This is my View Controller, in which I have set my collectionView and with its methods.
class HomeScreenViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegate { @IBOutlet weak var collectionViewOne: UICollectionView! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() collectionViewOne.register(UINib(nibName: "recomendedcell1", bundle: nil), forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "cell1") // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() { super.didReceiveMemoryWarning() // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated. } func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int { return 10 } func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell { let cell = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("recommendedcell1", owner: self, options: nil)?.first as! CustomCellOneCollectionViewCell return cell } this is my custom cell file
class CustomCellOneCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell { @IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView! override func awakeFromNib() { super.awakeFromNib() // Initialization code } }
I have also used code below, for cell declaration.
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "cell1", for: indexPath) as! CustomCellOneCollectionViewCell I have checked all connections, double-checked identifiers' names. my view controller is a part of tab-bar controller.
