Normaly, if we want to use UICollectionView, we must use an UICollectionViewController. But now I don't want, so how can I use UICollectionView without an UICollectionViewController?

Of course you can use a UICollectionView without an UICollectionViewController.

Just create a UICollectionViewLayout of your choice, and then call 

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame collectionViewLayout:(UICollectionViewLayout *)layout

to create a new instance of UICollectionView. Don't forget to set the delegate and datasource of the UICollectionView to your class, and implement the UICollectionViewDataSource protocol.

Hope that helps.

And I set Ncontent as custom class for my UICollectionView, but it still error with message: "Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Auto Layout still required after executing -layoutSubviews. NContent's implementation of -layoutSubviews needs to call super – Brian Nguyen Jan 12 '13 at 09:34
  • There seems to be something messed up with your auto layout constraints. This has nothing to do with the `UICollectionView` itself. – Boris Prohaska Jan 12 '13 at 09:56
