I have a simple 4 x 2 collection view grid like this:
class ExampleViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout
{
var collectionView: UICollectionView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let layout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
layout.minimumLineSpacing = 0
layout.minimumInteritemSpacing = 0
self.collectionView = UICollectionView(frame: CGRect.init(x: 0.0, y: 100.0, width: 414.0, height: 226.0), collectionViewLayout: layout)
self.collectionView.delegate = self
self.collectionView.dataSource = self
self.collectionView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false
self.collectionView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false
self.collectionView.register(UICollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: NSStringFromClass(ExampleViewController.self))
self.view.addSubview(self.collectionView)
}
public func numberOfSections(in collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int
{
return 1
}
public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int
{
return 8
}
public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell
{
let cell = self.collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: NSStringFromClass(ExampleViewController.self), for: indexPath)
cell.backgroundColor = .cyan
return cell
}
public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
let size = CGSize(width: self.collectionView.frame.width / 4.0,
height: self.collectionView.frame.height / 2.0)
return size
}
}
Let's ignore all the hard-coded numbers here. Everything is straightforward, and I should get a 4 x 2 grid without any spacing between cells. What I got, however, is very close, but not exactly like that: there are some space between some cells.
Here's what I got from recursiveDescription:

Notice that there are cells with frame.origin.x being 103.667 and 310.667, but in fact that should be 103.5 and 310.5. That's very close, but not quite.
Am I missing some configurations, or is it some sort of floating point calculation error in UICollectionView's implementation?
