I have UICollectionView with horizontal scrolling and there are always 2 cells side-by-side per the entire screen. I need the scrolling to stop at the begining of a cell. With paging enabled, the collection view scrolls the whole page, which is 2 cells at once, and then it stops.

I need to enable scrolling by a single cell, or scrolling by multiple cells with stopping at the edge of the cell.

I tried to subclass UICollectionViewFlowLayout and to implement the method targetContentOffsetForProposedContentOffset, but so far I was only able to break my collection view and it stopped scrolling. Is there any easier way to achieve this and how, or do I really need to implement all methods of UICollectionViewFlowLayout subclass? Thanks.

OK, so I found the solution here: targetContentOffsetForProposedContentOffset:withScrollingVelocity without subclassing UICollectionViewFlowLayout

I should have searched for targetContentOffsetForProposedContentOffset in the begining.
