Display images in a UICollectionView - how to achi

问题:

I am using a UICollectionView to present a grid of images in an iPhone app (iOS6).

I am using vertical scrolling for the UICollectionView, and the images all have fixed width and varying height. The width of the images are set so that on an iPhone, it displays 3 columns of images. This works ok, and I get the images presented in a grid view.

However, since my images have varying height, the vertical spacing between images in a column varies and this doesn't look very good, as you can see in the following image (a mockup made in HTML):

I would instead like to achieve a more fluid flow, where the vertical spacing between images in a column are the same. The following mockup shows how I would like it to work:

Any ideas of how to solve this?

Also, as a bonus question, does anyone know a way to solve the same problem if the app was not built for iOS6 (since UICollectionView is only available in iOS6). Either by using a 3rd party component or by solving it with standard iOS controls.

回答1:

Subclass UICollectionViewFlowLayout and in that class add these methods. (Note this assumes a vertical orientation, and it skips the first line, and it is a constant 10 pixels between them. See: how do you determine spacing between cells in UICollectionView flowLayout if you need the horizontal version

- (NSArray *)layoutAttributesForElementsInRect:(CGRect)rect {
NSArray* arr = [super layoutAttributesForElementsInRect:rect];
for (UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes* atts in arr) {
    if (nil == atts.representedElementKind) {
        NSIndexPath* ip = atts.indexPath;
        atts.frame = [self layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath:ip].frame;
    }
}
return arr;
}

- (UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *)layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes* atts =
[super layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];

if (indexPath.item == 0 || indexPath.item == 1) // degenerate case 1, first item of section
    return atts;

NSIndexPath* ipPrev =
[NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:indexPath.item-2 inSection:indexPath.section];

CGRect fPrev = [self layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath:ipPrev].frame;
CGFloat rightPrev = fPrev.origin.y + fPrev.size.height + 10;
if (atts.frame.origin.y <= rightPrev) // degenerate case 2, first item of line
    return atts;

CGRect f = atts.frame;
f.origin.y = rightPrev;
atts.frame = f;
return atts;
}

For Swift 3 this code work for me, including the space of first line to top...

override func layoutAttributesForElements(in rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]? {
    let arr = super.layoutAttributesForElements(in: rect)

    for atts:UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes in arr! {
        if nil == atts.representedElementKind {
            let ip = atts.indexPath
            atts.frame = (self.layoutAttributesForItem(at: ip)?.frame)!
        }
    }
    return arr
}

override func layoutAttributesForItem(at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes? {
    let atts = super.layoutAttributesForItem(at: indexPath)

    if indexPath.item == 0 || indexPath.item == 1 {
        var frame = atts?.frame;
        frame?.origin.y = sectionInset.top;
        atts?.frame = frame!;
        return atts
    }

    let ipPrev = IndexPath(item: indexPath.item - 2, section: indexPath.section)

    let fPrev = self.layoutAttributesForItem(at: ipPrev)?.frame

    let rightPrev = (fPrev?.origin.y)! + (fPrev?.size.height)! + 10

    if (atts?.frame.origin.y)! <= rightPrev {
        return atts
    }

    var f = atts?.frame
    f?.origin.y = rightPrev
    atts?.frame = f!
    return atts
}
