UIDatePicker with .compact style doesn't respect content hugging priority - ios

I think that the new UIDatePicker (iOS 14+) with the .compact style doesn't work correctly with AutoLayout.
Making a simple layout with a UILabel and UIDatePicker where the UIDatePicker has higher content-hugging priority should result in a layout where the UILabel is being stretched if there is too much space available but that's not what happens.
That's the result that I get:
Here is sample code:
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {
private let label: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label.text = "Label"
label.backgroundColor = .yellow
return label
}()
private let datePicker: UIDatePicker = {
let datePicker = UIDatePicker()
datePicker.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
datePicker.preferredDatePickerStyle = .compact
return datePicker
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.addSubview(label)
view.addSubview(datePicker)
label.setContentHuggingPriority(.defaultLow, for: .horizontal)
datePicker.setContentHuggingPriority(.defaultLow + 1, for: .horizontal)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
label.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor, constant: 8),
label.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.leadingAnchor, constant: 8),
label.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: datePicker.bottomAnchor),
label.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: datePicker.leadingAnchor, constant: -8),
datePicker.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor, constant: 8),
datePicker.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.trailingAnchor, constant: -8)
])
}
}
Am I missing something? Is this a known issue?

Works fine for me. Set the label's horizontal content hugging priority to .defaultLow-1.

ios Swift: ScrollView with dynamic content programmatic layout

Need to create custom view, just 2 buttons and some content between. Problem is about create correct layout using scrollView and subviews with dynamic content.
For example, if there will be only one Label.
What is my mistake?
Now label isn't visible, and view looks like:
Here is code:
view inits this way:
let view = MyView(frame: .zero)
view.configure(with ...) //here configures label text
selv.view.addSubView(view)
public final class MyView: UIView {
private(set) var titleLabel: UILabel?
override public init(frame: CGRect) {
let closeButton = UIButton(type: .system)
closeButton.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
(button setup)
let scrollView = UIScrollView()
scrollView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
scrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false
scrollView.alwaysBounceVertical = false
let contentLayoutGuide = scrollView.contentLayoutGuide
let titleLabel = UILabel()
titleLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
(label's font and alignment setup)
let successButton = UIButton(type: .system)
successButton.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
(button setup)
super.init(frame: frame)
addSubview(closeButton)
addSubview(scrollView)
addSubview(successButton)
scrollView.addSubview(titleLabel)
self.textLabel = textLabel
let layoutGuide = UILayoutGuide()
addLayoutGuide(layoutGuide)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
layoutGuide.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalToSystemSpacingAfter: leadingAnchor, multiplier: 2),
trailingAnchor.constraint(equalToSystemSpacingAfter: layoutGuide.trailingAnchor, multiplier: 2),
layoutGuide.topAnchor.constraint(equalToSystemSpacingBelow: topAnchor, multiplier: 2),
bottomAnchor.constraint(equalToSystemSpacingBelow: layoutGuide.bottomAnchor, multiplier: 2),
closeButton.leadingAnchor.constraint(greaterThanOrEqualTo: layoutGuide.leadingAnchor),
layoutGuide.trailingAnchor.constraint(greaterThanOrEqualTo: closeButton.trailingAnchor),
closeButton.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: layoutGuide.centerXAnchor),
closeButton.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: layoutGuide.topAnchor),
closeButton.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 33),
scrollView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: closeButton.bottomAnchor),
scrollView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: layoutGuide.leadingAnchor),
scrollView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: layoutGuide.trailingAnchor),

layoutGuide.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: successButton.trailingAnchor),
successButton.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 48),
layoutGuide.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: successButton.bottomAnchor),
titleLabel.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: scrollView.topAnchor, constant: 16),
titleLabel.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: scrollView.leadingAnchor, constant: 16),

titleLabel.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: scrollView.bottomAnchor, constant: -16),
])
}

}
public func configure(with viewModel: someViewModel) {
titleLabel?.text = viewModel.title
}
}
If I'll add scrollView frameLayoutGuide height:
scrollView.frameLayoutGuide.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 150),
, then all looks as expected, but I need to resize this label and all MyView height depending on content.
A UIScrollView is designed to automatically allow scrolling when its content is larger than its frame.
By itself, a scroll view has NO intrinsic size. It doesn't matter how many subviews you add to it... if you don't do something to set its frame, its frame size will always be .zero.
If we want to get the scroll view's frame to grow in height based on its content we need to give it a height constraint when the content size changes.
If we want it to scroll when it has a lot of content, we also need to give it a maximum height.
So, if we want MyView height to be max of 1/2 the screen (view) height, we constrain its height (in the controller) like this:
myView.heightAnchor.constraint(lessThanOrEqualTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.heightAnchor, multiplier: 0.5)
and then constrain the scroll view height in MyView like this:
let svh = scrollView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: scrollView.contentSize.height)
svh.priority = .required - 1
svh.isActive = true
Here is a modification to your code - lots of comments in the code so you should be able to follow.
First, an example controller:
class MVTestVC: UIViewController {
let myView = MyView()
let sampleStrings: [String] = [
"Short string.",
"This is a longer string which should wrap onto a couple lines.",
"Now let's use a really, really long string. This will make the label taller, but still not enough to require vertical scrolling.",
"We want to see what happens when we DO need scrolling.\n\nSo, let's use a long string, with some embedded newlines.\n\nThis will make the label tall enough that it would exceed one-half the screen height, so we can see that we do, in fact, get vertical scrolling.",
]
var strIndex: Int = 0
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = .gray
myView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
view.addSubview(myView)
let g = view.safeAreaLayoutGuide
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
// 20-points on each side
myView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: g.leadingAnchor, constant: 20.0),
myView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: g.trailingAnchor, constant: -20.0),
// centered vertically
myView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: g.centerYAnchor),
// max 1/2 screen (view) height
myView.heightAnchor.constraint(lessThanOrEqualTo: g.heightAnchor, multiplier: 0.5),
])
myView.backgroundColor = .white
myView.configure(with: sampleStrings[0])
}
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
strIndex += 1
myView.configure(with: sampleStrings[strIndex % sampleStrings.count])
}
}
and the modified MyView class:
public final class MyView: UIView {
private let titleLabel = UILabel()
private let scrollView = UIScrollView()
// this will be used to set the scroll view height
private var svh: NSLayoutConstraint!
override public init(frame: CGRect) {

successButton.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0.9, alpha: 1.0)

])
layer.cornerRadius = 12
// so we can see the framing
scrollView.backgroundColor = .red
titleLabel.backgroundColor = .green
}
public override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
// we want to update the scroll view's height constraint when the text changes
if let c = svh {
c.isActive = false
}
// on initial layout, the scroll view's content size will still be zero
// so force another layout pass
if scrollView.contentSize.height == 0 {
scrollView.setNeedsLayout()
scrollView.layoutIfNeeded()
}
// constrain the scroll view's height to the height of its content
// but with a less-than-required priority so we can use a maximum height
svh = scrollView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: scrollView.contentSize.height)
svh.priority = .required - 1
svh.isActive = true
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
//public func configure(with viewModel: someViewModel) {

}
Each tap anywhere on the screen will cycle through a few sample strings to change the text in the label, giving us this:

Why ImageView has was wrong location when I use anchors programmatically?

everyone. I have problems with the collection view cell which I build programmatically using anchors.
Cell
private lazy var iconView: UIImageView = {
let image = UIImageView()
image.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
image.clipsToBounds = true
return image
}()
private lazy var label: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.numberOfLines = 2
label.font = NeoSansPro.regular.of(size: 12)
label.textAlignment = .center
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label.sizeToFit()
return label
}()
Config anchor
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
setupUI()
}
func setupUI() {
NSLayoutConstraint.activate( [
iconView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 32),
iconView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 32),
iconView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: centerXAnchor, constant: 0),
iconView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: centerYAnchor, constant: -16),
label.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: iconView.bottomAnchor, constant: 8),
label.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bottomAnchor, constant: 4),
label.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leadingAnchor, constant: 4),
label.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: trailingAnchor, constant: 4),
])
}
as the result 1 and 9 cells has wrong image location and label width biggest that cell width.
Add views first then add constraints it will work.
private lazy var iconView: UIImageView = {
let image = UIImageView()
image.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
image.image = UIImage(named: "1")
return image
}()
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
backView.layer.cornerRadius = 5
self.contentView.addSubview(iconView)
setUpView()
}
func setUpView() {
NSLayoutConstraint.activate( [
iconView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 40),
iconView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 40),
iconView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.contentView.centerXAnchor, constant: 0),
iconView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.contentView.centerYAnchor, constant: -16)
])
}

Align UIButton and UILabel text with different font sizes

I have a UIButton and a UILabel displayed inline. They have different size fonts, however I would like to align them so they appear on the same line.
At the moment the UILabel is slight above the baseline of the UIButton.
I was hoping to avoid manually setting a content offset as I want this to scale correctly where possible. I worry manual calculations may have unexpected side effects on changing font sizes etc.
I have created a playground that should show the 2 elements:
//: A UIKit based Playground for presenting user interface
import UIKit
import PlaygroundSupport
class MyViewController : UIViewController {
lazy var nameButton = configure(UIButton(type: .system), using: {
$0.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
$0.titleLabel?.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 18)
$0.setTitleColor(.darkGray, for: .normal)
$0.contentHorizontalAlignment = .leading
$0.setContentHuggingPriority(UILayoutPriority.defaultHigh, for: .horizontal)
$0.backgroundColor = .lightGray
$0.setTitle("This is a button", for: .normal)
})
lazy var publishedDateLabel = configure(UILabel(frame: .zero), using: {
$0.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
$0.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 14)
$0.textColor = .darkGray
$0.setContentHuggingPriority(UILayoutPriority.defaultLow, for: .horizontal)
$0.backgroundColor = .lightGray
$0.text = "and this is a label"
})
override func loadView() {
let view = UIView()
view.backgroundColor = .white
[nameButton, publishedDateLabel].forEach(view.addSubview(_:))
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
nameButton.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor),
nameButton.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor, constant: 8),
publishedDateLabel.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor),
publishedDateLabel.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: nameButton.trailingAnchor),
publishedDateLabel.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor, constant: -8)
])
self.view = view
}
// setup helper method
func configure<T>(_ value: T, using closure: (inout T) throws -> Void) rethrows -> T {
var value = value
try closure(&value)
return value
}
}
// Present the view controller in the Live View window
PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = MyViewController()
I have tried making the label and button the same height by adding publishedDateLabel.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: nameButton.heightAnchor)
This didn't change the alignment however.
I also tried using publishedDateLabel.lastBaselineAnchor.constraint(equalTo: nameButton.lastBaselineAnchor)
to align the anchors however this aligned the top of the elements
How can align the bottom of the text in the button to the bottom of the text in the label?
Just comment out the heightAnchor use the lastBaselineAnchor:
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
nameButton.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor),
nameButton.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor, constant: 8),
publishedDateLabel.lastBaselineAnchor.constraint(equalTo: nameButton.lastBaselineAnchor),
publishedDateLabel.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: nameButton.trailingAnchor),
publishedDateLabel.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor, constant: -8)
])

In Swift, programmatically creating UIView and adding controls to it and using auto layout, causes the controls to appear on the view's parent

I am trying to write a simple composite component for iOS in Swift 3. It consists of a UILabel followed by an UITextField laid out horizontally followed by a line under them. But What happens is the UILabel disappears, UITextField appears on the parent view and line also disappears.
My design in sketch
What it actually looks like in the Storyboard
My component's constraints in the view controller
My intention was to use Auto Layout, anchor the label to top and leading anchors of the view, anchor the textfield to top of the view and trailing anchor of the label with a constant, so they would appear side by side.
I did do a lot of research on this, one site that looked pretty close to what I wanted was https://www.raywenderlich.com/125718/coding-auto-layout, and I think I am following more or less the same approach.
I am doing something obviously wrong, but can't figure out what. Any help is much appreciated, I have been at this for a few days now.

You haven't got a series of constraints top to bottom, so auto layout can't determine the content size of your object. You have tried to set this via the initrinsicContentSize but you shouldn't need to do this.
You also need to set a horizontal hugging priority for your label to let auto layout know that you want the text field to expand:
I removed your override of intrinsicContentSize and changed your constraints to:
Constrain the bottom of the label to the top of the line
Constrain the bottom of the line to the bottom of the superview
Constrain the baseline of the label to the baseline of the text field
Remove the constraint between the top of the text field and the superview
Set the horizontal hugging priority of the label.
func setupConstraints() {
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
edit.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
line.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leadingAnchor, constant: 10).isActive = true
label.setContentHuggingPriority(.defaultHigh, for: .horizontal)
label.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor)
label.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: line.topAnchor, constant: -8).isActive = true
edit.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: label.trailingAnchor, constant: 10).isActive = true
edit.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.trailingAnchor, constant: -20).isActive = true
edit.firstBaselineAnchor.constraint(equalTo: label.firstBaselineAnchor).isActive = true
line.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 2.0).isActive = true
line.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.leadingAnchor, constant: 10).isActive = true
line.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.trailingAnchor, constant: -20).isActive = true
line.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: label.bottomAnchor, constant: 1.0).isActive = true
line.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bottomAnchor).isActive = true
}
I think it is pretty close to what you are after.

Using ScrollView Programmatically in Swift 3

I have searched other questions and seem to still have some trouble creating my scrollView programmatically with autolayout in swift 3. I am able to get my scrollview to show up as shown in the picture below, but when I scroll to the bottom my other label does not show up and the 'scroll top' label does not disappear.
Hoping someone can help review my code below!
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let labelOne: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "Scroll Top"
label.backgroundColor = .red
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return label
}()
let labelTwo: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "Scroll Bottom"
label.backgroundColor = .green
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return label
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let screensize: CGRect = UIScreen.main.bounds
let screenWidth = screensize.width
let screenHeight = screensize.height
var scrollView: UIScrollView!
scrollView = UIScrollView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 120, width: screenWidth, height: screenHeight))
scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: screenWidth, height: 2000)
scrollView.addSubview(labelOne)
scrollView.addSubview(labelTwo)
view.addSubview(labelOne)
view.addSubview(labelTwo)
view.addSubview(scrollView)
// Visual Format Constraints
view.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "H:|[v0]|", options: NSLayoutFormatOptions(), metrics: nil, views: ["v0": labelOne]))
view.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "V:|-100-[v0]", options: NSLayoutFormatOptions(), metrics: nil, views: ["v0": labelOne]))
// Using iOS 9 Constraints in order to place the label past the iPhone 7 view
view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: labelTwo, attribute: .top, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: labelOne, attribute: .bottom, multiplier: 1, constant: screenHeight + 200))
view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: labelTwo, attribute: .right, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: labelOne, attribute: .right, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: labelTwo, attribute: .left, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: labelOne, attribute: .left, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
}
}
It is easy to use constraints to define the scroll content size - so you don't have to do any manual calculations.
Just remember:
The content elements of your scroll view must have left / top / width / height values. In the case of objects such as labels, they have intrinsic sizes, so you only have to define the left & top.
The content elements of your scroll view also define the bounds of the scrollable area - the contentSize - but they do so with the bottom & right constraints.
Combining those two concepts, you see that you need a "continuous chain" with at least one element defining the top / left / bottom / right extents.
Here is a simple example, that will run directly in a Playground page:
import UIKit
import PlaygroundSupport
class TestViewController : UIViewController {
let labelOne: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "Scroll Top"
label.backgroundColor = .red
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return label
}()
let labelTwo: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "Scroll Bottom"
label.backgroundColor = .green
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return label
}()
let scrollView: UIScrollView = {
let v = UIScrollView()
v.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
v.backgroundColor = .cyan
return v
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// add the scroll view to self.view
self.view.addSubview(scrollView)
// constrain the scroll view to 8-pts on each side
scrollView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor, constant: 8.0).isActive = true
scrollView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor, constant: 8.0).isActive = true
scrollView.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor, constant: -8.0).isActive = true
scrollView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor, constant: -8.0).isActive = true
// add labelOne to the scroll view
scrollView.addSubview(labelOne)
// constrain labelOne to left & top with 16-pts padding
// this also defines the left & top of the scroll content
labelOne.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: scrollView.leadingAnchor, constant: 16.0).isActive = true
labelOne.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: scrollView.topAnchor, constant: 16.0).isActive = true
// add labelTwo to the scroll view
scrollView.addSubview(labelTwo)
// constrain labelTwo at 400-pts from the left
labelTwo.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: scrollView.leadingAnchor, constant: 400.0).isActive = true
// constrain labelTwo at 1000-pts from the top
labelTwo.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: scrollView.topAnchor, constant: 1000).isActive = true
// constrain labelTwo to right & bottom with 16-pts padding
labelTwo.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: scrollView.rightAnchor, constant: -16.0).isActive = true
labelTwo.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: scrollView.bottomAnchor, constant: -16.0).isActive = true
}
}
let vc = TestViewController()
vc.view.backgroundColor = .yellow
PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = vc
Edit - since this answer still gets occasional attention, I've updated the code to use more modern syntax, to respect the safe-area, and to use the scroll view's .contentLayoutGuide:
class TestViewController : UIViewController {
let labelOne: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "Scroll Top"
label.backgroundColor = .yellow
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return label
}()
let labelTwo: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "Scroll Bottom"
label.backgroundColor = .green
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return label
}()
let scrollView: UIScrollView = {
let v = UIScrollView()
v.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
v.backgroundColor = .cyan
return v
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// add the scroll view to self.view
self.view.addSubview(scrollView)
// add labelOne to the scroll view
scrollView.addSubview(labelOne)
// add labelTwo to the scroll view
scrollView.addSubview(labelTwo)
// always a good idea to respect safe area
let safeG = view.safeAreaLayoutGuide
// we want to constrain subviews to the scroll view's Content Layout Guide
let contentG = scrollView.contentLayoutGuide
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
// constrain the scroll view to safe area with 8-pts on each side
scrollView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: safeG.topAnchor, constant: 8.0),
scrollView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: safeG.leadingAnchor, constant: 8.0),
scrollView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: safeG.trailingAnchor, constant: -8.0),
scrollView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: safeG.bottomAnchor, constant: -8.0),
// constrain labelOne to leading & top of Content Layout Guide with 16-pts padding
// this also defines the left & top of the scroll content
labelOne.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentG.topAnchor, constant: 16.0),
labelOne.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentG.leadingAnchor, constant: 16.0),
// constrain labelTwo leading at 400-pts from labelOne trailing

// constrain labelTwo top at 1000-pts from the labelOne bottom
labelTwo.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: labelOne.bottomAnchor, constant: 1000),
// constrain labelTwo to trailing & bottom of Content Layout Guide with 16-pts padding
// this also defines the right & bottom of the scroll content
labelTwo.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentG.trailingAnchor, constant: -16.0),
labelTwo.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentG.bottomAnchor, constant: -16.0),
])
}
}
Two things.
1. Add the labels to scroll view, not your view
You want your label to scroll with scroll view, then you should not add it on your view. When running your code, you can scroll but the fixed label there is pinned to your view, not on your scroll view
2. Make sure you added your constraints correctly
Try it on your storyboard about what combination of constraint is enough for a view. At least 4 constraints are needed for a label.
Bottom line
Here is a modified version of your code. For constraint I added padding left, padding top, width and height and it works. My code is
let labelOne: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "Scroll Top"
label.backgroundColor = .red
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return label
}()
let labelTwo: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "Scroll Bottom"
label.backgroundColor = .green
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return label
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let screensize: CGRect = UIScreen.main.bounds
let screenWidth = screensize.width
let screenHeight = screensize.height
var scrollView: UIScrollView!
scrollView = UIScrollView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 120, width: screenWidth, height: screenHeight))
scrollView.addSubview(labelTwo)
NSLayoutConstraint(item: labelTwo, attribute: .leading, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: scrollView, attribute: .leadingMargin, multiplier: 1, constant: 10).isActive = true
NSLayoutConstraint(item: labelTwo, attribute: .width, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 200).isActive = true
NSLayoutConstraint(item: labelTwo, attribute: .top, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: scrollView, attribute: .topMargin, multiplier: 1, constant: 10).isActive = true
NSLayoutConstraint(item: labelTwo, attribute: .height, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 30).isActive = true
scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: screenWidth, height: 2000)
view.addSubview(scrollView)
}
And the scroll view looks like this
For me this work like charm

Copy and paste this controller in your project
class BaseScrollViewController: UIViewController {
lazy var contentViewSize = CGSize(width: self.view.frame.width, height: self.view.frame.height + 100)
lazy var scrollView: UIScrollView = {
let view = UIScrollView(frame: .zero)
view.backgroundColor = .white
view.frame = self.view.bounds
view.contentSize = contentViewSize
view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return view
}()
lazy var containerView: UIView = {
let v = UIView()
v.backgroundColor = .white
v.frame.size = contentViewSize
return v
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
view.backgroundColor = .white
view.addSubview(scrollView)
scrollView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true
scrollView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor).isActive = true
scrollView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor).isActive = true
scrollView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
scrollView.addSubview(containerView)
setupContainer(containerView)
super.viewDidLoad()
}
public func setupContainer(_ container: UIView) {
}
}
Usage for above code:
class ClientViewController: BaseScrollViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// do your stuff here
}
override func setupContainer(_ container: UIView) {
// add views here
}
}
These answers do not work with large titles in the navigation bar. Make sure you have the code below in your viewDidLoad() method of your view controller:
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = false
