How to create UICollectionViewCell programmatically
I'm trying to create UICollectionView programatically.
I need to add labels inside the cells, so I Created CollectionViewCell class.
This is the class:
import UIKit
class MyCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell {
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
}
And this is the collectionView implementation class:
import UIKit
class TwoViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout, UICollectionViewDelegate {
let leftAndRightPaddings: CGFloat = 80.0
let numberOfItemsPerRow: CGFloat = 7.0
let screenSize: CGRect = UIScreen.main.bounds
private let cellReuseIdentifier = "collectionCell"
var items = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20", "21", "22", "23", "24", "25", "26", "27", "28", "29", "30", "31"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let flowLayout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
let collectionView = UICollectionView(frame: self.view.bounds, collectionViewLayout: flowLayout)
collectionView.register(MyCollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: cellReuseIdentifier)
collectionView.register(UICollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "collectionCell")
collectionView.delegate = self
collectionView.dataSource = self
collectionView.backgroundColor = UIColor.cyan
self.view.addSubview(collectionView)
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int
{
return self.items.count
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell
{
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: cellReuseIdentifier, for: indexPath) as! MyCollectionViewCell
cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
return cell
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize
{
let width = (screenSize.width-leftAndRightPaddings)/numberOfItemsPerRow
return CGSize(width: width, height: width)
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, insetForSectionAt section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets
{
return UIEdgeInsets(top: 20, left: 8, bottom: 5, right: 8)
}
}
The error happens when the cell produced:
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell
{
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier(cellReuseIdentifier, forIndexPath: indexPath) as! MyCollectionViewCell
The error is:
Could not cast value of type 'UICollectionViewCell' (0x1033cc820) to 'CollectionViewProgramatically.MyCollectionViewCell' (0x1015a4f88).

Try to copy and paste this code into your xcode, it should work
