I have a UICollectionView that is the entire view but it lives inside "view" (it is not UICollectionViewController). Adding a cell to this collection view shows it in the following order in storyboard:
This is how it looks in the emulator:
I don't understand how to get rid of that view. All the insets are at zero in Storyboard Size Inspector for collection view. Just to be sure, I also have the following code:
override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
let layout = self.collectionViewProducts.collectionViewLayout as! UICollectionViewFlowLayout
let containerWidth = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width - 40.0
let itemWidth = (containerWidth / 3.0)
let itemHeight = (itemWidth / 0.75) + 30
layout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: 0.0, bottom: 0.0, right: 0.0)
layout.itemSize = CGSize(width: itemWidth, height: itemHeight)
}
How can I get rid of that top padding?
You can fix top padding issue by considering one of the following method.
Method 1: Natural way to fix your problem by setting up your collectionView dimensions
properly from StoryBoard
.
Method 2: **Updated**
You can validate collection frame
in viewDidLayoutSubviews
or viewWillLayoutSubviews
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
collectionView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height: view.frame.height)
}
Method 3: You can Adjust Scroll View Insets
from your StoryBoard
Attributes Inspector
.
Method 4: You can fix this issue programatically by adjusting CollectionView contentInset
.
collectionView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: **Any Value**, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)
Output with top padding 5:
Output with top padding 44:
Output with top padding 64:
I think because this viewController is embedded in a navigationController. Let select this viewController in the storyboard and uncheck Adjust Scroll View Insets:
