I've been trying to wrap my head around the reloadItemsAtIndexPaths method of UICollectionView.
I have an array of objects called objectsArray. When a user scrolls to the bottom of my collection view, I fetch the next batch of objects from the backend and append it to objectsArray by calling [objectsArray addObjectsFromArray:objects]; After doing so, I call [self.collectionView reloadData] which I know is expensive.
I'd like to optimize with the code below but I get an assertion failure when calling reloadItemsAtIndexPaths.
if (self.searchPage == 0) {
parseObjectsArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:relevantDeals];
[self.collectionView reloadData];
} else {
NSMutableArray *indexPaths = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (int i = 0; i < [relevantDeals count]; i++) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:i inSection:0];
[indexPaths addObject:indexPath];
}
[parseObjectsArray addObjectsFromArray:relevantDeals];
[self.collectionView reloadItemsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths];
//[self.collectionView reloadData];
}
Error: * Assertion failure in -[UICollectionView _endItemAnimations], /SourceCache/UIKit/UIKit-2903.2/UICollectionView.m:3716
Any help/tips is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
It looks like the items being added are new, in other words you are adding items which weren't there before. In that case, just replace reloadItemsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths with insertItemsAtIndexPaths:
[self.collectionView insertItemsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths]; // Use this for newly added rows
//[self.collectionView reloadItemsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths]; // Use this for existing rows which have changed
