Creating a grid view on iOS

Question

UICollectionView is available in iOS 6.0 and later, so it can't be used if you want to support earlier versions.

There are quite a open-source libraries that let you create grid views:

• KKGridView
• UIGridView
• AQGridView
• NRGridView
• MMGridView
• WCGridView

I am currently using AQGridView, and I've found it to be the most robust. It works just like a UITableView. Evadne Wu created a video and sample project showing how to use it.

Also, if you're trying to do this without using Interface Builder, keep in mind that it'll be a bit more difficult since you have to create the views programmatically.
