UICollectionViewWaterfallLayout

iOS 6 introduced a new feature called UICollectionView. UICollectionViewWaterfallLayout is a subclass of UICollectionViewLayout.

This layout is inspired by Pinterest. It also is compatible with PSTUICollectionView.

2 columns 3 columns

Prerequisite

  • ARC
  • Xcode 4.4+, which supports literals syntax.
  • iOS 6+, or
  • iOS 5 and below, with PSTUICollectionView.

How to Use

Step 1

There are four properties for you to set up.

@property (nonatomic, weak) id<UICollectionViewDelegateWaterfallLayout> delegate;
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSUInteger columnCount; // How many columns
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat itemWidth; // Width for every column
@property (nonatomic, assign) UIEdgeInsets sectionInset; // The margins used to lay out content in a section

It's your responsibility to set up delegate, columnCount, and itemWidth, they are required. But sectionInset is optional.

Step 2

And you also need to implement one method in your delegate for the UICollectionViewDelegateWaterfallLayout protocol.

- (CGFloat)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView
                   layout:(UICollectionViewWaterfallLayout *)collectionViewLayout
 heightForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;

Then you are done! Easy, right?

Limitation

  • Only one section is supported.
  • Only vertical scrolling is supported.
  • No supplementary view and decoration view.
