Is there a way to add subviews of a UICollectionViewCell to a contentView via xib? Because I think this is the right way to do so right? I think when I drag and drop UI via xib then it is dropped into the view instead of the contentView
When you drag and drop any Views into UICollectionViewCell XIB, you're dragging to cell.contentView, not cell.view.
Please check in didSelect, you will see all subviews
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
MyCell *cell = (MyCell*)[collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSArray *views = [cell.contentView subviews];
NSLog(@"Select %@",views);
}
