I have a button on tap of which I need to show an image view which I did like below in button action
let imageName = "pointed_image.png"
let image = UIImage(named: imageName)
let imageView = UIImageView(image: image!)
self.addSubview(imageView)
Now i want to position that image on top of button such that bottom center of image lies exactly on top center of button. (Imagine a callout view how it displays in map where pin is the location(button in my scenario) and callout alert is the "starbucks callout" of location (image in my scenario) -
Pls advice how shall i modify the below code to meet the requirement
//Build image view
let imageName = "pointed_image.png"
let image = UIImage(named: imageName)
let imageView = UIImageView(image: image!)
//Get Button frame
let btnFrame = self.infoButton.frame
//position image on top of buttom
// CODE TO MODIFY BELOW
var imgFrame: CGRect = imageView.frame
imgFrame.origin.x = btnFrame.origin.x + 10
imgFrame.origin.y = btnFrame.origin.y - 10
imageView.frame = imgFrame
self.addSubview(imageView)
I would use imageView's center property to place it correctly:
// aligned by centers in x axis
imageView.center = CGPoint(x: self.infoButton.center.x,
// in y axis, using buttons origin and imageView's height placed right on top of the button
y: self.infoButton.frame.origin.y - (imageView.bounds.height / 2))
I have a label on a imageview and both of them are in one view. The label is pinch-able via below code. However, it is pinch-able also out of image view. I want the areas outside of the imageview not seen (like in whatsapp or snapchat. The texts outside of the screen is not seen, i want that for only imageview area). I'm not sure but i guess somehow it will be done with bring view to front function. Just i don't know how to do it
func handlePinch(recognizer: UIPinchGestureRecognizer) {
if let view = recognizer.view as? UILabel {
let pinchScale: CGFloat = recognizer.scale
view.transform = view.transform.scaledBy(x: pinchScale, y: pinchScale)
recognizer.scale = 1.0
}
}
I done it with creating views out of imageview (left, right upper and bottom side) and set all views to the front except the view which has imageview. I created the first three view in (left, right and the bottomside) in the storyboard and last one (the upper one) in the code because i needed to hide status bar first then create a view on top of it.
customView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 440, height: 20))
customView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
self.view.addSubview(customView)
self.view.bringSubview(toFront: view_main)
self.view.bringSubview(toFront: view2)
self.view.bringSubview(toFront: view3)
self.view.bringSubview(toFront: customView)
NavBar logo title is shifting to the left because of rightBarButtonItem. How can I set its X position center horizontally.
Try something like this
if let navBar = self.navigationController?.navigationBar {
let image = UIImageView()
image.image = UIImage(named: "Icon.png")
image.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50)
image.center = CGPoint(x: navBar.center.x, y: navBar.center.y-19)
navBar.addSubview(image)
}
Given that you used Storyboard:
If you view your warnings, Xcode should notify you that the Frame will be different at run time. Often, it can correct that for you automatically if you click on the yellow triangle and select "Update constraints automatically".
Let me know if that helps.
Problem visually:
I have tried putting the image in the center of its own frame with no luck. I have also tried to center it with playing the x of the CGRect with no luck either. I presume I can just put an empty icon with the same background as the navigation bar; however, I don't want to do it that way. I might have 2-3 icons on the right; then what?
let image = UIImage(named: "some_logo")!
let imageSize = CGSizeMake(60, 42)
let marginX: CGFloat = (self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.size.width / 2) - (imageSize.width / 2)
let imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: marginX, y: 0, width: imageSize.width, height: imageSize.height))
imageView.image = image
imageView.contentMode = .ScaleAspectFit
self.navigationItem.titleView = imageView
I prefer swift but obj-c solutions are welcomed as well.
Any pointers appreciated.
This app has nothing to do with KIA, it is just some logo I got off the google search, searching "some logo".
I have faced the same issue. Then i tried one code shown below.
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
let imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 150, height: 40))
imageView.contentMode = .ScaleAspectFit
let image = UIImage(named: "googlePlus")
imageView.image = image
navigationItem.titleView = imageView
}
This Code working fine when i tested with Left & Right Bar Button.
But in my previous code there is no Right Bar Button.
So the image is moving towards right.
For solving this i created a Right Bar Button & change the Tint color to clear color.
So everything seems to be working fine. This is one Temporary Solution for your problem.
The easiest way of doing this is in Interface Builder.
Simply drag a 'NavigationItem' from the object library and place it into your ViewController, then place a UIView where the title goes (ensure you set the background to 'clear')
Then place a UIImageView into that view and set the image in the Attributes Inspector to your required image. Scale your UIImage accordingly and set your your constraints accordingly.
I created an extension for solving this problem using the hint of #idrougge.
In order to center the title view image no matter what buttons you have, a content view is set as title view, then the image view is added as child of the content view. Finally, using constraints the image view is aligned inside its parent (content view).
import UIKit
extension UIViewController {
func addLogoToNavigationBarItem() {
let imageView = UIImageView()
imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
imageView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: <your_height>).isActive = true
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
imageView.image = <your_image>
//imageView.backgroundColor = .lightGray
// In order to center the title view image no matter what buttons there are, do not set the
// image view as title view, because it doesn't work. If there is only one button, the image
// will not be aligned. Instead, a content view is set as title view, then the image view is
// added as child of the content view. Finally, using constraints the image view is aligned
// inside its parent.
let contentView = UIView()
self.navigationItem.titleView = contentView
self.navigationItem.titleView?.addSubview(imageView)
imageView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
imageView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
}
}
I hope this helps someone,

As question heading stated "Swift / Obj-C" so I am sharing code of Obj-C :
UIImageView *titleImage = (UIImageView *)self.navigationItem.titleView;
titleImage = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake((self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.width/2) - (100/2), 0, 100,self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height)];
//setting the image for UIImageView
titleImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"someLogo"];
titleImage.contentMode = UIViewContentModeCenter;
self.navigationItem.titleView = titleImage;
Had same issue on phones with smaller sizes. Image in title was moving to right. Causing this issue back button -> [back_button][title_view]. Its centered when there is no back button or there is right bar button. Richard Hope's was right, you just need to put UIView first, and then put UIImageView as subview. Programmatically could be done like this.
private var imageView: UIView {
let bannerWidth = navigationBar.frame.size.width * 0.5 // 0.5 its multiplier to get correct image width
let bannerHeight = navigationBar.frame.size.height
let view = UIView()
view.backgroundColor = .clear
view.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: bannerWidth, height: bannerHeight)
let image = UIImage(named: "your_image_name")
let imageView = UIImageView(image: image)
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
imageView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height: view.frame.height)
view.addSubview(imageView)
return view
}
The just change titleView
navigationItem.titleView = imageView
What about setting the center of your image equals to the navigationBar.center instead of setting a margin?
//assuming we already have our navigationController
let myNicelLogoWidth = 100
let myNiceLogoHeight = 50
//start positioning your logo at 0.0, 0.0
let imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: myNicelLogoWidth, height: myNiceLogoHeight))
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
imageView.center = navigationBar.center //the put your image at the center
let image = UIImage(named: "myNiceLogoImage")
imageView.image = image
navigationItem.titleView = imageView
I once face with this problem, and finally i found out that the problem is the previous navigation bar title still located next to burger button, but it's invisible.
Fast solution but not sure if it's the best is to change the previous navigation bar title to empty string before show the next view controller.
Hope it's help.
I am trying to create a grey space between the header view (with the two buttons) and the dynamic tableview as shown here:
This is what I was able to create so far:
Now there is a line between the header view and the dynamic table view. However, I would like to have a grey space as shown in the picture above. I tried using Grouped instead of Plain. And I hypothesize that this is a way to achieve my goal because it does add grey to my view like so but only at the bottom:
So I figured if I can add some padding unto my headerview, that cause the grey to show since I think the background is grey now. So I tried writing some code:
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
let headerView = taskListTableView.tableHeaderView
headerView!.setNeedsLayout()
headerView!.layoutIfNeeded()
let cGPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 0.0)
let cGHeight = CGSize.init(width: 0, height: 10)
var frame = headerView!.frame
headerView!.bounds = CGRect(origin: cGpoint, size: cGHeight)
frame.size.height = CGFloat(30.0)
headerView!.frame = frame
taskListTableView.tableHeaderView = headerView
}
But this code is won't compile. Am I on the right track? What else could I do to achieve this effect?
