Im having trouble setting a programmatically allocated UILabel to be centered in my NavigationItem's titleView. Im even setting the NSAlignment to be NSAlignmentCenter. Here's an image of what it looks like:
As you can see.. I have no right UIBarButtonItem in use, but this shouldn't be keeping the text from being centered? Here's the code, in the viewDidLoad:
//Set the title of navBar----------
UILabel *navTitleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 40)]; //0 0 320 10
navTitleLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
navTitleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
navTitleLabel.textColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
navTitleLabel.text = #"IMG";
[navTitleLabel setFont: [UIFont fontWithName:#"BullettoKilla" size:16]];
self.navigationItem.titleView = navTitleLabel;
What am I doing wrong?
As pointed out by 0yeoj you have set the item width to 320. Try something smaller.
Try this
UILabel *navTitleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 40)];

I have navigation bar with custom view on it. UIImageView and UILabel are subviews of titleView. And I add UITapGestureRecognizer to titleView to make it show another UIViewController when the user taps on it. When you tap on titleView other UIViewController opens. But when you click on back button in my titleView size of UIImageView changes. Here is the code
UIView *titleView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 30)];
UILabel *title = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width/2, 30)];
title.text = _groupName;
[title setTextColor:[self colorFromHexString:#"#474747"]];
[title setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Roboto-Bold" size:16]];
[title setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];
[title setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
_imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30);
_imageView.layer.cornerRadius = 15.0;
_imageView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
_imageView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor;
_imageView.layer.borderWidth = 0.1;
_imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
title.frame = CGRectMake(title.frame.origin.x+20, title.frame.origin.y, self.view.frame.size.width/2, 30);
UITapGestureRecognizer *recognizer;
recognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:#selector(titleTapped:)];
titleView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[titleView addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
[titleView addSubview:title];
[titleView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[titleView addSubview:_imageView];
self.navigationItem.titleView = titleView;
Here are the images where you can see the changes
I check your code Add clips to bounds and do not need to title frame two times.
_imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30);
_imageView.layer.cornerRadius = 15.0;
_imageView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
_imageView.clipsToBounds = true;
Rather than setting the frame of the views directly, you might try using Auto Layout; I suspect what's happening is that your custom view is getting re-layed-out after the back button, and it's reverting to the image view's instrinsicSize.
What you could do instead is turn off translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints on the subviews, and then add constraints to position them, and finally add width and height constraints to the image view.
Using Auto Layout is also recommended if you ever intend to internationalize your app -- if you set up your constraints correctly, then the translated title will fit and you won't have to ever play around with hardcoded values.
The scrollable label works fine, but for some reason I cant get the text in the UILabel to center in the UIScrollView, it always stays left aligned. Here is an image of what I am talking about, and my code. (P.S. the UILabel is a subview of the UIScrollView, and the UIScrollView is a subview of the UITableViewCell.
scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(cell.frame.size.width/21.5, 25, cell.frame.size.width - 40 , 20)];
scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
[cell addSubview:scrollView];
scrollLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, scrollView.frame.size.width, 20)];
scrollLabel.text = secondaryLabel.text;
scrollLabel.font = secondaryLabel.font;
scrollLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
scrollLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
scrollLabel.numberOfLines = 1;
scrollLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
[scrollLabel sizeToFit];
[scrollView addSubview:scrollLabel];
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(scrollLabel.frame.size.width, 20);
I think the code you written for UILabel is pretty much right and the center TextAlignment is there but the problem is you need to pass the right X & Y for UILabel Frame's. For now they are getting set to 0-0 and are adding on the Scrollview's starting frame. This might can solve your problem.
I am facing a really strange issue:
I am instantiating multiple UIImageView inside a for loop with the method CGRectMake, the y origin I am giving seems to be totally wrong on the screen:
Here is my code:
- (void)makeTheView
{
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
UIScrollView *header = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 64, self.view.frame.size.width, 100)];
header.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:254/255.0f green:255/255.0f blue:213/255.0f alpha:1.0f];
[self.view addSubview:header];
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
UIImageView *avatar = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5 + i * 75, 5, 70, 70)];
avatar.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"bo_pic_baby5.jpg"];
[avatar.layer setCornerRadius:8.0];
avatar.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
NSLog(#"%f", avatar.frame.origin.y);
UILabel *title = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 50, avatar.frame.size.width, 20)];
title.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:148/255.0f green:148/255.0f blue:148/255.0f alpha:0.5f];
title.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:15];
title.text = #"崔健";
title.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
title.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[avatar addSubview:title];
[header addSubview:avatar];
}
}
According to this code avatar is within header at 5px from the top of header.
But the following is what I obtain visually:
note: when the white area begin, the header view stopped
This is not a real issue since I can reevaluate my frames like this :
CGRectMake(5 + i * 75, - 20, 70, 70)
but it looks really weird, and I am quite sure I am missing something totally trivial here...
I think this will be fixed by:
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;
Since iOS 7, view controllers automatically adjust scroll view insets so that the scroll view content is not hidden behind the navigation bar because it expects scroll views to start at the top of the screen.
However, the usual solution is to just set the scrollview frame.origin.y to 0.
Your Code is Absolutely Correct , As you are Adding the scrollview on (0,64) Position , So 64 will be count from Bottom of the Navigation Bar, If you want it on top (Just Below the Navigation bar), Change this declaration to as below :
UIScrollView *header = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 100)];
I'm trying to have two UILabels in my navigation bar instead of just one.
I followed this link to have informations on how to do that:
iPhone Title and Subtitle in Navigation Bar
It works well, but I can't get my texts to be centered properly.
It is centered between the buttons, but the default title behaviour is to center itself right under the time.
I had a look here, same question, but no answer:
UINavigationBar TitleView with subtitle
What am I missing?
Here is my code:
CGRect headerTitleSubtitleFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 44);
UIView* _headerTitleSubtitleView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:headerTitleSubtitleFrame];
_headerTitleSubtitleView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
_headerTitleSubtitleView.autoresizesSubviews = NO;
CGRect titleFrame = CGRectMake(0, 2, 200, 24);
UILabel *titleView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:titleFrame];
titleView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
titleView.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20];
titleView.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
titleView.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
titleView.shadowColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
titleView.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, -1);
titleView.text = #"Title";
titleView.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;
[_headerTitleSubtitleView addSubview:titleView];
CGRect subtitleFrame = CGRectMake(0, 24, 200, 44-24);
UILabel *subtitleView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:subtitleFrame];
subtitleView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
subtitleView.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:13];
subtitleView.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
subtitleView.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
subtitleView.shadowColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
subtitleView.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, -1);
subtitleView.text = #"Subtitle";
subtitleView.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;
[_headerTitleSubtitleView addSubview:subtitleView];
self.navigationItem.titleView = _headerTitleSubtitleView;
You should adjust the width of both frames. It should be below 200. try this.
CGRect titleFrame = CGRectMake(0, 2, 160, 24);
CGRect subtitleFrame = CGRectMake(0, 24, 160, 44-24);
Edit : Your backbutton on the left is wider, and the titleview is shifted to the right.
Please look the image with width 200px
And the image with width 160px
I suggest you to adjust the width of titleview and label accordingly.
If you want to know more about backbutton width, then please refer the discussion here.

It's elegant.
In my UINavigationBar I have a multi line title, I am using the following the code to setup:
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 50)];
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.numberOfLines = 2;
label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize: 15.0f];
label.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0 alpha:0.5];
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
label.text = #"Headloss due to Friction (Hazen Williams Eq.)";
self.navigationItem.titleView = label;
Since this is on a sub-view it has a "Back" button, added by the UINavigationController. So I figured that by adding the label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter; my title would be centered, but it's actually centering my title from the end of my "Back" button to the end of my screen.
How can I override this so that my title is actually centered based on my screen dimension, (basically, the way it would be by default should the back button not be present).
Good question that's pretty tough. If I find a more elegant solution I'll edit my answer but this is what I came up with:
UIView *spaceView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 20)];
UIBarButtonItem *space = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:spaceView];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [NSArray arrayWithObject:space];
And just adjust the width of the UIView for how far you want your titleLabel to move.
