Trying to add a a Supplementary view into my UICollectionView as a header. I'm having issues getting it to work.
I use a custom UICollectionViewFlowLayout to return a contentSize that is always at least 1 pixel larger then the frame (I am using a UIFreshControl which will only work if the UICollectionView scrolls, and setting collectionView.contentSize directly does nothing) and to invalidateLayout on sectionInsert and itemSize changes:
-(void)setSectionInset:(UIEdgeInsets)sectionInset {
if (UIEdgeInsetsEqualToEdgeInsets(super.sectionInset, sectionInset)) {
return;
}
super.sectionInset = sectionInset;
[self invalidateLayout];
}
-(void) setItemSize:(CGSize)itemSize {
if (CGSizeEqualToSize(super.itemSize, itemSize)) {
return;
}
super.itemSize = itemSize;
[self invalidateLayout];
}
- (CGSize)collectionViewContentSize
{
CGFloat height = [super collectionViewContentSize].height;
// Always returns a contentSize larger then frame so it can scroll and UIRefreshControl will work
if (height < self.collectionView.bounds.size.height) {
height = self.collectionView.bounds.size.height + 1;
}
return CGSizeMake([super collectionViewContentSize].width, height);
}
I created a UICollectionReusableView class which is just a UIView with a UILabel:
@implementation CollectionHeaderView
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
NSArray *arrayOfViews = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CollectionHeaderView" owner:self options:nil];
if ([arrayOfViews count] < 1) {
return nil;
}
if (![[arrayOfViews objectAtIndex:0] isKindOfClass:[UICollectionViewCell class]]) {
return nil;
}
self = [arrayOfViews objectAtIndex:0];
self.headerLabel.text = @"This is a header. There are many like it.";
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
}
return self;
}
Trying to implement it:
DatasetLayout *collectionViewFlowLayout = [[DatasetLayout alloc] init];
collectionViewFlowLayout.itemSize = CGSizeMake(360, 160);
collectionViewFlowLayout.scrollDirection = UICollectionViewScrollDirectionVertical;
collectionViewFlowLayout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(16, 16, 16, 16);
collectionViewFlowLayout.minimumInteritemSpacing = 16;
collectionViewFlowLayout.minimumLineSpacing = 16;
collectionViewFlowLayout.headerReferenceSize = CGSizeMake(0, 100);
UICollectionView *collectionView = [[UICollectionView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero collectionViewLayout:collectionViewFlowLayout];
collectionView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = FALSE;
collectionView.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
collectionView.delegate = self;
collectionView.dataSource = self;
I register the class:
[self.collectionView registerClass:[CollectionHeaderView class] forSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader withReuseIdentifier:@"CollectionHeaderView"];
and implement the delegate:
-(UICollectionReusableView *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind:(NSString *)kind atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
CollectionHeaderView *headerView = [collectionView dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader withReuseIdentifier:@"CollectionHeaderView" forIndexPath:indexPath];
headerView.headerLabel.text = @"Blarg!";
return headerView;
}
The line
collectionViewFlowLayout.headerReferenceSize = CGSizeMake(0, 100);
causes the error:
*** Assertion failure in -[UICollectionView _createPreparedSupplementaryViewForElementOfKind:atIndexPath:withLayoutAttributes:], /SourceCache/UIKit_Sim/UIKit-2380.17/UICollectionView.m:1150
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'UICollectionView dataSource is not set'
If I comment it out, it runs but no header.
What am I doing wrong or not implementing?
