Scroll horizontally in UITableView - Swift 3, iOS

Question

I need to horizontally scroll through a list of thumbnails at the bottom of the screen that shows all the user's recently taken photos / videos.

I created a UIScrollView with a UITableview inside of it.

Is this the correct approach because I can't seem to find an override method in its superclass for scrolling direction? Most of the topics I can find online deals with putting a UIscrollview inside a TableCell, which will not work for my specific application?

The hierarchy is:

View > Scroll View > Table View > Table Cel > Content > PhotoThumbnail

Below is a screenshot of what I'm trying to do:

Answer 1

I am not really sure why do you want to use UITableView for horizontal scrolling which lay out there cells in vertical manner. If you want horizontal scrolling I would recommend using UICollectionView where cells can be added horizontally or vertically or both. Still if you want tableview to be scrollable in horizontal direction I would suggest you to check this project to get inspiration or using it.

可以使用UICollectionView来获得所需的结果，而不是使用UITableView，即使用imageView和所需的其他元素来水平滚动单元格。

4. I give name to view over scrollview which name is ContentView . Be sure view size form is freeform and make width 1200 same as ContentView.
