How to create a collection view of strings that scrolls horizontally but is fixed vertically?

Question

I am trying to make a UICollectionView, which is 1 x N, that scrolls horizontally but is locked vertically, so it doesn't move vertically at all.

Any ideas or pointers on how to achieve this?

Answer 1

Use the flow layout and set the scroll direction property to horizontal.

The documentation is here .

Answer 2

Use the flow layout and set the scroll direction to “Horizontal” to fix the problem.

let flowLayout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout() flowLayout.itemSize = CGSizeMake(UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.width/2 - 10, 190) flowLayout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 5, 0, 5) flowLayout.scrollDirection = UICollectionViewScrollDirection.Horizontal flowLayout.minimumInteritemSpacing = 0.0 mainHomeCollectionView.collectionViewLayout = flowLayout 

Answer 3

I just did a similar thing and posted the code on github.

I wrote a small algorithm that tracks selectedIndexPath as well as the previous cell position.
