how to get indexPath for cell which is located in the center of UICollectionView

Question

How can i find indexPath for cell in the middle of UICollectionView?

I have horizontal scrolling and only one big cell is visible (partially two other cells on the sides are visible as well). I need to delete cell located in the center (means - current cell) without touching it.

Only pressing "Trash" button and confirm Delete. But now it delete only first cells.

- (void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {     if (buttonIndex == actionSheet.destructiveButtonIndex) {          initialPinchPoint = ????????          self.tappedCellPath = [self.collectionView indexPathForItemAtPoint:initialPinchPoint];          Technique *technique = [arrayOfTechnique objectAtIndex:self.tappedCellPath.row];          [self deleteData:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"DELETE FROM TECHNIQUES WHERE TECHNIQUENAME IS '%s'",[technique.techniquename UTF8String]]];          [arrayOfTechnique removeObjectAtIndex:self.tappedCellPath.row];          //[arrayOfTechnique removeObjectAtIndex:[custom_layout ]];         [self removeImage:technique.techniquename];          [self.collectionView performBatchUpdates:^{             [self.collectionView deleteItemsAtIndexPaths:[NSArrayarrayWithObject:self.tappedCellPath]];          } completion:nil];           [self checkArrayCount];     } } 

Answer 1

Like you did yourself, indexPathForItemAtPoint is a good way of finding the index path of the element you're interested in. If your question is: how do i know the coordinates of this point? Then you should try with (using the same name you gave it in your code snippet):

initialPinchPoint = CGPointMake(self.collectionView.center.x + self.collectionView.contentOffset.x,                                  self.collectionView.center.y + self.collectionView.contentOffset.y);

Here's what I did in Swift 3

private func findCenterIndex() {     let center = self.view.convert(self.collectionView.center, to: self.collectionView)     let index = collectionView!.indexPathForItem(at: center)     print(index ?? "index not found") }
