UICollectionView控制元件的使用一般會在特殊的介面處理上，但是也有比較規矩的應用軟體會用UICollectionView。例如效果如下的介面；

下面開始講述我的介面是如何做的。

1.首先我會把介面分成5個section，這就需要上篇文章講述的自定義UICollectionReusableView 和自定義自定義UICollectioncell相結合了。

2.每個section下的cell需要不同的佈局樣式，這個跟以前的uitableview的自定義cell是一毛一樣的。

3.UICollectionViewFlowLayout對佈局的定義（最重要的也是這個）

下面上程式碼：

//自定義的五個section
-(UICollectionReusableView *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind:(NSString *)kind atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UICollectionReusableView *resuableView;
    //每一個section的headerview
    if (indexPath.section == 0) {
        if (kind == UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader) {
            UICollectionReusableView *headerView = [collectionView dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader withReuseIdentifier:@"cycleHeader"
 
 forIndexPath:indexPath];
            headerView.backgroundColor = QFWhiteColor;
            [headerView addSubview:self.sdcycleScroll];
            self.sdcycleScroll.sd_layout.spaceToSuperView(UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0));
            resuableView = headerView;
        }
        else
        {
            return nil;
 

        }
    }
    else
    {
        UICollectionReusableView *headerView = [collectionView dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader withReuseIdentifier:@"headerView" forIndexPath:indexPath];
        headerView.backgroundColor = QFWhiteColor;
        //清空子view
        [QFCommon removeAllSubViewsOnView:headerView];

        if (indexPath.section == 1)
        {
            resuableView = headerView;
        }
        else
        {
            _mainModel = _mainList[indexPath.section];
            //標題
            UILabel *titleLable = [UILabel new];
            titleLable.backgroundColor = QFClearColor;
            titleLable.textColor = QFSectionTitleColor;
            titleLable.font = QFUsualBody;
            titleLable.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
            titleLable.text = _mainModel.section.secction_chinses;
            [headerView addSubview:titleLable];
            //分割線
            UILabel *sectionLine = [UILabel new];
            sectionLine.backgroundColor = QFLineColor;
            [headerView addSubview:sectionLine];
            //英文
            UILabel *englishLable = [UILabel new];
            englishLable.backgroundColor = QFClearColor;
            englishLable.textColor = QFSectionSubTitleColor;
            englishLable.font = QFUsualLabel;
            englishLable.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
            englishLable.text = _mainModel.section.section_english;
            [headerView addSubview:englishLable];
            //佈局約束
            titleLable.sd_layout.leftSpaceToView(headerView,0).topSpaceToView(headerView,5).rightSpaceToView(headerView,0).heightIs(25);
            sectionLine.sd_layout.topSpaceToView(titleLable,0).centerXEqualToView(headerView).widthIs(50).heightIs(1);
            englishLable.sd_layout.leftSpaceToView(headerView,0).topSpaceToView(sectionLine,0).rightSpaceToView(headerView,0).heightIs(20);
            resuableView = headerView;
        }
    }
    return resuableView;
}

2.不同的cell

//每行3個方格的cell

//下面的多種cell

最後將自定義的layout程式碼上一下，這個也是最重要的。

#import "ForeverGuardFlowLayout.h"

//預設的邊緣間距
static const UIEdgeInsets QFDefaultEdgeInsets = {10,10,10,10};

@interface ForeverGuardFlowLayout()
/** 存放所有cell的佈局屬性 */
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *attrsArray;
/** 存放所有列的當前高度 */
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *columnHeights;
/** 內容的高度 */
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat contentHeight;
//佈局進行到的section
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSInteger lastSection;
//佈局到目前為止的長度
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat loadHeight;

@end

@implementation ForeverGuardFlowLayout
