You can make an UICollectionViewController
to handle the UICollectionView
and in Interface Builder activate the Footer and Header sections, then you can use the following method for preview in you UICollectionView
the two sections added :
override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, atIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {
switch kind {
case UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader:
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Header", for: indexPath)
headerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
return headerView
case UICollectionView.elementKindSectionFooter:
let footerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Footer", for: indexPath)
footerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
return footerView
default:
assert(false, "Unexpected element kind")
}
}
In the above code I put the identifier
for the footer and header as Header
and Footer
for example, you can do it as you want. If you want to create a custom header or footer then you need to create a subclass of UICollectionReusableView
for each and customize it as you want.
You can register your custom footer and header classes in Interface Builder or in code with:
registerClass(myFooterViewClass, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter, withReuseIdentifier: "myFooterView")
