Add custom cell in childViewController

Question

I have a childViewController on a UICollectionViewController. I have so my childViewController appears on the screen. But when I register a cell collectionView?.register(MyCustomCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: CellId) and use numberOfItemsInSection and cellForItemAt. The problem is that the cells wont appear, I have checked the code so it´s right. Can it be something with the childViewController?

Answer 1

Generally it's not preferred to add any child view or viewController to UICollectionViewController or UITableViewController as you will see un-expected results as both of them inherits from scrollview and make the added content scroll able or scattered any place, if you have then better create a custom viewController with a collectionView and the childViewController
