Uicollectionview - Horizontal Paging with One Cell at a Time

Paging UICollectionView by cells, not screen

OK, so I found the solution here: targetContentOffsetForProposedContentOffset:withScrollingVelocity without subclassing UICollectionViewFlowLayout

I should have searched for targetContentOffsetForProposedContentOffset in the begining.

UICollectionView horizontal paging with space between pages

Solution one:

1. collectionView.isPagingEnabled = false
2. add a minimumLineSpacing for the distance between pages
3. implement targetContentOffsetForProposedContentOffset:withScrollingVelocity: to move the contentOffset to the closest page. You can calculate the page with simple math based on your itemSize and minimumLineSpacing, but it can take a little work to get it right.

Solution Two:

1. collectionView.isPagingEnabled = true
2. add a minimumLineSpacing for the distance between pages
3. the paging size is based on the bounds of the collectionView. So make the collectionView larger then then screenSize. For example, if you have a minimumLineSpacing of 10 then set the frame of the collectionView to be {0,-5, width+10, height}
4. set a contentInset equal to the minimumLineSpacing to make the first and last item appear correctly.

Swift - Paging UICollectionView by cell while keeping the cell horizontally centered

You can use insetForSectionAtIndex to add spacing at first and last cell


UPDATE
You can use scroll view.

First: add leading and trailing to scroll view:

Second: scrollView.clipsToBounds = false
Third: add view to scroll view

func setupScrollView() {
    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        self.scrollView.layoutIfNeeded() // in order to get correct frame

        let numberItem = 6
        let spaceBetweenView: CGFloat = 20
        let firstAndLastSpace: CGFloat = spaceBetweenView / 2            
        let width = self.scrollView.frame.size.width
        let height = self.scrollView.frame.size.height
        let numberOfView: CGFloat = CGFloat(numberItem)
        let scrollViewContentSizeWidth = numberOfView * width

        self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: scrollViewContentSizeWidth, height: height)

        for index in 0..<numberItem {
            let xCoordinate = (CGFloat(index) * (width)) + firstAndLastSpace
            let viewFrame = CGRect(x: xCoordinate, y: 0, width: width - spaceBetweenView, height: height)
            let view = UIView()
            view.backgroundColor = .red

            view.frame = viewFrame
            self.scrollView.addSubview(view)
        }
    }
}

UICollectionView Horizontal Paging not centered

Remove spaces between items. For horizontal scrolling collection view set minimum line spacing to 0. You can do this with interface builder or with method of UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout protocol:

- (CGFloat)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView 
                   layout:(UICollectionViewLayout *)collectionViewLayout 
        minimumLineSpacingForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section {
    return 0;    
}

Another way is making your cell's width less than collectionView's width for a value of horizontal space between items. Then add section insets with left and right insets that equal a half of horizontal space between items. For example, your minimum line spacing is 10:

- (CGFloat)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView
                   layout:(UICollectionViewLayout *)collectionViewLayout
        minimumLineSpacingForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section {
    return 10;
}

- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView 
                  layout:(UICollectionViewLayout *)collectionViewLayout 
  sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    return CGSizeMake(collectionView.frame.size.width - 10, collectionView.frame.size.height);
}

- (UIEdgeInsets)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView 
                        layout:(UICollectionViewLayout *)collectionViewLayout 
        insetForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section {
    return UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 5, 0, 5);
}

And third way: manipulate collectionView scroll in scrollViewDidEndDecelerating: method:

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
    if (scrollView == self.collectionView) {
        CGPoint currentCellOffset = self.collectionView.contentOffset;
        currentCellOffset.x += self.collectionView.frame.size.width / 2;
        NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.collectionView indexPathForItemAtPoint:currentCellOffset];
        [self.collectionView scrollToItemAtIndexPath:indexPath
                                    atScrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionCenteredHorizontally
                                            animated:YES];
    }
}
