UICollectionVIew without using the storyboard?

Question

I read through these tutorials on UICollectionView:

http://blogs.captechconsulting.com/blog/paul-dakessian/ios-6-tutorial-getting-started-collection-views

http://invasivecode.tumblr.com/post/34581461219/an-introduction-to-collection-views.

I know it's easy to use the CollectionView in storyboard, but I want to use the UICollectionView with a xib instead of a storyboard.

Thanks in advance.

So... do you want to create one in code or do you want to create one in a XIB? — Stavash, May 25 '13 at 06:47

Can you include some code? How far are you getting? Is the problem just in populating the cells, or do you not even see cells? — jrturton, May 25 '13 at 06:53

I'll give you a plus one, although in general "link only" answers (without much further detail or elaboration) are not encouraged here. – Michael Dautermann May 25 '13 at 06:58

A XIB file usually contains exactly one view controller (and many objects as part of that view controller).

And a storyboard is (for all intents and purposes) essentially a collection of XIB files all strung together by segues, so you can follow the flow.

What you really want to do here is simply substitute the word "XIB" for the word "Storyboard" in pretty much any tutorial you're looking at, keeping in mind that without a storyboard, you won't be using segues to get from view controller to the next view controller.

And here's a UICollectionView tutorial that you can refer to, which happens to talk about xib files, to boot. I hope this info helps you out!
