I am downloading some images and inserting them into my UICollectionView
These are my class members
var myItems:[UIImage] = []
var myView: UICollectionView?
I have a timer function that receives img:UIImage object. I insert that into my UICollectionView like this
self.myItems.insert(img, atIndex: self.myItems.count)
var count:Int? = self.myView?.numberOfItemsInSection(0)
var index:NSIndexPath = NSIndexPath(forRow: count!, inSection: 0)
self.myView?.insertItemsAtIndexPaths([index])
I also have this function:
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return self.myItems.count;
}
and this one:
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as MyCollectionViewCell
cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.orangeColor()
cell.textLabel.text = "Text \(indexPath.row)"
cell.imageView.image = myItems[indexPath.row]
cell.backgroundView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "cellbg"))
return cell
}
However my view does not show the new images immediately. I have to tap on the empty screen, then the new cell appears with its image. Also I cannot scroll the view if there are more cells that will fit in the view.
How do I refresh the view? Is there something wrong with the way I am dequeuing the cell?
