AQGridView 1.0

AQGridView is an attempt to create something similar to NSCollectionView on the iPhone. If CALayoutManager were available on the iPhone, specifically the CAConstraintLayoutManager, then this would be relatively easy to put together. However, since none of those exist, there???*a*?s a lot of work to be done.<br /><br />AQGridView is based around the programming model of UITableView and its associated classes. To create this class I looked long and hard at how UITableView does what it does, and attempted to replicate it as closely as possible. This means that if you are familiar with table view programming on the iPhone or iPad, you will find AQGridView simple to pick up.<br />Similarities with UITableView<br /><br /> * A subclass of UIScrollView.<br /> * Reusable grid cells, similar to UITableViewCell.<br /> * Data source and delegate very similar to those used with UITableView.<br /> * Immediate and batched changes to the content list (insert, remove, reorder, reload).<br /> * Similar change animations (top, bottom, left, right, fade).<br /> * Simple AQGridViewController provided which performs grid view setup for you, similar to UITableViewController.<br /> * Support for custom header and footer views.<br /><br />Differences from UITableView<br /><br /> * No sections* uses NSUInteger as its index location rather than NSIndexPath.<br /> * Data source can specify a desired minimum size for all grid cells.<br /> * Cells are not automatically resized to fit in layout grid* this can be changed via a property.<br /> * The delegate gets an opportunity to adjust the layout frame for each cell as it is displayed.<br /> * The grid layout is adjusted to fit the contentSize width. You can specify left and/or right padding to reach a size which can be divided into three, five, etc. cells per row.<br /> * A customizable ???*?glow???*a*? selection style, which places a glow around a cell???*a*?s layer (or a specified sublayer) using the shadowRadius property of CALayer. Note that this is only available in iPhone OS 3.2 or later.
