Xcode Version : 10.3

I used xib to create a UIView and added a UICollectionView to the UIView.

When I added UICollectionViewCell, it didn't work. Means I can't drag UICollectionViewCell into UICollectionView

The structure I want is like this

UIView(xib) -> UICollectionView(xib) -> UICollectionViewCell(xib)

Of course, I can add UICollectionViewCell with code, but why doesn't it work with xib? Does anyone know the reason?

You have to add prototype cells in UICollectionView in xib and then change it's class from UICollectionViewCell to your desired custom class.

  • yes, add prototype cells not work with xib，I mean I can't drag `UICollectionViewCell` into `UICollectionView` – Nullable Sep 18 '19 at 09:22
  • It works. In your xib. select your collectionView and then increase the items count from 0 to 1 and change your prototype cell class. – Noor Sep 18 '19 at 09:33

  • Thank you, you are really attentive. My creation steps are like this: `cmd + n` -> `User interface` Select `View` -> Drag and drop `UICollectionView` -> Drag and drop `UICollectionViewCell ` failed. There is no `items` you mentioned, but it is working in `Storyboard` – Nullable Sep 18 '19 at 09:49

    It is not possible for `View` xibs. Like in the gif above, I've added this in `UICollectionView` inside `CollectionCell` xib and then it's `items` property was available for prototyping cells. – Noor Sep 18 '19 at 10:42
