UICollectionView with horizontal paging and vertical scrolling

Question

Is it possible to have a collection view with horizontal paging, as well as vertical scrolling?

I would like to have the effect of pages of collection views, where the content can be scrolled vertically, say 20 items, with 5 visible at a time. I would also like to support pages horizontally which also hold 20 items, 5 visible at a time.

Is a single collection view able to handle this or should it be a scrollview with paging, containing collectionviews? That seems a bit weird and the gestures would interfere.

Currently I am only able to page in one direction, which stops scrolling in the other direction.

I would consider nesting cells. In your paging UICollectionView Have a cell for each column and then in each cell have another UICollectionView that scrolls vertically only.

I was recently developing a keyboard and wanted to add an emoticon keyboard, which needed the same sort of implementation as you're describing as i wanted the emoticons to be categorised and scrollable both ways. I found that a collection view inside of collection view worked the best for me.
