I'm trying to learn how to create a custom NSCollectionViewLayout. I've followed some tutorials, but I always got the same result, an empty CollectionView.
The code that I've been using is this one: https://github.com/Jatapiaro/CustomCollectionViewLayout
My implementation of the custom NSCollectionViewLayout is:
#import "CollectionViewCustomLayout.h"
@implementation CollectionViewCustomLayout {
CGFloat _itemHeight;
}
- (instancetype)init
{
if (self = [super init]) {
_itemHeight = 100;
}
return self;
}
- (void)prepareLayout
{
[super prepareLayout];
}
/**
* The width and height of the entire collection view content
*/
- (NSSize)collectionViewContentSize
{
NSInteger numberOfItems = self.collectionView.numberOfSections;
if (!numberOfItems)
return NSZeroSize;
NSSize size = self.collectionView.superview.bounds.size;
size.height = _itemHeight * numberOfItems;
return size;
}
/**
* Set the layout of each item inside the collection view
*/
- (NSArray<__kindof NSCollectionViewLayoutAttributes *> *)layoutAttributesForElementsInRect:(NSRect)rect
{
NSInteger numberOfItems = [self.collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:0];
NSMutableArray<NSCollectionViewLayoutAttributes *> *attributes = [NSMutableArray array];
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < numberOfItems; i++) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:i inSection:0];
NSCollectionViewLayoutAttributes *itemAttributes = [NSCollectionViewLayoutAttributes layoutAttributesForItemWithIndexPath:indexPath];
if (itemAttributes)
[attributes addObject:itemAttributes];
}
return attributes;
}
- (NSCollectionViewLayoutAttributes *)layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSInteger numberOfItems = [self.collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:0];
if (!numberOfItems)
return nil;
NSRect frame = NSMakeRect(0, _itemHeight * indexPath.item, self.collectionViewContentSize.width, _itemHeight);
NSCollectionViewLayoutAttributes *itemAttributes = [NSCollectionViewLayoutAttributes layoutAttributesForItemWithIndexPath:indexPath];
itemAttributes.frame = frame;
return itemAttributes;
}
- (BOOL)shouldInvalidateLayoutForBoundsChange:(NSRect)newBounds
{
return YES;
}
@end
Even that all the methods in the implementation are called, I always get the following result once the app is running.
Does anyone has an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
