Swift：UICollection视图布局问题

Question

I am trying to layout a UICollectionView like the mock-up I have drawn in the photo(also showing the index of each item):

The code I currently have to try and achieve this is:

In ViewDidLoad:

collectionView.dataSource = self
    collectionView.delegate = self

    flowLayout.scrollDirection = .horizontal
    flowLayout.minimumLineSpacing = 5
    flowLayout.minimumInteritemSpacing = 5
    flowLayout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 5)

Then later on the the file:

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
    let totalWidth = collectionView.bounds.size.width
    let totalHeight = collectionView.bounds.size.height
    let heightOfView = totalHeight / 3
    let numberOfCellsPerRow = 1
    let dimensions = CGFloat(Int(totalWidth) / numberOfCellsPerRow)
    if (indexPath.item == 4) {
        return CGSize(width: collectionView.bounds.size.width, height: heightOfView)
    } else {
        return CGSize(width: dimensions / 2, height: heightOfView)
    }
}

This code isn't having the desired effect, and is producing a UICollectionView that looks like this:

As you can see, the cells are not even in the UICollectionView , with the right-hand side cells overflowing into scroll space. The section gaps between the items are wrong and the 5th, the larger cell is on the right-hand side of the screen out of view unless scrolled to.

You cannot create such layout with standard UICollectionViewFlowLayout class. First of all watch WWDC videos related to UICollectionView and it's layout: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2012/219/ . Then you can check Swift tutorials with sample code to get started: http://swiftiostutorials.com/tutorial-creating-custom-layouts-uicollectionview/

Simplest working, but not best structured will be such code in custom UICollectionViewLayout . Use this as a starting point:

@interface UICollectionViewCustomLayout ()

@property (nonatomic) NSArray<UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *> *attributes;
@property (nonatomic) CGSize size;

@end

@implementation UICollectionViewCustomLayout

- (void)prepareLayout
{
    [super prepareLayout];

    NSMutableArray<UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *> *attributes = [NSMutableArray new];

    id<UICollectionViewDelegate> delegate = (id<UICollectionViewDelegate>)self.collectionView.delegate;
    id<UICollectionViewDataSource> dataSource = (id<UICollectionViewDataSource>)self.collectionView.dataSource;

    NSInteger count = [dataSource collectionView:self.collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:0];
    CGFloat collectionViewWidth = CGRectGetWidth(self.collectionView.frame);
    CGFloat collectionViewHeight = CGRectGetHeight(self.collectionView.frame);
    CGFloat rowHeight = floor(collectionViewHeight / 3);
    NSUInteger numberOfPages = count / 5;
    if (count % 5) {
        numberOfPages++;
    }

    for (NSInteger item = 0; item < count; item++) {
        NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:item inSection:0];
        UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *attribute = [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes layoutAttributesForCellWithIndexPath:indexPath];

        NSInteger index = item % 5;
        NSInteger page = item / 5;
        CGFloat width = index == 4 ? collectionViewWidth : collectionViewWidth / 2;
        CGSize size = CGSizeMake(width, rowHeight);
        CGFloat x = page * collectionViewWidth + (index % 2 == 0 ? 0 : collectionViewWidth / 2);
        CGFloat y = (index / 2) * rowHeight;
        CGPoint origin = CGPointMake(x, y);
        CGRect frame = CGRectZero;
        frame.size = size;
        frame.origin = origin;
        attribute.frame = frame;
        [attributes addObject:attribute];
    }
    self.attributes = attributes;

    self.size = CGSizeMake(numberOfPages * collectionViewWidth, collectionViewHeight);
}

- (NSArray *)layoutAttributesForElementsInRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    NSMutableArray<UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *> *result = [NSMutableArray new];
    for (UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *attribute in self.attributes) {
        if (CGRectIntersectsRect(attribute.frame, rect)) {
            [result addObject:attribute];
        }
    }
    return result;
}

- (UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *)layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"indexPath.section == %@ AND indexPath.item == %@", @(indexPath.section), @(indexPath.item)];
    UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *attributes = [self.attributes filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate].firstObject;
    return attributes;
}

- (CGSize)collectionViewContentSize
{
    return self.size;
}

@end

And controller:

// Views
#import "UICollectionViewCustomLayout.h"

@interface ViewController () <UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegate>

@property (nonatomic) UICollectionView *collectionView;

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.collectionView = [[UICollectionView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero collectionViewLayout:[UICollectionViewCustomLayout new]];
    self.collectionView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    self.collectionView.frame = self.view.bounds;
    self.collectionView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
    self.collectionView.delegate = self;
    self.collectionView.dataSource = self;
    [self.collectionView registerClass:[UICollectionViewCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:NSStringFromClass([UICollectionViewCell class])];
    [self.view addSubview:self.collectionView];
}

- (NSInteger)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return 10;
}

- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(nonnull NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    NSArray *colors = @[[UIColor redColor], [UIColor blueColor], [UIColor grayColor], [UIColor greenColor], [UIColor purpleColor], [UIColor cyanColor]];

    UICollectionViewCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:NSStringFromClass([UICollectionViewCell class]) forIndexPath:indexPath];
    cell.contentView.backgroundColor = colors[arc4random() % colors.count];
    cell.contentView.alpha = (arc4random() % 500 + 500) / 1000.0;
    return cell;
}

@end
