iOS Build a Photo Browser iPhone App Collection Views Implementing UICollectionViewController

Can i use a ViewController as a delegate/datasource for a CollectionVİew in it?

Hi,

I want to use a CollectionView inside my main ViewController instead of a CollectionViewController.

Step 1: Give the delegation and data sourcing duty of this CollectionView to my main ViewController.

Step 2: In implementation file of this ViewController, specify section and item counts and the cell id to reuse.

Step 3: Fill ind the cells.

Is this completely a wrong approach?

it is an acceptable approach! Usually if you wanted to separate the scene into half Collection View Controller and something else, or Table View Controller and something else, this was the way to go.

Thank you Michael. I had managed to do it and detailed the steps in this discussion here.
