how to design and create a GridView using UIScroll

Question

I think GridView is a very common view in many situation. As a beginner in iOS, I just wonder why iOS didn't provide a GridView class. So here's my question, how to design and create a GridView using UIScrollView or UITableView? or is there some other solution to create a GridView Thanks for your answers.

GitHub is the best place to search for open source solutions, so try to use it next time. Check DTGridView or PF-GridView

Answer 4

You can use UICollectionView to create a nice gridview. It's simple to use. It is available in iOS 6.0 and later.
