UICollectionView current visible cell index

by

indexPathsForVisibleItems might work for most situations, but sometimes it returns an array with more than one index path and it can be tricky figuring out the one you want. In those situations, you can do something like this:

CGRect visibleRect = (CGRect){.origin = self.collectionView.contentOffset, .size = self.collectionView.bounds.size};
CGPoint visiblePoint = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(visibleRect), CGRectGetMidY(visibleRect));
NSIndexPath *visibleIndexPath = [self.collectionView indexPathForItemAtPoint:visiblePoint];

This works especially well when each item in your collection view takes up the whole screen.

Swift version 

let visibleRect = CGRect(origin: collectionView.contentOffset, size: collectionView.bounds.size)
let visiblePoint = CGPoint(x: visibleRect.midX, y: visibleRect.midY)
let visibleIndexPath = collectionView.indexPathForItem(at: visiblePoint)
