how to hide uicollectionview on a ViewController using swift

I have a simple ViewController which has a 2 buttons names "Files" and "Folders". Also i have placed two uiCollectionView.

When I tap "Files" button it should hide one of the uiCollectionView at runtime and when I tap "Folders" it should do same for other uiCollectionView. Is there any property or method to achieve the same.

how can i do this using swift ?

thanks

Solution

  • To hide:

    collectionView.hidden = true

    To show: 

    collectionView.hidden = false

    If you want to animate this, you can fade in and fade out.

    Fade out:

    self.collectionView.alpa = 1
UIView.animateWithDuration(1, {
    self.collectionView.alpha = 0
})

    Fade in:

    self.collectionView.alpa = 0
UIView.animateWithDuration(1, {
    self.collectionView.alpha = 1
})
