ios - Change the image of a specific cell inside a UICollectionView -

i have 5x5 grid of cells in uicollectionview, each image set this:

- (uicollectionviewcell *)collectionview:(uicollectionview *)collectionview cellforitematindexpath:(nsindexpath *)indexpath { collectionviewcell *cell = (collectionviewcell *)[collectionview dequeuereusablecellwithreuseidentifier:@"circlecell" forindexpath:indexpath]; imagearray = [[nsmutablearray alloc]init]; (int i=1; i<=12; i++) { uiimage *imagetoadd = [uiimage imagenamed:[nsstring stringwithformat:@"%i", i]]; [imagearray addobject:imagetoadd]; } self.cellimageview = [[uiimageview alloc] initwithframe:[self getcirclesize]]; int = arc4random() % 12; [self.cellimageview setimage:[imagearray objectatindex:i]]; [cell addsubview:self.cellimageview]; cell.tag = i; homecoming cell; }

each image circle of random color - 1.png 12.png. detecting taps on specific cell, , getting it's color , position in collection view:

uicollectionviewcell *cell = [collectionview cellforitematindexpath:indexpath]; nsindexpath *indexpath = [collectionview indexpathforcell:cell]; self.firstcirclesection = indexpath.section; self.firstcirclerow = indexpath.row; self.firstcircleindex = (indexpath.section * 5) + (indexpath.row + 1); self.firstcirclenum = (int)cell.tag; //i have dictionary colors , keys, e.g 1 yellow, 2 blue, 3 red. line gets color: nsstring *dotcolor = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"colour: %@", [self.colordict objectforkey:[nsstring stringwithformat:@"%ld", self.firstcirclenum]]];

then sec circle tap of circle, calculating new color of each circle (a color in middle of 2 selected colors):

uicollectionviewcell *cell = [collectionview cellforitematindexpath:indexpath]; nsindexpath *indexpath = [collectionview indexpathforcell:cell]; self.secondcirclesection = indexpath.section; self.secondcirclerow = indexpath.row; self.secondcircleindex = (indexpath.section * 5) + (indexpath.row + 1); self.secondcirclenum = (int)cell.tag; nsstring *circlecolor = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"colour: %@", [self.colordict objectforkey:[nsstring stringwithformat:@"%ld", self.secondcirclenum]]]; nsinteger = (self.firstcirclenum + self.secondcirclenum)/2; nsstring *dotcolor = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"colour: %@", [self.colordict objectforkey:[nsstring stringwithformat:@"%ld", i]]]; // labels on view showing colors mix colorlabel2.text = circlecolor; positionlabel2.text = [nsstring stringwithformat: @"position: %ld", self.secondcircleindex]; mixedcolorlabel.text = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"new %@", dotcolor]; nsindexpath *indexpath2 = [nsindexpath indexpathforrow:self.firstcirclerow insection:self.firstcirclesection]; nsinteger thefirstcircleindex = (indexpath2.section * 5) + (indexpath2.row + 1); nsindexpath *indexpath3 = [nsindexpath indexpathforrow:self.secondcirclerow insection:self.secondcirclesection]; nsinteger thesecondcircleindex = (indexpath3.section * 5) + (indexpath3.row + 1); // reference 2 cells uicollectionviewcell *firstcircle = [collectionview dequeuereusablecellwithreuseidentifier:@"circlecell" forindexpath:indexpath2]; uicollectionviewcell *secondcircle = [collectionview dequeuereusablecellwithreuseidentifier:@"circlecell" forindexpath:indexpath3];

my question is, 1 time have done this, how can alter image of 2 cells - firstcircle , secondcircle? have property on custom collectionviewcell, cellimage, unable access with: firstcircle.cellimage. want alter image on both cells.

in cellforitematindexpath: method, creating new uiimageview, setting image array, , adding subview of cell. different cellimage property of cell. prepare this:

either: if have configured custom collectionviewcell in storyboard (i.e. added image view prototype cell, , hooked collectionviewcell's cellimage outlet), needn't add together uiimageview can use:

cell.cellimage.image = [imagearray objectatindex:i];

or: if it's not configured in storyboard (or collectionviewcell initialiser), maintain existing code, set cell.cellimage point imageview created:

cell.cellimage = self.cellimageview;

next: in other code (which assume in didselectitematindexpath?), next line tells compiler cells of base of operations uicollectionviewcell class:

uicollectionviewcell *cell = [collectionview cellforitematindexpath:indexpath];

but want compiler know these cells custom collectionviewcell class. amend line to:

collectionviewcell *cell = (collectionviewcell *)[collectionview cellforitematindexpath:indexpath];

(and elsewhere). done, compiler should allow utilize cellimage property without problem.

now, reference cells indexpath2 , indexpath3, don't utilize dequeuereusablecellwithidentifier: method, utilize cellforitematindexpath: (just in first line):

collectionviewcell *firstcircle = [collectionview cellforitematindexpath:indexpath2]; collectionviewcell *secondcircle = [collectionview cellforitematindexpath:indexpath3];

you can manipulate images firstcircle.cellimage.image etc.

also, there redundancy in code: these lines:

uicollectionviewcell *cell = [collectionview cellforitematindexpath:indexpath]; nsindexpath *indexpath = [collectionview indexpathforcell:cell];

you getting cell given indexpath, , getting indexpath cell - same. can delete sec of these lines. also, in code handles secondcircle, indexpath3 same indexpath, , secondcircle cell set @ start of code. use:

collectionviewcell *secondcircle = cell;

finally, cellforitematindexpath loads imagearray every time called - unnecessary. utilize different method load these images - perhaps viewdidload method.
