In my app I have a collection view with cells autosizing horizontally. Here's some code:
// called in viewDidLoad()
private func setupCollectionView() {
let cellNib = UINib(nibName: SomeCell.nibName, bundle: nil)
collectionView.register(cellNib, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: SomeCell.reuseIdentifier)
guard let flowLayout = collectionView.collectionViewLayout as? UICollectionViewFlowLayout else { return }
flowLayout.estimatedItemSize = UICollectionViewFlowLayout.automaticSize
flowLayout.itemSize = UICollectionViewFlowLayout.automaticSize
}
The cell has 1 view, which has constraint for heigth. This view subviews a label, which is limited with 2 rows and is not limited by width. The idea here is to allow label to calculate its own width fitting text in 2 rows.
In order to make this work I've added the following code to the cell class:
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
contentView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
contentView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leftAnchor).isActive = true
contentView.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: rightAnchor).isActive = true
contentView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor).isActive = true
contentView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bottomAnchor).isActive = true
}
Now, it works perfectly. Cells are autosizng, scrollView is scrolling horizontally etc. Until I call reloadData()
at least once. Then cells have size 50x50 and never autosize any more until I leave the screen and come back again.
Do you have any ideas on why is it happening?
