RussianLooking at your proposed solution, it looks like you want to defer the question of making the operations cancelable. Furthermore, it looks like you want to defer the use of the cache (even though it's no more complicated than your NSMutableDictionary property).
So, setting that aside, your revised code sample has two "big picture" issues:
You can dramatically simplify the image retrieval process. The use of
startOperationForVisibleCellsand the two scroll delegates is unnecessarily complicated. There is a much simpler pattern in which you can retire those three methods (and achieve an even better UX).Your
cellForItemForIndexPathhas a problem, that you're adding subviews. The issue is that cells are reused, so every time a cell is reused, you're adding more redundant subviews.You really should subclass
UICollectionViewCell(CustomCellin my example below), put the configuration of the cell, including the adding of subviews, there. It simplifies yourcellForItemAtIndexPathand eliminates the problem of extra subviews being added.
In addition to these two major issues, there were a bunch of little issues:
You neglected to set
maxConcurrentOperationCountfor your operation queue. You really want to set that to4or5to avoid operation timeout errors.You are keying your
imageGalleryDatawith theNSIndexPath. The problem is that if you ever deleted a row, all of your subsequent indexes would be wrong. I suspect this isn't an issue right now (you're probably not anticipating deleting of items), but if you keyed it by something else, such as the URL, it's just as easy, but it is more future-proof.I'd suggest renaming your operation queue from
operationtoqueue. Likewise, I'd rename theUICollectionViewfromimages(which might be incorrectly inferred to be an array of images) to something likecollectionView. This is stylistic, and you don't have to do that if you don't want, but it's the convention I used below.Rather than saving the
NSDatain yourNSMutableDictionarycalledimageGalleryData, you might want to save theUIImageinstead. This saves you from having to reconvert fromNSDatatoUIImage(which should make the scrolling process smoother) as you scroll back to previously downloaded cells.
So, pulling that all together, you get something like:
static NSString * const kCellIdentifier = @"CustomCellIdentifier";
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UICollectionViewFlowLayout *layout = [[UICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc]init];
layout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 20, 10, 20);
[layout setItemSize:CGSizeMake(75, 75)];
// renamed `images` collection view to `collectionView` to follow common conventions
self.collectionView = [[UICollectionView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 230, self.view.frame.size.width, 200) collectionViewLayout:layout];
self.collectionView.delegate = self;
self.collectionView.dataSource = self;
// you didn't show where you instantiated this in your examples, but I'll do it here
self.imageGalleryData = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
// register a custom class, not `UICollectionViewCell`
[self.collectionView registerClass:[CustomCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:kCellIdentifier];
[self.view addSubview:self.collectionView];
// (a) change queue variable name;
// (b) set maxConcurrentOperationCount to prevent timeouts
self.queue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc]init];
self.queue.maxConcurrentOperationCount = 5;
[self.queue addOperationWithBlock:^{
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"getgallery.php?user=%@", userId] relativeToURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.mywebsite.com/"]];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
//datasource for all images
self.imagesGalleryPaths = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:nil];
[[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]addOperationWithBlock:^{
[self.collectionView reloadData];
}];
}];
}
- (NSInteger)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [self.imagesGalleryPaths count]; // just use whatever is the right value here, don't make this unnecessarily smaller
}
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
CustomCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:kCellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
NSString *key = self.imagesGalleryPaths[indexPath.row]; // I don't know whether this was simply array, or some nested structure, so tweak this accordingly
UIImage *image = self.imageGalleryData[key];
if (image) {
cell.imageView.image = image; // if we have image already, just use it
} else {
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"profile_default.png"]; // otherwise set the placeholder ...
[self.queue addOperationWithBlock:^{ // ... and initiate the asynchronous retrieval
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:...]; // build your URL from the `key` as appropriate
NSData *responseData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
if (responseData != nil) {
UIImage *downloadedImage = [UIImage imageWithData:responseData];
if (downloadedImage) {
[[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]addOperationWithBlock:^{
self.imageGalleryData[key] = downloadedImage;
CustomCell *updateCell = (id)[collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
if (updateCell) {
updateCell.imageView.image = downloadedImage;
}
}];
}
}
}];
}
return cell;
}
// don't forget to purge your gallery data if you run low in memory
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
[self.imageGalleryData removeAllObjects];
}
Now, clearly I don't have access to your server, so I couldn't check this (notably, I don't know if your JSON is returning a full URL or just a filename, or whether there was some nested array of dictionaries). But I don't want to you to get too lost in the details of my code, but rather look at the basic pattern: Eliminate your looping through visible cells and responding to scroll events, and let cellForItemAtIndexPath do all the work for you.
Now, the one thing that I introduced was the concept of CustomCell, which is a UICollectionViewCell subclass that might look like:
// CustomCell.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface CustomCell : UICollectionViewCell
@property (nonatomic, weak) UIImageView *imageView;
@end
and then move cell configuration and adding of the subview here to the @implementation:
// CustomCell.m
#import "CustomCell.h"
@implementation CustomCell
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
self.layer.borderWidth = 1;
self.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor whiteColor]CGColor];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, frame.size.width, frame.size.height)];
[self addSubview:imageView];
_imageView = imageView;
}
return self;
}
@end
By the way, I still contend that if you want to do this properly, you should refer to my other answer. And if you don't want to get lost in those weeds of the proper implementation, then just use a third party UIImageView category that supports asynchronous image retrieval, caching, prioritizing network requests of visible cells, etc., such as SDWebImage.
