UIScrollView content insets for iPhoneX (safeAreaLayoutGuide) - ios

I have a UIScrollView that is constraint to view.topAnchor, so it scrolls up to the top edge of an iPhoneX. However, when I add content to the scrollView (such as a UIImage), and constraint it scrollView.topAnchor the content is inset to the safeAreaLayoutGuide. This seems to happen with scrollViews since if I take the content out and place it in the view, it also moves to the screen edge.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Try setting the view controller's automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets to false in viewDidLoad (self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false). From the documentation:
The default value of this property is true, which lets container view controllers
know that they should adjust the scroll view insets of this view controller’s
view to account for screen areas consumed by a status bar, search bar, navigation
bar, toolbar, or tab bar. Set this property to false if your view controller
implementation manages its own scroll view inset adjustments.
UPDATE:
As was mentioned, automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets is deprecated in iOS 11+. You can do a version check and to fix it for older versions of iOS as well. Example:
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
scrollView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never
} else {
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
}

Safe area insets change when hiding status bar iOS 11

In our app, we temporarily hide the status bar as part of the animation between transitioning between two screens that both need different status bar styles.
We have a percent driven animation transition which when started, hides the status bar with animation and when finish re shows the status bar.
On iOS 11 the safe area insets include the status bar height which can be variable, and when hidden the top inset of the safe area drops to 0 height.
This re-adjusts all our views and has a horrible jump between view sizes.
We still want to constrain our views to the safe area since we're trying to support iPhone X.
Can we temporarily disable the change to the safe area insets when hiding the status bar?
Constraints that are set to the safe area are affected by the status bar as well as the views actual location on the screen and its transform. If you always want to just apply the top (or bottom) safe area height to your view constraint, you can do this by use of a custom constraint instead.
The following constraint will automatically set its constant value to the height of the device's top safe area height, not affected by the status bar or other parameters. To use it, change the class of any constraint into this, and their constant will always be the safe area height. Note that it will not change its value when the device is rotated.
Objective-C
#interface TopSafeAreaContraint : NSLayoutConstraint
#end
#implementation TopSafeAreaContraint
- (void)awakeFromNib {
[super awakeFromNib];
if (#available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
UIEdgeInsets insets = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.safeAreaInsets;
self.constant = MAX(insets.top, 20.0);
} else {
// Pre-iOS 11.0
self.constant = 20.0;
}
}
#end
Swift
class TopSafeAreaConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint {
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
let insets = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.safeAreaInsets ?? .zero
self.constant = max(insets.top, 20)
} else {
// Pre-iOS 11.0
self.constant = 20.0
}
}
}
I've been experiencing a similar issue so I came up with a slightly different approach. This is not a direct answer to the problem. It is a workaround which worked in my case.
I had two different view controllers, both of which must have a navigation bar (but a navigation controller is not required). The 1st view controller is presenting the 2nd one in a modal fashion. The problem is that the 2nd view controller is landscape only, which means that on iPhones with edge-to-edge displays any overrides of prefersStatusBarHidden are ignored and the system always returns true (see here).
What I did was simulate the status bar height through a custom view, and then adjust the height constraint constant in viewDidLoad(_:).
I got no ugly navbar or view controller jumps after that.
Get a reference to the safe area top constraint and try changing the constant of that constraint to adjust for the hide/show of the status bar. This works for me, though in a somewhat different situation where I set the constraint constant within the prefersStatusBarHidden method in reaction to showing/hiding a toolbar.
Try add 2 constraints:
1) view - superview
2) view - safeArea
You generally want your scroll view to go under status bar (safe area) and simply adjust it's content inset, instead of laying out only inside the safe area. The adjustement is automatic for UIScrollView by default. See contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior.
If you have scroll view full view size (under safe area), hiding and showing status bar works perfectly for me, even though the safe area insets are being modified in the scroll view automatically.

View constraints change when UINavigation's Translucent is set to false

When setting UINavigationBar's Translucent property to false/ (unchecked in storyBoard). The constraints doesn't work as expected.
Functionality of the ViewController: Custom camera module displaying the camera preview on a UIView.
View Hierarchy
ViewController's View
PreviewView (UIView) for displaying camera preview.
The constraints between PreviewView & View are below.
When UINavigationBar is not Translucent
As you can see the constraints are set to equal width & height with the superview but the result is not the same. The screenshot is landscape/iPad but the result is same even on portrait.
When UINavigationBar is translucent
On the other hand when the UINavigationBar is translucent the constraints work fine.
Please check this Select View Controller -> IB Inspector -> (Extend Edges) -> Under Top Bars Please deselect this and try.
Didn't work for me either.
Changing the navbar to isTranslucent = true changes the view layout. If isTranslucent == false, the view origin.y is at 0.0 (at top of screen), but if isTranslucent == true, view origin.y is at (navbar height) meaning view starts below the navbar. View height is reduced accordingly.
Why is this happening?
My fix was to adjust layout code to accomdate this change, but it seems odd that a visual change would cause this behavior.

Scrollview Autolayout with Tabbar and Navigationbar

I need to set constraints in uiscrollview in viewcontroller containing navigationbar and tabbar.I have placed a uiview(contentView) inside scrollview which is of same height as of scrollview.These are the things which I have set curently,
set 4 constraints for scrollview(top,bottom,left,right) with
constraints to margin unchecked which is 0 for all edges.
set 4 constraints for uiview(contentView) inside
scrollview(top,bottom,left,right) with constraints to margin
unchecked which is 0 for all edges.
set equal width and equal height
for scrollview and UIView(contentView)
output is displaying like this uiview(contentView) gets placed lower about 64 px (approx).This view should not place like this.Can anyone help me to solve this.
Here is the project demo which I have worked and can be downloaded here
Select the scene and in the attributes inspector, uncheck: "Under Top Bars" and "Under Bottom Bars".
Then in the storyboard make the scroll view start at the very top of the View Controller, where the navigation bar starts, and then the UIView, where the navigation Bar ends.
Later, select the Scroll View and set the constraints as they come by default.
I guess it's not the cleanest way to do it but I had the same issue and worked for me.
You might try self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
The Tab Bar has to be set in the tree UNDER the scrollView, like this:
Try this
override func viewDidLoad() {
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge()
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = false
}
I have found the solution for it,The parent ViewController class is set to under top bar and disabling it and changed the frame accordingly in the parent and set the same property and frame to child viewcontroller fixed the issue.

iOS 7 Height of TableView increase Under TabBar

Im trying port my app to iOS7, but the height of my TableView increases in ios 7 while it is correct in ios 6. Due to which last row (cell) is almost half under the tab bar.
Im searching a lot for it, but i dont find any solution. Can anyone help me?
Have a look at iOS 7 UI Transition Guide
if ([self respondsToSelector:#selector(edgesForExtendedLayout)]) {
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
}
Use edgesForExtendedLayout to specify which edges of a view should be extended, regardless of bar translucency. By default, the value of this property is UIRectEdgeAll.
if ([self respondsToSelector:#selector(extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars)]) {
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = NO;
}
If your design uses opaque bars, refine edgesForExtendedLayout by also setting the extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars property to NO.
if ([self respondsToSelector:#selector(automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets)]) {
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;
}
If you don’t want a scroll view’s content insets to be automatically adjusted, set automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets to NO.
You can also set topLayoutGuide and bottomLayoutGuide. They indicate the location of the top or bottom bar edges in a view controller’s view. If bars should overlap the top or bottom of a view, you can use Interface Builder to position the view relative to the bar by creating constraints to the bottom of topLayoutGuide or to the top of bottomLayoutGuide.
Moreover, you can also make adjustments in Interface builder.
And if you are not using autolayout, you can set the deltas for iOS6/7.
Open Storyboard, in Utilities of your UIViewController open "Attributes inspector"
"Under Top Bars" is ticked?

iOS 7 TableView in a ViewController and NavigationBar blurred effect

I started building a TableView in my app by using a TableViewController in a storyboard. When you do this, you have a very cool effect when you scroll down your list : the cells moving behind the nav bar get blurred.
Some time later, I had to move from this TableViewController to a ViewController with a TableView inside (I had to add other views at the bottom of the table).
In order to avoid having the first cells hidden by the navigation bar (being over it), I added constraints to the Top and Bottom Layout Guides, and to the left and right edges of the view.
This works fine, but I lost the cool blurred scrolling effect : the cells seem to be disappearing before going behind the navigation bar.
I've seen workarounds with people not using constraints and putting magic numbers in interface builder. I cannot do this, first because I dislike it, and second because I have to be iOS 6 compatible.
What did I miss to be able to benefit again from the blurred navigation bar effect ?
You have to manually adjust the contentInset of the table view and make sure the table view frame origin is 0, 0.
In this way the table view will be below the navigation bar, but there will be some margin between the content and the scroll view edges (the content gets shifted down).
I advise you to use the topLayoutGuide property of the view controller to set the right contentInsets, instead of hard coding 64 (status bar + navigation bar).
There's also bottomLayoutGuide, which you should use in case of UITapBars.
Here is some sample code (viewDidLoad should be fine):
// Set edge insets
CGFloat topLayoutGuide = self.topLayoutGuide.length;
tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(topLayoutGuide, 0, 0, 0);
By the way, this properties of UIViewController might help you (you should not need to change their default values, but I don't know what your view hierarchy is):
automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets
edgesForExtendedLayout
extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars
The tableView needs to be full screen. That is underneath the top and bottom bars. Note don't use the top and bottom layout guides as they are used for positioning relative to the bars not underneath.
Then you need to manually set the content inset of the tableview. This sets the initial scroll position to under the top bar.
Something like:
CGSize statusBarSize = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame].size;
CGFloat h=MIN(statusBarSize.width, statusBarSize.height);
UIEdgeInsets e = UIEdgeInsetsMake(self.navigationController.navigationBar.bounds.size.height + h,
0.0f,
0.0f,
0.0f);
self.tableView.contentInset = e;
Not you get this functionality for free when using a tableView controller and the "Automatically Adjust content inset" settings
You probably have the coordinates of your tableView not set to (0, 0) to map to those of the viewController.view.frame or viewController.view.bounds. If you have done that, try setting
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
UIViewController property edgesForExtendedLayout does the trick. If you are using storyboards just make sure Extended Edges Under Top Bars is on (and it is by default).
If you are creating your view controller programmatically try this:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeAll;
}
And of course, your table view needs to have proper autoresizing mask/layout constraints
edgesForExtendedLayout is not what you want here, as this will limit the table view underneath the navigation bar. In iOS 7, the view controllers uses fullscreen by default, and the property controlling where the tableview content starts is automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets. This should be YES by default, so check if it is somehow set to NO, or try setting it explicitly.
