UICollectionView current visible cell index

Question

I am using UICollectionView first time in my iPad application  I have set UICollectionView such that its size and cell size is same  means only once cell is displayed at a time  Problem  Now when user scroll UICollectionView I need to know which cell is visible I have to update other UI elements on change  I didn t find any delegate method for this  How can I achieve this  Code   self mainImageCollection setTag MAIN IMAGE COLLECTION VIEW    self mainImageCollection registerClass  InspirationMainImageCollectionCell class  forCellWithReuseIdentifier   quot cellIdentifier quot     self mainImageFlowLayout setScrollDirection UICollectionViewScrollDirectionHorizontal    self mainImageFlowLayout setMinimumInteritemSpacing 0 0f    self mainImageFlowLayout setMinimumLineSpacing 0 0f   self mainImageFlowLayout minimumLineSpacing   0   self mainImageCollection setPagingEnabled YES    self mainImageCollection setShowsHorizontalScrollIndicator NO    self mainImageCollection setCollectionViewLayout self mainImageFlowLayout    What I have tried  As UICollectionView conforms to UIScrollView  I got when user scroll ends with UIScrollViewDelegate method - void scrollViewDidEndDecelerating  UIScrollView   scrollView  But inside above function how can I get current visible cell index of UICollectionView

This is old question but in my case     -  void  scrollViewWillBeginDragging  UIScrollView   scrollView         m offsetIdx    m cv indexPathForCell m cv visibleCells firstObject  row     -  void  scrollViewDidEndDecelerating  UIScrollView   scrollView        m offsetIdx    m cv indexPathForCell m cv visibleCells lastObject  row

Swift 3 0  Simplest solution which will give you indexPath for visible cells    yourCollectionView indexPathsForVisibleItems    will return the array of indexpath   Just take the first object from array like this   yourCollectionView indexPathsForVisibleItems first   I guess it should work fine with Objective - C as well

Just want to add for others   for some reason  I didnt not get the cell that was visible to the user when I was scrolling to previous cell in collectionView with pagingEnabled   So I insert the code inside dispatch async to give it some  air  and this works for me   - void scrollViewDidEndDecelerating  UIScrollView   scrollView       dispatch async dispatch get main queue                   UICollectionViewCell   visibleCell    self collectionView visibleCells  objectAtIndex 0                  visibleCell doSomthing

converting  Anthony s answer to Swift 3 0 worked perfectly for me   func scrollViewDidScroll   scrollView  UIScrollView         var visibleRect   CGRect       visibleRect origin   yourCollectionView contentOffset     visibleRect size   yourCollectionView bounds size     let visiblePoint   CGPoint x  CGFloat visibleRect midX   y  CGFloat visibleRect midY       let visibleIndexPath  IndexPath    yourCollectionView indexPathForItem at  visiblePoint      print  Visible cell s index is     visibleIndexPath  row

In this thread  There are so many solutions that work fine if cell takes full screen but they use collection view bounds and midpoints of Visible rect However there is a simple solution to this problem      DispatchQueue main async           let visibleCell   self collImages visibleCells first         print self collImages indexPath for  visibleCell           by this  you can get indexPath of the visible cell  I have added DispatchQueue because when you swipe faster and if for a brief moment the next cell is shown then without dispactchQueue you ll get indexPath of briefly shown cell not the cell that is being displayed on the screen

For completeness sake  this is the method that ended up working for me  It was a combination of  Anthony  amp   iAn s methods   -  void scrollViewDidEndDecelerating  UIScrollView   scrollView         CGRect visibleRect    CGRect   origin   self collectionView contentOffset   size   self collectionView bounds size         CGPoint visiblePoint   CGPointMake CGRectGetMidX visibleRect   CGRectGetMidY visibleRect          NSIndexPath  visibleIndexPath    self collectionView indexPathForItemAtPoint visiblePoint         NSLog       visibleIndexPath

indexPathsForVisibleItems might work for most situations  but sometimes it returns an array with more than one index path and it can be tricky figuring out the one you want  In those situations  you can do something like this   CGRect visibleRect    CGRect   origin   self collectionView contentOffset   size   self collectionView bounds size   CGPoint visiblePoint   CGPointMake CGRectGetMidX visibleRect   CGRectGetMidY visibleRect    NSIndexPath  visibleIndexPath    self collectionView indexPathForItemAtPoint visiblePoint     This works especially well when each item in your collection view takes up the whole screen     Swift version     let visibleRect   CGRect origin  collectionView contentOffset  size  collectionView bounds size  let visiblePoint   CGPoint x  visibleRect midX  y  visibleRect midY  let visibleIndexPath   collectionView indexPathForItem at  visiblePoint

You can use scrollViewDidEndDecelerating  for this     property  strong  nonatomic  IBOutlet UICollectionView  collectionView      -  void scrollViewDidEndDecelerating  UIScrollView   scrollView           for  UICollectionViewCell  cell in  self collectionView visibleCells                 NSIndexPath  indexPath    self collectionView indexPathForCell cell               NSUInteger lastIndex    indexPath indexAtPosition  indexPath length  - 1               NSLog   visible cell value  d  lastIndex

It will probably be best to use UICollectionViewDelegate methods   Swift 3      Called before the cell is displayed     func collectionView   collectionView  UICollectionView  willDisplay cell  UICollectionViewCell  forItemAt indexPath  IndexPath        print indexPath row        Called when the cell is displayed func collectionView   collectionView  UICollectionView  didEndDisplaying cell  UICollectionViewCell  forItemAt indexPath  IndexPath        print indexPath row
