iOS CollectionView with horizontal paging instead of vertical scrolling
- by Nico Griffioen
I'm working on a project for a client. It's an iPad pdf reader. The client wants a collection view, but instead of scrolling vertically, he wants it to use a page control.
It's pretty hard to explain, but what I basically want is all the PDFs on the device in a grid, like on the iBooks app. When that grid overflows, I want to use a page control to display the extra elements on a second page (like in the weather app).
My thoughts on this were:
- Create a page control with one page.
- On that page, create a UICollectionView.
- If the number of elements is greater than 9 add a page to the page control and add another UICollectionView, until there are enough pages to display all elements.
However, this seems horribly inefficient, so my question is if there's a better way to do this.
