Is there any library for making a collection view like the one in IOS? I have an idea on how to implement it but, if it has already been done, I would appreciate a link or something.
We need more specific details to help Always give links and screenshots when possible.
Don’t make us look up collection view (UICollectionView)
ex: 
Answer: besides above, see widget example that comes with Corona SDK. You’re covered there.
There is nothing in the widget library like this. So, my question still stands, if anyone has already created a library for something like this, it would be much appreciated.
“There is nothing in the widget library like this.”
I see a tableView with some custom row drawing… 10 mins programming max…
Question, what do you expect? Framework to do absolutely everything for you?
Dam devs are so lazy these days…
Not true. I’ve made interfaces exactly like that using the widget library.

I wrote the above app and it incorporates the widget scroller and other standard corona objects to make a similar collection, but with the addition of horizontal scrollers in vertical scrollers.
I want to code but I don’t actually want to do any work so if I could just borrow all your hard work so I can do nothing that would be great…
Note: There are no frameworks that do all the heavy lifting for making pretty columns, etc.
You have to do that on your own, but that is the idea behind Corona. Basic parts must be combined to make complex ones.
Sorry if this isn’t what you were hoping for.
PS - There is (a plugin or module) out there that makes layout easier, but I don’t remember the name.
Hopefully another reader will. Try checking the plugins in marketplace for layout helper. That might get you rolling.
I know it can be done using existing widget objects, but by the way, what you made there is not a collection view, it’s some objects inside a scrollView. The collection view is basically a grid-based tableView.
That was really rude and uncalled for. I’m not lazy, I’m not trying to steal other people’s work or trying to get other people to do my work for me
1- I never asked how it could be done.
2- I never asked anyone to do it for me.
3- I simply asked if someone had already done so he can share so I could save some time and work, and focus on other things, like thousands of programmers do on daily basis ( ever heard of GitHub?!)
Advice to you, if you find a question is not interesting to you/stupid/etc. just ignore it and move on.
I actually managed to do it quickly using a scrollView that holds some buttons and positioned them using a nested for loop. And based on the number of columns the buttons get resized and positioned accordingly.
Thanks so much for the help.
Here’s me posting the requisite moderator “keep it civil” reminder. Nobody wins by throwing around accusations!
My solution to this probably would have been a TableView with the 3 images (or whatever) in each row. But sounds like the ScrollView solution worked out nicely as well.
Take care,
Brent
