Right now I have a list of scrolling usernames using a Collection View of buttons. But I’d like to add overlapping delete buttons to each row. They'd need to be attached to the name buttons and scroll with them.
How can I add these buttons to my CollectionView?
(Also I'd like to skip the delete button on the first row for obvious reasons)
Current Code:
//Add the cells to collection
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell: UsernameCollectionViewCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UsernameCollectionViewCell
cell.usernameLabel.text = userNames [indexPath.row]
return cell
}
//Upon Selecting an item
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
if (indexPath.row == 0){
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("newUserSegue", sender: self)
}
else {
sendData(userNames[indexPath.row])
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
}
Got it working! Here's how:
- I added a button to the cell in the Storyboard.
- Connected an outlet to the UICollectionViewCell class.
Edited view controller code to:
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell: UsernameCollectionViewCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UsernameCollectionViewCell
cell.usernameLabel.text = userNames [indexPath.row]
cell.deleteButton?.layer.setValue(indexPath.row, forKey: "index")
cell.deleteButton?.addTarget(self, action: "deleteUser:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
// Remove the button from the first cell
if (indexPath.row == 0){
var close : UIButton = cell.viewWithTag(11) as! UIButton
close.hidden = true
}
return cell
}
func deleteUser(sender:UIButton) {
let i : Int = (sender.layer.valueForKey("index")) as! Int
userNames.removeAtIndex(i)
UserSelectCollection.reloadData()
}
Many thanks to JigarM for his examples on GitHub:

Why not create custom UICollectionViewCell in IB and just add button to it ?
Register it to your collectionView with :
- registerNib:forCellReuseIdentifier:
You can use delegate or notification to process button tap.
