Hi there I am currently trying to get the following Scene to scale correctly for any scene.
This is currently how it looks on a iPhone 7 Plus:
I managed to get it to scale the blue background correctly by adding the following constraints:
However, I don't know how to get the UIImageView, UITextField and UI Label to scale in the same way. I Want them to keep the same proportions as they have now on the iPhone 7 view. I have looked for youtube tutorials but none seem to show how to introduce a way to have these items scale as I want them to.
Any help is much appreciated, Thanks.
You can add constraints between UIImageViews, Labels, the window, etc. by holding control and clicking-and-dragging between two elements. For example,
UIImageView: add these constraints:
Vertical Spacing to Layout Guide (This constrains the top of the image to the top of the window)
Leading Space to Container Margin (Left side of image stays 'connected' to the left side of the window)
Trailing Space to Container Margin (Right side of image stays 'connected' to the right side of the window)
Vertical Spacing (vertical spacing between the image and the Label)
You can use this same idea to constrain the Label and Text Field to the left side of the window and to keep the vertical spacing between the UIImageView, Label, and Text Field consistent on all devices.

I am trying to create three containers (UI Views) as in the following example:
As you can see, in my case the TopContainer (the orange one) and the BottomContainer (the red one) have different dimensions. Also, I have a MiddleContainer (the white one) which is NOT located in the middle of the screen or in the center. In fact, the BottomContainer is a bit larger than the TopContainer.
Question: how can I keep them constrained no matter which phone my user has?
I tried to constraint the three components to the margins and between each others but it's not enough because, in that case, XCode argues that for each component the height and the width are ambiguous. Therefore I tried to maintain also the Aspect Ratio for all the three components and it seems to work, but with iPhone X (like iPhone XS) I get a ugly bottom line, so the bottomContainer doesn't fill the whole screen.
I know that there should be a "Bottom Space to" to set up for my BottomContainer in order to solve this issue but apparently I have it not, as you can see on the right side of the following screenshot:
Do you have an idea of what I am doing wrong? Do you have an alternative way to proceed?
I would solve it with a UIStackView with two UIView (orange and red). The UIStackView is set to distribute Fill Proportionally.
The orange view is the size of your orange view plus the size of the white view.
Then I'd add the white view as a child to the orange view and constrain it to the bottom of that view and with a fixed height.
To get rid of the bottom gap, set the bottom constraint to Superview instead of Safe Area.
See the screenshot for details:
As per your comment, I think this is what you can do!
Align the "middleComponent" to the center vertically, to its superview.
Set the height to it, as you want to have a fixes height there.
Then pin the "topComponent"'s bottom to the top of "middleComponent".
Pin the top of your "topComponent" to the top of the superview.
Pin the top of your "bottomComponent" to the bottom of the "middleComponent"
Pin the bottom of your "bottomComponent" to the bottom of your superview.
All these views will have have their left and right pinned to the superview's left and right.
Hope this helps
i am working on an iOS project and want my 2 views to be vertically aligned with respect to each other as shown in attached image.
There is an image view on left and a view on right side. The right side view contains some labels in it. I am using autolayouts and have properly applied constraints to image view (i.e. top/leading/height/width).
Now i want my right view to be center aligned (vertically) to thumbnail but when i do this, it asks for missing constraint y position. I don't know how to fix that (i can not add top/bottom constraint as my title label can have 1 or 2 lined text and the right side view will grow accordingly)
Is it possible to achieve this? if yes, then how? Thanks.
It's a tableView basically. Above image is for detailed description. Whereas, design should be like the following (right side view should be centered aligned to left side image)
I am having troubles with autolayout. I am trying to adjust UILabel and UIButton elements for iPhone 3.5 inches, 4 inches and 4.7 inches.
When I remove all constrains, it shows correctly on 4.7 inches, but then on 4 and 3.5 inches, elements reach the edge.
Is there a way to add something like padding on the main view, so that can be a limit for all elements inside the view?
Here is an image to explain better the problem that I am facing.
Thanks!
Go to each element and add following constraints as shown in screenshot.
The main idea here is to add trailing and leading space for each item you have on screen, so that it will maintain that much leading and trailing space for each screen screen size and will not reach edge for any screen size.
Use Auto-layout. In the interface builder, at the bottom right corner, there are 4 buttons. Click the third one (start counting from the left). At the top of the dialog, click the text boxes for the constraints and click "Use canvas value". Some values should appear. Add this for all four sides.
The view should now stay within edges of the screen. You might have to set some text wrapping or shrinking options to make the text become smaller to fit on screen.
Screenshots coming very soon... here as promised. Simply add the constraints and click "Add (4) constraints" at the bottom.
How would I go about creating a layout like this using autolayout?
The icon is UIImage, text is UILabel.
The label text can vary in width, but will always be single-line. How do I force the label to scale with the text horizontally and UIImage to be immediately to the left of the label?
I have tried using attributedText. I also tried views as containers and a horizontal stack view, but failed to get the result I wanted. What are the other options?
That should be absolutely no problem - just put in the image, make layout constraints to the left and top of the view, then add the label right to it, and make layout constraints between the right side of the image and the left side of the text.
To restrict the label width you can add a constraint from the right side of the label to the right side of the view, if you want to make the label as small as possible with a greater-than sign.
EDIT
If the whole should be bound to the right border of the superview, put both in a view, align the view to the right border of the superview, and make a constraint from the right side of the label to the right side of the view. The view will resize accordingly when the label resizes.
I went for a solution where I added a third view as the leftmost element in a horizontal stackview and set the stackview's distribution as 'equal centering'. It actually fit well with the rest of the planned layout (all elements are used efficiently). Thank you for your help guys.
I am trying to align all items to centre in Xcode as you can see here but the problem is it looks un aligned in the other views
I have tried to do this using constraints but these do not seem to make any difference after updating frames.
All I am trying to achieve is for everything shown to be centred across all devices.
Thanks.
You can simply pin them using the horizontal center in container constraint in Storyboard.
Select all your views and assign it here:
I aligned Horizontal and Vertical centre in container from the Editor -> Align menu and then added constraints using the constraints editor for Height and Size. I also setup some top constraints (using I bars in constraints editor) so the items below my image all lined up with it correctly.
