What's the best way of handling a UIPageControl that has so many dots they don't all fit on the screen

Question

I have a UIPageControl in my application that looks perfectly fine with around 10 pages (dots), it\'s possible however for the user to add many different views, and so the numbe

Answer 1

I had to implement UIPageControl under my horizontal collection view which had 30 items. So what i did to reduce the number of dots by fixing the number of dots and scroll in those dots only. Follow the code:

@IBOutlet var pageControl: UIPageControl!
var collectionDataList = [String]
let dotsCount = 5

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    if collectionDataList.count < dotsCount {
        self.pageControl.numberOfPages = collectionDataList.count
    } else {
        self.pageControl.numberOfPages = dotsCount
    } 
}

func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView)
{
   let pageWidth = scrollView.frame.width
   self.currentPage = Int((scrollView.contentOffset.x + pageWidth / 2) / pageWidth)
   self.pageControl.currentPage = self.currentPage % dotsCount

}
