iOS GridView with Sections - objective-c

Question

I am trying to implement my own gridview similar to KKGridView.
My gridview has extra complexity because it needs to support multiple sections with a varying amount of items / cells in each section. (See below)
It also needs to be able to handle moving one cell from section 1 to section 0 and section 0 to section 1.
I have written the UIView to display the grid but it does not support moving cells from one section to another. The question is does anybody have a gridview that supports this functionality or can advise me of the best way forward as this gridview needs to be supported in iOS 5 & iOS 6

I would try using a combination of UICollectionView, with a UICollectionViewFlowLayout along with PSTCollectionView for iOS5 compatibility.
Take a look at the UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout docs, I think you'll find everything you need to build a per-section custom layout as you need.
PSTCollectionView is a "open Source, 100% API compatible replacement of UICollectionView for iOS4.3+". Further, you can use UICollectionView on iOS6 and only fall back to PSTCollectionView on iOS5 devices. Take a look at the GitHub project page.
I'm using this approach in one of the apps I'm working on, and it is really simple to implement.
EDIT: The steps you'd take to make what you want would be roughly as following:
You need to download at include the PSTCollectionView in your project. For that follow the steps on the GitHub page.
In your .h file, import PSTCollectionView.h and add the following two protocols: <PSUICollectionViewDataSource, PSUICollectionViewDelegate>. Note that with this you'll use Apple's UICollectionView in iOS6 and PSTCollectionView in iOS5. Here you should also add a property for your collection view: #property (nonatomic, strong) PSUICollectionView *collectionView;
In the viewDidLoad: method, you need to have something like this:
Code:
PSUICollectionViewFlowLayout *flowLayout = [[PSUICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc] init];
[flowLayout setScrollDirection:UICollectionViewScrollDirectionVertical];
[flowLayout setItemSize:CGSizeMake(91, 119)];
[flowLayout setMinimumLineSpacing:0];
self.collectionView.dataSource = self;
self.collectionView.delegate = self;
And you'd need to implement the following methods to your liking:
Methods:
numberOfSectionsInCollectionView:
collectionView:numberOfItemsInSection:
collectionView:cellForItemAtIndexPath:
collectionView:layout:insetForSectionAtIndex:
collectionView:layout:minimumLineSpacingForSectionAtIndex:
collectionView:layout:minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAtIndex:
Important: Don't forget to prefix every mention of UICollectionView classes with PS. For example PSUICollectionView or PSUICollectionViewLayout.
EDIT 2: For a general understanding of UICollectionView refer to this excellent tutorial.

You can use you custom cells to achieve this functionality. One Cell with 10 subViews and 2nd with 6 subView. It will work for you.
you can get the view in the cell by tags i.e 1-6 and 1-10
