UICollection View - Dont adds new custom cells - objective-c

Question

I have a collectionView inside a view. I did setup hte datasource, the delegate and everything.
This cell is working:
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UICollectionViewCell *cell = [self.collectionAddedMembers dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:cellReuseIdentifierAdded forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.backgroundColor = [colores objectAtIndex:arc4random_uniform(6)];
return cell;
}
But on my custom cell AddedMemberCollectionViewCell it dont adds new cells:
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
AddedMemberCollectionViewCell *cell = [self.collectionAddedMembers dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:cellReuseIdentifierAdded forIndexPath:indexPath];
NSArray *firstSection = [selectedMembersData objectAtIndex:0];
SelectedContacto *cellData = [firstSection objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSMutableDictionary *dataForConfigure = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[dataForConfigure setObject:cellData.contactAvatar forKey:#"contactAvatar"];
[dataForConfigure setObject:cellData.contactName forKey:#"contactName"];
[dataForConfigure setObject:cellData.memberId forKey:#"contactName"];
[cell configure:dataForConfigure];
return cell;
}
This is the code of the custom cell.
.h file:
#interface AddedMemberCollectionViewCell : UICollectionViewCell
#property (nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *avatar;
#property (nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *memberName;
#property (nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *removeMember;
#property (nonatomic) NSNumber *memberId;
- (void) configure:(NSDictionary*)cellData;
#end
.m file
#import "AddedMemberCollectionViewCell.h"
#implementation AddedMemberCollectionViewCell
- (void) configure:(NSDictionary*)cellData {
self.avatar = [cellData objectForKey:#"contactAvatar"];
self.memberName = [cellData objectForKey:#"contactName"];
self.memberId = [cellData objectForKey:#"memberId"];
}
#end
I could provide more code, but I am thinking would not be necessary. What is happening here?
EDIT:
Registering in viewDidLoad:
self.searchBar.delegate = self;
self.tableView.delegate = self;
self.tableView.dataSource = self;
self.collectionAddedMembers.dataSource = self;
self.collectionAddedMembers.delegate = self;
[self.collectionAddedMembers registerClass:AddedMemberCollectionViewCell.class forCellWithReuseIdentifier:cellReuseIdentifierAdded];

Answer 1

Are you sure that the cell is not actually added to your collection view?
However, you were not doing it right, as calling dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier will NOT create UICollectionViewCell but re-use an existing cell, hence your initialization code in init will never have chance to be called.
A good approach should look like this:
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
CustomCell *cell = (CustomCell *)[collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:#"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
NSDictionary *cellData = [data objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
// Call custom cell's configure function to init cell content
[cell configure:cellData];
return cell;
}
#interface CustomCell : UICollectionViewCell
-(void)configure:(NSDictionary *)data;
#end
#implementation CustomCell
-(void)configure:(NSDictionary *)data {
// Init your cell content
}
#end
