How to create multiple UIButtons positioned horizontally with Auto Layout? - ios

I am trying to create four buttons within UIViewBar positioned one by one with auto layout and also everybutiton having Imageview on right side arrow. Now I dont know how to achieve for all the iOS devices. It should change size and spaces based one device width. See below Image

Select all your buttons and click on 'pin' in the storyboard (it in the right bottom corner) like in the below image
add 'Leading', 'Tralling', 'Height', 'Equal width' constraints
and select 'Align' while selecting the all four button(left to the 'pin')
and add 'Vertically in container' constraint.
or else you can add 'Top constraint' instead of 'Vertically in container' constraint.
Hey I don't know this will help you or not. But lets give it a try.:)

Storyboard output not matching the simulation

Here is my desired output.
I've made sure that each view in my scroll view has been constrained and pinned equally to each side, as seen here.
However, when I run the simulation, the views are slightly off to the left.
Why is this happening?
EDIT: I listened to what you guys said and got rid of the defined widths and heights, but now I'm getting another error.
In that case, a recommend you to put everything stacked in a StackView.
you can do it selecting your views and after that click on that "embed in" icon, and select StackView
It will make easier to use manage left, right, top and bottom constraints.
After you click that probably all your views will get really close. And you will need to set spacing in the sidebar proprieties.
After that select your stacked view and add constraints to Landing, trailing, top, and bottom.
it will appear a red alert on your storyboard because you have not set the view's constraints relative to the stackedView, to do that, select all your views and click on Add Missing constraints at Select Views menu
don't forget to add Equal width and Equal height constraints
after you do everything your views will be the same for every iPhone

How to center TextField using Xcode constraints?

I am new to iOS and am trying to align these TextFields in iOS. Below is how I would like it to look on an iPhone 7.
However, on the iPhone 7 Plus, the TextField shifts to the left of the center, despite my constraints.
Why is this? I have a constraint that aligns them to the Center, as seen on the right part of the screenshot.
It is very simple!! Just follow below steps,
Open you .xib or .storyboard file
Select view you have to add constraint
Click on align button at the right - bottom corner
Set horizontally in container constraint 0
Then press add constraints button
You can add any constraints to any view by following these steps
You just have to seth trailing and leading space fixed means both left
and right indicators should be red as shown in the screenshot.
For more details see the screenshots:
It will remain fixed from left and right in all the screens.
in your case is important set the width constraint.
However you can use trailing and leading constraints, in this way you will not need to set a defined width for your textfield and the position is correct for all type of devices.
If you want design like this so you have to take UITableview then take UITextfield for every cell beacuse you use every cell as view so easily manage all textfield and constraint. And also easily scrolling if device is display small.

Xcode 6 and Constraints - Greyed out equal widths option

I am trying to use the constraints on xcode 6 with side-by-side objects but when I use the "add missing constraints" option, all of the elements resize properly except the side-by-side buttons where they stay the same size but one gets pushed out of the view.

And I think I need to use the "Equal heights" constraint but it is greyed out :(

Can anyone help?
You need to right-click drag from one of the objects to the other one to enable that option (It needs to know what heights should be equal)
You can also:
In the Xcode document outline use Shift or Command and click on the items you want to add the equal size constraint to.
Then click the Pin button.
You can now click the checkbox to add 'equal width' or 'equal height' constraints.

Xcode 6 Storyboard can't center

I have an issue trying to center an object in a storyboard. I've created a new "Single-view Application" project, entered a main.Storyboard and I'm trying to add a label to center of it. On a preview of this storyboard for 4-inch iPhone, the label isn't centered, even when I force storyboard to use 3.5, 4, or 4.7-inch iPhones. Adding constraints makes no difference. What am I doing wrong?
If you want to center the label vertically and horizontally, you can use Align option at the storyboard. On your storyboard's bottom right corner, there are four options and the first one is Align option, selecting it will give you to choose the alignment for your object as follows,
Here in the screenshot, you can see that I have selected two options if I want to center my object in both dimension. You can choose either one of them or both based on your requirements and press Add 2 constraints button and it will work consistently for any sized screen. However make sure to select the object you want to center before selecting the Align option.
Try using the reset to suggested constraints. It works quite well for simple layout. Otherwise, you just have to fine tune your constraints

Set fixed space between 2 views in Interface Builder

I am trying to learn to use layout constraints in interface builder but I am running across an issue...
I've got two views, one UILabel and one UIImageView, and I'd like a layout as follows:
the label should be centered in the superview
the imageview should be a set distance to the left of the label
Seems pretty simple, but I can't figure out how to impose a constraint for the second condition (the first is done automatically). Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!
Click on both views while holding the command key so they're both highlighted. Then click on the pin button in the bottom right hand corner of IB (the middle button). Select horizontal spacing and the constraint should now be added. You should be able to adjust it as needed from there.
