Navigation Buttons + UICollectionview on same controller?

Question

I'm newbie with iOS and asking for direction.

I want to make a page which contains navigation buttons on top and when tap load different UICollectionView's as you can see on the app screen taken from "Fancy". Also buttons line have to be fixed on top while scrolling down. (just like in the screenshot)

Which is the right approach?

1. Base class to be UICollectionViewController and adding as SubView
2. Using UIScrollViewController?

etc...

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Base class should be UiViewController implementing UICollectionViewDelegate

UIViewController <UICollectionViewDataSource,UICollectionViewDelegate,UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout>

Create different NSArray for each Category of your project as datasource of UICollectionView

use UISegmentedControl for switching the datasource of UICollectionView and reload UICollectionView to display different content. You can customise your Segmented Control as you wanted.

Implement UITabbarController for the bottom bar to enter any other views

Answer 2

There are a number of ways to go about this. The simplest would probably be to use a UIViewController subclass whose view contains a UISegmentedControl subview (for the navigation controls) and a UICollectionView subview for the content.
