UICollectionView didSelectItemAt not working

Question

I need an animation when a collection view cell is tapped. I wrote an override function for it. But UICollectionView didSelectItemAt is not working when I override touchesBegan on the custom cell.

ViewController

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    self.answersCollectionView.selectItem(at: indexPath, animated: true, scrollPosition: .centeredHorizontally)
    self.selectedIndex = indexPath.item
}

CustomCellClass

public override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5) {
        self.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 0.9, y: 0.9)
    }
}

public override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.1) {
        self.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1, y: 1)
    }
}

public override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.1) {
        self.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1, y: 1)
    }
}

I want to animate the selection.

Have you tried delaysContentTouches = false? developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiscrollview/… — TonyMkenu

2. In every method try to call "super"; for example in touchesBegan add: super.touchesBegan(touches, with: event) — TonyMkenu

Is answersCollectionView a different collection view? If not, you are calling .selectItem(at:... inside didSelectItemAt, which doesn't make any sense. — DonMag

You wrote "I need an animation when a collection view cell is tapped...". If this is the only requirement you have, I would do this instead:

Make sure your collection view allows selection like so: myCollectionView.allowsSelection = true

Add a function to your CustomCell like so:

 class CustomCellClass: UICollectionViewCell {
 //configure the cell as you normally would

     /// animates cell after a selection
     func animateSelection() {
         //please note that this is the most basic way of animating
         //there are multiple other ways. check out the provided link below in the post
         UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5) { 
             self.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 0.9, y: 0.9)
         } completion: { _ in
             UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.1) { 
                 self.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1, y: 1)
             }
         }
     }
 }

call this new function during didSelectItemAt callback.

 func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
     //you don't need to do this - the cell is already selected
     //self.answersCollectionView.selectItem(at: indexPath, animated: true, scrollPosition: .centeredHorizontally)

     if let selectedCell = collectionView.cellForItem(at: indexPath) as? CustomCellClass {
         selectedCell.animateSelection()
     }

     //do other things you need to do in order to react to cell selection
     ..
 }

Here is the exchange that you can reference to see other animation techniques.
