Can we set different flowlayout in different sections within a UICollectionView?

Question

Here is the picture for explanation http://childhoodgamedev.qiniudn.com/xincheng_demo.png

Question Description

In section 0, the flowlayout is common, like a grid, in section 1, the flowlayout is circular (They are in a UICollectionView).

The Target

With the users' scrolling, the first part is grid flowlayout, the second part is a custom and more complex flowlayout.

Can we implement this? If not, any one good ideas? Thanks.

I have a similar Problem, do you have any Solution for this? – Farrington

Finally, I used another UICollectionView or simple UIView as the section2's cell. – Tedmann

Answer 1

It looks like ChildhoodAndy solved his problem, but for future readers this is probably a good candidate for a UIPageViewController using UIPageViewControllerTransitionStyleScroll. Each page would be its own UICollectionViewController with whatever custom layout is needed.

Improbable

how does this pagecontroller solve anything.. i need a both views to be simultaneously visible, and not discretely. as one page only at a time. half of both can be visible.. had this answer not been marked, i would have been looking at a more accurate answer.. anyways if someone finds then please reply – Headland
