UITableView cell with collection view

Question

I have created a .xib file for TableView cell, and I want to add a collection view into that cell. picture The gray rectangle shown in the picture is a collection view, my question is why the collection view doesn't show a prototype cell. What did I do wrong? Or this is what it should be, then how can I add a prototype cell? By making another .xib file for the UICollectionVew Cell?

Answer 1

my question is why the collection view doesn't show a prototype cell

Because it's a .xib . Prototype cells are a storyboard feature.
