UICollectionView Header and Footer View

Question

Hello I am wondering how do we achieve this?

In UITableView we could simply do

tableView.tableHeaderView = SomeView;

or

tableView.tableFooterView = SomeView;

But I am wondering how to do the same for UICollectionView.

P.S.: Not Section Header and Footer

Answer 1

UITableView have global headers tableHeaderView and tableFooterView, but UICollectionView does not have global headers so you'll have to use the section headers.

Answer 2

Try it...

First register class in ViewDidLoad

registerClass(myFooterViewClass, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter, withReuseIdentifier: "Footer")

then use this method

override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView,   viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, atIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView {

  switch kind {

    case UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader:

        let header = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind(kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Header", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UICollectionReusableView

        header = SomeView
        return header

    case UICollectionElementKindSectionFooter:
        let footer = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind(kind, withReuseIdentifier: "Footer", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UICollectionReusableView

        footer= SomeView 
        return footer

    default:

       print("anything")
    }
}

I hope it help...
