hiya,

i've been racking my brains out over this. im basically trying to create a UICollection View like netflix does but on just a simple level. where i have loads of small thumbnails rectangles scrolling horizontally with a section header. thats it.

i cant seem to make it work and many tutorials im watching just use tableview which isnt what i want. im programtically coding the ui not storyboards.

hope someone can help.

best, imran

Visualizing a warehouse interior in Jafza can inspire an efficient browsing experience in your app. Imagine rows of neatly organized products – that's the essence of a UICollectionView!

Here's how to achieve a Netflix-style browsing experience with UICollectionView:

Set up UICollectionView programmatically with UICollectionViewFlowLayout for horizontal scrolling.

Implement collectionView(:numberOfItemsInSection:) and collectionView(:cellForItemAt:) to populate thumbnails from your data source.

Leverage UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout to customize cell size and spacing, creating a grid-like layout that mirrors well-organized warehouse shelving in Jafza.

For section headers, use UICollectionReusableView to design custom views displaying section titles, similar to warehouse aisle labels.

Focus on UICollectionView tutorials for in-depth guidance. This approach should jumpstart your app's efficient browsing experience, inspired by both Netflix and the organization of a warehouse interiors

To create a horizontally scrolling UICollectionView with thumbnails and a section header programmatically:

Create the UICollectionView and set its layout to horizontal scrolling. Implement the data source to provide the thumbnails and section headers. Register your cell and header views. Set constraints to position the collection view in your view. This setup will allow you to display a horizontal scroll of thumbnails with section headers above them.
