UICollectionViewController Black Screen

Question

I am trying to show my viewing of a collection, but all I get is a black screen. I know that something is missing, but I can not find what it is.

#import "StoreCollectionViewController.h"
#import "StoreItemCell.h"

@interface StoreCollectionViewController ()

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *productsArray;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIActivityIndicatorView *loadingIndicator;

@end

@implementation StoreCollectionViewController

static NSString * const reuseIdentifier = @"Cell";

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self)
    {
        self.productsArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.collectionView.delegate = self;
    self.collectionView.dataSource = self;

    // Register cell classes
    [self.collectionView registerClass:[StoreItemCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];

    CGFloat width = CGRectGetWidth(self.view.bounds);
    CGFloat height = CGRectGetHeight(self.view.bounds);

    self.loadingIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(width / 2, height / 2, 37, 37)];
    self.loadingIndicator.center = CGPointMake(width / 2, height / 2 - 37);
    self.loadingIndicator.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin);
    self.loadingIndicator.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge;
    self.loadingIndicator.hidesWhenStopped = YES;
    [self.view addSubview:self.loadingIndicator];
    [self.loadingIndicator startAnimating];

    [self dispatch];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

- (void)dispatch {
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://api.bigcartel.com/littleheart/products.json"];
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
        NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];

        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            if (data == nil) {
                NSLog(@"data is nil");
                UIAlertView *nilDataAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"" message:@"There is nothing here!" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
                [nilDataAlert show];

                [self.loadingIndicator stopAnimating];
            }
            else {
                [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(getProducts:) withObject:data waitUntilDone:YES];
            }
        });
    });
}

- (void)getProducts:(NSData *)responseData {
    NSError *error;
    NSMutableArray *responseArray = [NSJSONSerialization
                                     JSONObjectWithData:responseData
                                     options:kNilOptions
                                     error:&error];

    for (NSDictionary *productDictionary in responseArray) {
        [self.productsArray addObject:productDictionary];
    }

    [self.collectionView reloadData];
    [self.loadingIndicator stopAnimating];
}

#pragma mark <UICollectionViewDataSource>

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInCollectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView {
    return 1;
}

- (NSInteger)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    return self.productsArray.count;
}

- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    StoreItemCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];

    // Configure the cell
    NSString *productName = [[self.productsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:@"name"];
    cell.itemNameLabel.text = productName;

    return cell;
}

#pragma mark <UICollectionViewDelegate>

- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

}

@end

Answer 1

Did the UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout methods use cell size.?

Like this ( This is in Swift, use Objective-C syntex )

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGSize
{
    return CGSizeMake(50,120); //use whatever you wants.
}
