloat)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section {

    return 5.0;
}

Update: Solved my problem, with the following code.

ViewController.m

#import \"ViewController.h\"
#import \"MagazineCell.h\" // created just the default class. 

static NSString * const cellID = @\"cellID\";

回答3:

Using a horizontal flow layout, I was also getting a 10 points spacing between cells. To remove the spacing I needed to set minimumLineSpacing as well as minimumInterItemSpacing to zero.

UICollectionViewFlowLayout *flow = [[UICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc] init];
flow.itemSize = CGSizeMake(cellWidth, cellHeight);
flow.scrollDirection = UICollectionViewScrollDirectionHorizontal;
flow.minimumInteritemSpacing = 0;
flow.minimumLineSpacing = 0;

Also, if all your cells are the same size, it\'s simpler and more efficient to set the property on the flow layout directly instead of using delegate methods.



回答4:

Remember, it is minimum line space, not minimum inter item spacing or cell space. Because your collectionView\'s scroll direction is HORIZONTAL.

If it was vertical then you need to set cell space or inter item space for horizontal space between cells and line spacing for vertical space between cells.

Objective-C version

- (CGFloat)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView
                       layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout
    minimumLineSpacingForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section
    {
        return 20;
    }

Swift version:

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, minimumLineSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {
    return 20
}


回答5:

Try this code to ensure you have a spacing of 5px between each item:

- (UIEdgeInsets)collectionView:(UICollectionView *) collectionView 
                        layout:(UICollectionViewLayout *) collectionViewLayout 
        insetForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger) section {

    return UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 5); // top, left, bottom, right
}

- (CGFloat)collectionView:(UICollectionView *) collectionView
                   layout:(UICollectionViewLayout *) collectionViewLayout
  minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger) section {    
    return 5.0;
}


回答6:

Swift version of the most popular answer. Space between the cells will be equal to cellSpacing.

class CustomViewFlowLayout : UICollectionViewFlowLayout {

    let cellSpacing:CGFloat = 4

    override func layoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]? {
        if let attributes = super.layoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect) {
        for (index, attribute) in attributes.enumerate() {
                if index == 0 { continue }
                let prevLayoutAttributes = attributes[index - 1]
                let origin = CGRectGetMaxX(prevLayoutAttributes.frame)
                if(origin + cellSpacing + attribute.frame.size.width < self.collectionViewContentSize().width) {
                    attribute.frame.origin.x = origin + cellSpacing
                }
            }
            return attributes
        }
        return nil
    }
}


回答7:

I have found very easy way to configure spacing between cells or rows by using IB.

Just select UICollectionView from storyboard/Xib file and click in Size Inspector as specified in below image.

\"enter

For configuring space programatically use following properties.

1) For setting space between rows.

[self.collectionView setMinimumLineSpacing:5];

2) For setting space between items/cells.

[self.collectionView setMinimumInteritemSpacing:5];


回答8:

Please note the property name minimumInterItemSpacing . This will be the minimum spacing between the items not the exact spacing. If you set minimumInterItemSpacing to some value you can assure that spacing wont be a value less than that. But there is a chance get a higher value.

Actually the spacing between items depends on several factors itemSize and sectionInset. Collection view dynamically place the contents based on these values. So you cannot assure the exact spacing. You should do some trial and error with sectionInset and minimumInterItemSpacing.

Answer for Swift 3.0, Xcode 8

1.Make sure you set collection view delegate

class DashboardViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet weak var dashboardCollectionView: UICollectionView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        dashboardCollectionView.delegate = self
    }
}

2.Implement UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout protocol, not UICollectionViewDelegate.

extension DashboardViewController: UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
    fileprivate var sectionInsets: UIEdgeInsets {
        return .zero
    }

    fileprivate var itemsPerRow: CGFloat {
        return 2
    }

    fileprivate var interitemSpace: CGFloat {
        return 5.0
    }

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,
                        layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
                        sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
        let sectionPadding = sectionInsets.left * (itemsPerRow + 1)
        let interitemPadding = max(0.0, itemsPerRow - 1) * interitemSpace
        let availableWidth = collectionView.bounds.width - sectionPadding - interitemPadding
        let widthPerItem = availableWidth / itemsPerRow

        return CGSize(width: widthPerItem, height: widthPerItem)
    }

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,
                        layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
                        insetForSectionAt section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {
        return sectionInsets
    }

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,
                        layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
                        minimumLineSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {
        return 0.0
    }

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {
        return interitemSpace
    }
}


回答10:

Define UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout protocol in your header file.

Implement following method of UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout protocol like this:

- (UIEdgeInsets)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout insetForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section
{
    return UIEdgeInsetsMake(5, 5, 5, 5);
}

Click Here to see Apple Documentation of UIEdgeInsetMake method.



回答11:

The voted answer (and also the swift version) has a small issue: there will be a big spacing on the right.

This is because the flow layout is customised to make the cell spacing exact, with a float left behaviour.

My solution is to manipulate the section inset, so that the section is align center, yet the spacing is exactly as specified.

In screenshot below, the item/line spacing is exactly 8pt, while the section left & right inset will be bigger than 8pt (to make it center aligned):

\"evenly

Swift code as such:

private let minItemSpacing: CGFloat = 8
private let itemWidth: CGFloat      = 100
private let headerHeight: CGFloat   = 32

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()

    // Create our custom flow layout that evenly space out the items, and have them in the center
    let layout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
    layout.itemSize = CGSize(width: itemWidth, height: itemWidth)
    layout.minimumInteritemSpacing = minItemSpacing
    layout.minimumLineSpacing = minItemSpacing
    layout.headerReferenceSize = CGSize(width: 0, height: headerHeight)

    // Find n, where n is the number of item that can fit into the collection view
    var n: CGFloat = 1
    let containerWidth = collectionView.bounds.width
    while true {
        let nextN = n + 1
        let totalWidth = (nextN*itemWidth) + (nextN-1)*minItemSpacing
        if totalWidth > containerWidth {
            break
        } else {
            n = nextN
        }
    }

    // Calculate the section inset for left and right. 
    // Setting this section inset will manipulate the items such that they will all be aligned horizontally center.
    let inset = max(minItemSpacing, floor( (containerWidth - (n*itemWidth) - (n-1)*minItemSpacing) / 2 ) )
    layout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: minItemSpacing, left: inset, bottom: minItemSpacing, right: inset)

    collectionView.collectionViewLayout = layout
}


回答12:

Simple code for spacing

let layout = collectionView.collectionViewLayout as! UICollectionViewFlowLayout
layout.minimumInteritemSpacing = 10 // Some float value


回答13:

I\'m using monotouch, so the names and code will be a bit different, but you can do this by making sure that the width of the collectionview equals (x * cell width) + (x-1) * MinimumSpacing with x = amount of cells per row.

Just do following steps based on your MinimumInteritemSpacing and the Width of the Cell

1) We calculate amount of items per row based on cell size + current insets + minimum spacing

float currentTotalWidth = CollectionView.Frame.Width - Layout.SectionInset.Left - Layout.SectionInset.Right (Layout = flowlayout)
int amountOfCellsPerRow = (currentTotalWidth + MinimumSpacing) / (cell width + MinimumSpacing)

2) Now you have all info to calculate the expected width for the collection view

float totalWidth =(amountOfCellsPerRow * cell width) + (amountOfCellsPerRow-1) * MinimumSpacing

3) So the difference between the current width and the expected width is

float difference = currentTotalWidth - totalWidth;

4) Now adjust the insets (in this example we add it to the right, so the left position of the collectionview stays the same

Layout.SectionInset.Right = Layout.SectionInset.Right + difference;


回答14:

I stumbled upon a similar problem as OP. Unfortunately the accepted answer did not work for me since the content of the collectionView would not be centered properly. Therefore I came up with a different solution which only requires that all items in the collectionView are of the same width, which seems to be the case in the question:

#define cellSize 90

- (UIEdgeInsets)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout *)collectionViewLayout insetForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section {
    float width = collectionView.frame.size.width;
    float spacing = [self collectionView:collectionView layout:collectionViewLayout minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAtIndex:section];
    int numberOfCells = (width + spacing) / (cellSize + spacing);
    int inset = (width + spacing - numberOfCells * (cellSize + spacing) ) / 2;

    return UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, inset, 0, inset);
}

That code will ensure that the value returned by ...minimumInteritemSpacing... will be the exact spacing between every collectionViewCell and furthermore guarantee that the cells all together will be centered in the collectionView



回答15:

The above solution by vojtech-vrbka is correct but it triggers a warning:

warning:UICollectionViewFlowLayout has cached frame mismatch for index path - cached value: This is likely occurring because the flow layout subclass Layout is modify attributes returned by UICollectionViewFlowLayout without copying them

The following code should fix it:

class CustomViewFlowLayout : UICollectionViewFlowLayout {

   let cellSpacing:CGFloat = 4

   override func layoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]? {
       let original = super.layoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect)

       if let original = original {
           let attributes = NSArray.init(array: original, copyItems: true) as! [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]

           for (index, attribute) in attributes.enumerate() {
                if index == 0 { continue }
                let prevLayoutAttributes = attributes[index - 1]
                let origin = CGRectGetMaxX(prevLayoutAttributes.frame)
                if(origin + cellSpacing + attribute.frame.size.width < self.collectionViewContentSize().width) {
                    attribute.frame.origin.x = origin + cellSpacing
                }
            }
            return attributes
       }
       return nil
   }
}

            let previousAttributes = answer[i - 1]

            let maximumSpacing: CGFloat = 8
            let origin = previousAttributes.frame.maxX

            if (origin + maximumSpacing + currentAttributes.frame.size.width < self.collectionViewContentSize.width && currentAttributes.frame.origin.x > previousAttributes.frame.origin.x) {
                var frame = currentAttributes.frame
                frame.origin.x = origin + maximumSpacing
                currentAttributes.frame = frame

If u want to tweak the spacing without touching the actual cell size, this is the solution that worked best for me. #xcode 9 #tvOS11 #iOS11 #swift

So in UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout, change implement the next methods, the trick is u have to use both of them, and the documentation was not really pointing me to think in that direction. :D

open func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, minimumLineSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {

}


回答18:

I have a horizontal UICollectionView and subclassed UICollectionViewFlowLayout. The collection view has large cells, and only shows one row of them at a time, and the collection view fits the width of the screen.

I tried iago849\'s answer and it worked, but then I found out I didn\'t even need his answer. For some reason, setting the minimumInterItemSpacing does nothing. The spacing between my items/cells can be entirely controlled by minimumLineSpacing.

Not sure why it works this way, but it works.

Previous versions did not really work with sections > 1. So my solution was found here https://codentrick.com/create-a-tag-flow-layout-with-uicollectionview/. For the lazy ones:

    let attributesForElementsInRect = super.layoutAttributesForElements(in: rect)
    var newAttributesForElementsInRect = [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]()
    // use a value to keep track of left margin
    var leftMargin: CGFloat = 0.0;
    for attributes in attributesForElementsInRect! {
        let refAttributes = attributes 
        // assign value if next row
        if (refAttributes.frame.origin.x == self.sectionInset.left) {
            leftMargin = self.sectionInset.left
        } else {
            // set x position of attributes to current margin
            var newLeftAlignedFrame = refAttributes.frame
            newLeftAlignedFrame.origin.x = leftMargin
            refAttributes.frame = newLeftAlignedFrame
        }
        // calculate new value for current margin
        leftMargin += refAttributes.frame.size.width + 10
