Uicollectionview

[jb0502]

Does b4i include uicollectionview to design layouts like pinterest(multiple columns)?
So layout can automaticly arrange layout depending on the size of each cell.
Thanks in advance.

I think currently not. You can wait until it will be available or try to implement something like this with scrollview

Thanks Narek.
Is scrollview fast enough for 1000's of items as in pinterest?

UICollectionView is also based on a scrollview. The pros of the UICollectionView is that it reuse the blocks

So if I code the "reuse" part, it will be fine right!
Is it possible in B4i?

I think will be better to wait Erels answer. Maybe he is planning to publish CollectionView library soon.

Loading 1000 images will be too slow. You can use ScrollView or CustomListView and load the items when the user scrolls down. B4A example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ore-when-scroll-tot-bottom.35761/#post-210230

Note that it will not be simple with UICollection as well. As you will still need to manage the views recycling.
