I have a UICollectionViewLayout grid with three columns. Each item in the column has a cell full of text. I would like all the columns to be the same height as the tallest item in the group. Using UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout I'm having a hard time getting the desired results.
I created a EqualHeightsUICollectionViewCompositionalLayout subcalss to check the cell attributes in layoutAttributesForElements and stores the largest cell height in a row. This seems to work good intially, but when the collectionview invalidates, the cell sizes are not always correct. How can I fix this?
Here is an example project, and here is a stack overflow post
class EqualHeightsUICollectionViewCompositionalLayout: UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout{
var largestDict: [Int: CGFloat] = [:]
let columns = 3
override func layoutAttributesForElements(in rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]? {
let attributes = super.layoutAttributesForElements(in: rect)
if let attributes = attributes {
for attribute in attributes {
let height = attribute.frame.height
let row = attribute.indexPath.row / columns
if height > 1 {
self.largestDict[row] = max(height, largestDict[row] ?? 0)
}
}
}
return attributes
}
override func invalidateLayout() {
super.invalidateLayout()
largestDict.removeAll()
}
}
class TextCell: UICollectionViewCell {
let label = UILabel()
let bottomLabel = UILabel()
let container = UIView()
weak var collectionView: UICollectionView?
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
configure()
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("not implemented")
}
override func preferredLayoutAttributesFitting(_ layoutAttributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes) -> UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes {
let attribute = super.preferredLayoutAttributesFitting(layoutAttributes)
if let layout = collectionView?.collectionViewLayout as? EqualHeightsUICollectionViewCompositionalLayout{
let row = attribute.indexPath.row / layout.columns
if let height = layout.largestDict[row] {
attribute.frame = .init(origin: attribute.frame.origin, size: .init(width: attribute.frame.width, height: height))
}
}
return attribute
}
private func configure() {
label.numberOfLines = 0
label.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .title1)
label.backgroundColor = .systemPurple
label.textColor = .white
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label.setContentHuggingPriority(.defaultHigh, for: .vertical)
bottomLabel.numberOfLines = 0
bottomLabel.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .title1)
bottomLabel.text = "Bottom of cell"
bottomLabel.backgroundColor = .systemRed
bottomLabel.textColor = .white
bottomLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
bottomLabel.setContentHuggingPriority(.defaultLow, for: .vertical)
contentView.addSubview(label)
contentView.addSubview(bottomLabel)
backgroundColor = .systemBlue.withAlphaComponent(0.75)
let inset = CGFloat(0)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
label.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.leadingAnchor, constant: inset),
label.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.trailingAnchor, constant: -inset),
label.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.topAnchor, constant: inset),
bottomLabel.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: label.leadingAnchor),
bottomLabel.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: label.trailingAnchor),
bottomLabel.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: label.bottomAnchor, constant: inset),
bottomLabel.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.bottomAnchor, constant: -inset),
])
}
}
func createLayout() -> UICollectionViewLayout {
let spacing = CGFloat(10)
let itemSize = NSCollectionLayoutSize(widthDimension: .fractionalWidth(1.0),
heightDimension: .estimated(1))
let item = NSCollectionLayoutItem(layoutSize: itemSize)
let groupSize = NSCollectionLayoutSize(widthDimension: .fractionalWidth(1.0),
heightDimension: .estimated(1))
let group = NSCollectionLayoutGroup.horizontal(layoutSize: groupSize, subitem: item, count: 3)
group.interItemSpacing = .fixed(spacing)
let section = NSCollectionLayoutSection(group: group)
section.interGroupSpacing = spacing
section.contentInsets = NSDirectionalEdgeInsets(top: 0, leading: 10, bottom: 0, trailing: 10)
return EqualHeightsUICollectionViewCompositionalLayout(section: section)
}
