iOS Calendar Events View representation

Question

What would be the best approach to implement the Calendar Events as shown below [iOS 8.3]:

The underlying view is a UITableView for sure. But how can I overlap different views as we have it here? Also is it possible for a view to overlap between different UITableViewCell?

And the touch events on these event views are flawless.

Any suggestions/lead are much appreciated.

Answer 1

This is not a table view, it's his father a collection view.
Collection views are more abstracted and require more implementations, using a custom flow layout you can do amazing things.
More info in the official Apple documentation and for that kind of calendar view there is an awesome article on objectivec.io
