At a loss for what I am doing wrong, here is my custom UIButton:
import UIKit
class IteratorChevronButton: UIButton {
required init() {
super.init(frame: .zero)
self.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "icon-chevron-right"), for: .normal)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
}
Usage of IteratorChevronButton in a UIView class:
var btnNext: IteratorChevronButton {
let btn = IteratorChevronButton()
btn.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return btn
}
func doInit() {
self.addSubview(btnNext)
self.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: btnNext, attribute: .width, relatedBy: .equal,
toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 128))
self.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: btnNext, attribute: .height, relatedBy: .equal,
toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 128))
self.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: btnNext, attribute: .centerY, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: self, attribute: .centerY, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 0))
self.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: btnNext, attribute: .trailing, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: self, attribute: .trailing, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 10))
}
I am getting the following error:
I tried to make btnNext lazy but I get the following error:

I guess error is due to this (your btnNext is not being made properly):
var btnNext: IteratorChevronButton {
let btn = IteratorChevronButton()
btn.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return btn
}
use this syntax to make btnNext
var btnNext: IteratorChevronButton = {
let btn = IteratorChevronButton()
btn.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return btn
}()
You instantiate a new button every time you access btnNext. So after adding one instance as a subview you use other instances for creating the constraints. Since those other subviews are no subviews of self the app crashes.
Make it a lazy var to instantiate it only once:
lazy var btnNext: IteratorChevronButton = {
let btn = IteratorChevronButton()
btn.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return btn
}()
You also have to add the width and height constraint to the button itself instead of self:
btnNext.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: btnNext, attribute: .width, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 128))
btnNext.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: btnNext, attribute: .height, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 128))
Update:
As Ahmad F stated the lazy keyword is totally optional in this case. You could simply instantiate your button without it if you will definitely use it:
var btnNext: IteratorChevronButton = {
let btn = IteratorChevronButton()
btn.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return btn
}()
Im creating chat part of application and i have problem with keyboard animation when user is draging scrollview up and down. I am using keyboardDismissMode = .Interactive and i cant find notification working with it.
This is defaul state. Here i have UIView() user as container for Textview and Button.
and this is my problem when user just slowly scrolling down through the keyboard. I need to move with containerView when keyboard start moving.
I tried UIkeyboardwillChangeFrame but it didnt notificate.
he re sample of my code that i believe is usefull for you.

If I understand your question correctly, I think what you probably want here is to make your _containerView an inputAccessoryView as described in the Apple docs here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/StringsTextFonts/Conceptual/TextAndWebiPhoneOS/InputViews/InputViews.html
Once you implement this, you'll get the keyboard behavior you describe because your view will be "attached" to the keyboard.

Xcode 7 Swift 2 impossible to instantiate UIViewController subclass of generic UITableViewController
(2 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a generic UIViewController subclass that expects a type that is a subclass of UIView and also implements a specific protocol. I have a subclass of that generic UIViewController subclass. I have a view controller in a story board with it's type set to MyKeyboardAwareScrollViewController (the subclass of the generic UIViewController subclass). When I run my program I get a message:
Unknown class _TtC19ExploreCodeCoverage35MyKeyboardAwareScrollViewController in Interface Builder file.
Any ideas why/how to fix?
A protocol:
protocol MyProtocol{
func widgets() -> Void
func activeView() -> UIView?
}
A Generic View Controller Subclass (that requires a type that is a UIView implementing the protocol MyProtocol):
class KeyboardAwareScrollViewController<T:UIView where T:MyProtocol>: UIViewController {
private let titleView: UIView
private let contentView: T
private weak var scrollView: UIScrollView?
private weak var titleViewContainer: UIView?
init(titleView:UIView, contentView: T){
self.titleView = titleView
self.contentView = contentView
super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {

Answer is here: Xcode 7 Swift 2 impossible to instantiate UIViewController subclass of generic UITableViewController
TLDR; Objective-c and InterfaceBuilder can't "see" generic swift classes.
I need to scroll data inside UITextfield so that the text of longer width can be seen by scrolling.
Can someone reply me to solve this?
You can use UITextView: Try below one.
UITextView *textView=[[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 40, 200, 70)];
textView.font=[UIFont systemFontOfSize:18.0];
textView.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
textView.backgroundColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
textView.scrollEnabled=YES;
textView.delegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:textView];
I add the textField on a UIScrollView, and change the contentSize when the length of the text changed, and scroll the scrollView when the cursor's position changed or selection range changed.
I have made a demo:

case leftAndBack = 0
case leftAndForward
case rightAndBack
case rightAndForward
case none
}

or you can have a preview on my github: https://github.com/sunshuyao/ScrollableTextField
You can do it by this way.
UITextView *textField = [[UITextView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 60, 50)];

I currently have a UIAlertController being displayed on the screen. The view of the alert should only display 2 elements, a title and a UIActivityIndicatorView in the center of the alert. Below is the function that displays the alert and its elements.
func displaySignUpPendingAlert() -> UIAlertController {
//Create the UIAlertController
let pending = UIAlertController(title: "Creating New User", message: nil, preferredStyle: .Alert)
//Create the activity indicator to display in it.
let indicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(frame: CGRectMake(pending.view.frame.width / 2.0, pending.view.frame.height / 2.0, 20.0, 20.0))
indicator.center = CGPointMake(pending.view.frame.width / 2.0, pending.view.frame.height / 2.0)
//Add the activity indicator to the alert's view
pending.view.addSubview(indicator)
//Start animating
indicator.startAnimating()
self.presentViewController(pending, animated: true, completion: nil)
return pending
}
However, the activity indicator doesn't display in the center of the view, in fact it displays in the bottom right of the screen, far off of the view. What is the reason for this?
EDIT: I understand that I can hardcode numbers for the indicator's position, but I want the alert to work on multiple devices with multiple screen sizes and orientations.
Be sure to set the frame property when you're creating a view.
func displaySignUpPendingAlert() -> UIAlertController {
//create an alert controller
let pending = UIAlertController(title: "Creating New User", message: nil, preferredStyle: .Alert)
//create an activity indicator
let indicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(frame: pending.view.bounds)
indicator.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
//add the activity indicator as a subview of the alert controller's view
pending.view.addSubview(indicator)
indicator.isUserInteractionEnabled = false // required otherwise if there buttons in the UIAlertController you will not be able to press them
indicator.startAnimating()
self.presentViewController(pending, animated: true, completion: nil)
return pending
}
To #62Shark:
let pending = UIAlertController(title: "Creating New User", message: nil, preferredStyle: .Alert)
let indicator = UIActivityIndicatorView()
indicator.setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints(false)
pending.view.addSubview(indicator)
let views = ["pending" : pending.view, "indicator" : indicator]
var constraints = NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat("V:[indicator]-(-50)-|", options: nil, metrics: nil, views: views)
constraints += NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat("H:|[indicator]|", options: nil, metrics: nil, views: views)
pending.view.addConstraints(constraints)
indicator.userInteractionEnabled = false
indicator.startAnimating()
self.presentViewController(pending, animated: true, completion: nil)
I converted the answer to Objective C, if anyone is interested:
UIAlertController *pending = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:nil
message:#"Please wait...\n\n"
preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
UIActivityIndicatorView* indicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge];
indicator.color = [UIColor blackColor];
indicator.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints=NO;
[pending.view addSubview:indicator];
NSDictionary * views = #{#"pending" : pending.view, #"indicator" : indicator};
NSArray * constraintsVertical = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:#"V:[indicator]-(20)-|" options:0 metrics:nil views:views];
NSArray * constraintsHorizontal = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:#"H:|[indicator]|" options:0 metrics:nil views:views];
NSArray * constraints = [constraintsVertical arrayByAddingObjectsFromArray:constraintsHorizontal];
[pending.view addConstraints:constraints];
[indicator setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];
[indicator startAnimating];
[self presentViewController:pending animated:YES completion:nil];
Cheers
tl;dr
All the other answers are off :) See documentation:
Important
The UIAlertController class is intended to be used as-is and does not
support subclassing. The view hierarchy for this class is private and
must not be modified.
Problem
The problem is not the UIAlertController. This is a very simple UI, a stackview or two depending if you want the UIActivityIndicatorView left to the title label or under the title. The presentation animation is what we want.
The code below is based on the WWDC session A Look Inside Presentation Controllers.
Swift
Recreate Presentation Controller:
class LOActivityAlertControllerPresentationController: UIPresentationController {
var dimmerView: UIView!
override init(presentedViewController: UIViewController, presenting presentingViewController: UIViewController?) {
self.dimmerView = UIView()
super.init(presentedViewController: presentedViewController, presenting: presentingViewController)

dimmerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(white: 0, alpha: 0.4)
guard let presentedView = self.presentedView else { return }
presentedView.layer.cornerRadius = 8.0
let centerXMotionEffect: UIInterpolatingMotionEffect = UIInterpolatingMotionEffect(keyPath: "center.x", type: .tiltAlongHorizontalAxis)
centerXMotionEffect.minimumRelativeValue = -10.0
centerXMotionEffect.maximumRelativeValue = 10.0
let centerYMotionEffect: UIInterpolatingMotionEffect = UIInterpolatingMotionEffect(keyPath: "center.y", type: .tiltAlongVerticalAxis)
centerYMotionEffect.minimumRelativeValue = -10.0
centerYMotionEffect.maximumRelativeValue = 10.0
let group: UIMotionEffectGroup = UIMotionEffectGroup()
group.motionEffects = [centerXMotionEffect, centerYMotionEffect]
presentedView.addMotionEffect(group)
}
override var frameOfPresentedViewInContainerView: CGRect {
guard let containerView = self.containerView, let presentedView = self.presentedView else { return .zero }

var frame = CGRect.zero
frame.origin = CGPoint(x: containerView.frame.midX - (size.width / 2.0), y: containerView.frame.midY - (size.height / 2.0))
frame.size = size
return frame
}
override func presentationTransitionWillBegin() {
guard let containerView: UIView = self.containerView, let presentedView: UIView = self.presentedView, let dimmerView = self.dimmerView else { return }
let presentingViewController: UIViewController = self.presentingViewController
dimmerView.alpha = 0.0
dimmerView.frame = containerView.bounds
containerView.insertSubview(dimmerView, at: 0)
presentedView.center = containerView.center
guard let transitionCoordinator = presentingViewController.transitionCoordinator else { return }
transitionCoordinator.animate(
alongsideTransition: { _ in
dimmerView.alpha = 1.0
},
completion: nil
)
}
override func containerViewWillLayoutSubviews() {
super.containerViewWillLayoutSubviews()
guard let containerView: UIView = self.containerView, let presentedView: UIView = self.presentedView, let dimmerView = self.dimmerView else { return }

transitionCoordinator.animate(
alongsideTransition: { _ in
dimmerView.alpha = 0.0
},
completion: nil
)
}
}
Animated Transitioning:
class LOActivityAlertControllerAnimatedTransitioning: NSObject, UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning {
var presentation: Bool
init(presentation: Bool) {
self.presentation = presentation
}
func animateTransition(using transitionContext: UIViewControllerContextTransitioning) {
let containerView = transitionContext.containerView
guard let fromView = transitionContext.view(forKey: .from), let toView = transitionContext.view(forKey: .to) else { return }
if self.presentation {
containerView.addSubview(toView)
toView.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1.6, y: 1.6)
toView.alpha = 0.0
UIView.animate(
withDuration: 0.2,
animations: {
toView.alpha = 1.0
toView.transform = .identity
},
completion: { finished in
transitionContext.completeTransition(true)
}
)
} else {
UIView.animate(
withDuration: 0.2,
animations: {
fromView.alpha = 0.0
},
completion: { finished in
fromView.removeFromSuperview()
transitionContext.completeTransition(true)
}
)
}
}
func transitionDuration(using transitionContext: UIViewControllerContextTransitioning?) -> TimeInterval {
return 0.2
}
}

rdar://37433306: Make UIAlertController presentation controller and transitioning delegate public API to enable reuse.
Swift 5.0 solution
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Sender ...", message: nil, preferredStyle: .alert)
let activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(style: .gray)
activityIndicator.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
activityIndicator.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
activityIndicator.startAnimating()
alert.view.addSubview(activityIndicator)
alert.view.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 95).isActive = true
activityIndicator.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: alert.view.centerXAnchor, constant: 0).isActive = true
activityIndicator.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: alert.view.bottomAnchor, constant: -20).isActive = true
present(alert, animated: true)
I have to implement NSLayoutConstraints to put the UIActivityIndicatorView on the center of the UIAlertController
For Swift:
let loadingAlertController: UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: "Loading", message: nil, preferredStyle: .alert)
let activityIndicator: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView(style: .gray)
activityIndicator.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
loadingAlertController.view.addSubview(activityIndicator)
let xConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: activityIndicator, attribute: .centerX, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: loadingAlertController.view, attribute: .centerX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
let yConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: activityIndicator, attribute: .centerY, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: loadingAlertController.view, attribute: .centerY, multiplier: 1.4, constant: 0)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ xConstraint, yConstraint])
activityIndicator.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
activityIndicator.startAnimating()
let height: NSLayoutConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: loadingAlertController.view, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.height, relatedBy: NSLayoutConstraint.Relation.equal, toItem: nil, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 80)
loadingAlertController.view.addConstraint(height)
self.present(loadingAlertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
Result:
For those like me who prefer UIActivityIndicatorView aligned at the left of the UIAlertController.title, this is my solution in Swift working for all devices:
let alert = UIAlertController(title: NSLocalizedString("Authenticating...", comment: "Authenticating"), message: nil, preferredStyle: .Alert);
let activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.Gray)
activityIndicator.frame = activityIndicator.frame.rectByOffsetting(dx: 8, dy: (alert.view.bounds.height - activityIndicator.frame.height)/2);
activityIndicator.autoresizingMask = .FlexibleRightMargin | .FlexibleTopMargin | .FlexibleBottomMargin
activityIndicator.color = themeManager().currentTheme.navigationBarTintColor;
activityIndicator.startAnimating();
alert.view.addSubview(activityIndicator);
self.presentViewController(progressAlert, animated: true, completion: nil);
However, to align the UIActivityIndicatorView in the view center you can change as follows:
activityIndicator.center = CGPoint(x: (alert.view.bounds.width)/2, y: (alert.view.bounds.height)/2)
activityIndicator.autoresizingMask = .FlexibleLeftMargin | .FlexibleRightMargin | .FlexibleTopMargin | .FlexibleBottomMargin
Apple does not encourage directly subclassing UIAlertController so I made a class that displays UIAlertController with centered UIActivityIndicator and handles the cancel condition with a class protocol.
import Foundation
import UIKit
protocol BusyAlertDelegate {
func didCancelBusyAlert()
}
class BusyAlert {
var busyAlertController: UIAlertController?
var presentingViewController: UIViewController?
var activityIndicator: UIActivityIndicatorView?
var delegate:BusyAlertDelegate?
init (title:String, message:String, presentingViewController: UIViewController) {
busyAlertController = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
busyAlertController!.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: NSLocalizedString("Cancel", comment: "Cancel Button"), style: UIAlertActionStyle.Cancel, handler:{(alert: UIAlertAction!) in
delegate?.didCancelBusyAlert()
}))
self.presentingViewController = presentingViewController
activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.Gray)
busyAlertController!.view.addSubview(activityIndicator!)
}
func display() {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
self.presentingViewController!.presentViewController(self.busyAlertController!, animated: true, completion: {
self.activityIndicator!.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
self.busyAlertController!.view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: self.activityIndicator!, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterX, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: self.busyAlertController!.view, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
self.busyAlertController!.view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: self.activityIndicator!, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterY, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: self.busyAlertController!.view, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
self.activityIndicator!.startAnimating()
})
})
}
func dismiss() {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
self.busyAlertController?.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
})
}
}
I recommend using lazy var to initialize the class.
lazy var busyAlertController: BusyAlert = {
let busyAlert = BusyAlert(title: "Lengthy Task", message: "Please wait...", presentingViewController: self)
busyAlert.delegate = self
return busyAlert
}()
Here is a link to sample code: https://github.com/cgilleeny/BusyAlertExample.git
It's this simple.
fully tested ...
extension UIViewController {
func verySimpleSpinner() -> UIAlertController {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "", message: "", preferredStyle: .alert)
let spinner = UIActivityIndicatorView(style: .medium)
spinner.startAnimating()
alert.view.addSubview(spinner)
spinner.bindEdgesToSuperview()
present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
return alert
}
}
It's impossible to write iOS apps unless you have a simple .bindEdgesToSuperview() call -
extension UIView {
func bindEdgesToSuperview() {
guard let s = superview else { preconditionFailure("flop") }
translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: s.leadingAnchor).isActive = true
trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: s.trailingAnchor).isActive = true
topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: s.topAnchor).isActive = true
bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: s.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
}
}
If you want text
If you do also want text, use the excellent code from #magnuskahr. Modernized:
fully tested ...
extension UIView {
func verySimpleSpinner() -> UIAlertController {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "", message: "Connecting...", preferredStyle: .alert)
let spinner = UIActivityIndicatorView(style: .medium)
alert.view.addSubview(spinner)
alert.view.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 95).isActive = true
spinner.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
spinner.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: alert.view.centerXAnchor, constant: 0).isActive = true
spinner.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: alert.view.bottomAnchor, constant: -20).isActive = true
spinner.startAnimating()
present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
return alert
}
}
How to use
In any view controller:
let spinny = verySimpleSpinner()
when the connection/etc has finished:
spinny.dismiss(animated: true)
In swift:
activityIndicator.center = self.view.center
If you have a tool bar or a navController you might want to shift the point but otherwise, center is center...
If you still have issues, perhaps this tutorial would help. If you are trying to center it in a table view controller, this answer might help.
If you want a ActivityIndicatorView only alert then try this.
func presentLoader() {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "", preferredStyle: .alert)
let activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(style: .large)
activityIndicator.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
activityIndicator.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
activityIndicator.color = .blue
activityIndicator.startAnimating()
alert.view.addSubview(activityIndicator)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
alert.view.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 95),
alert.view.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 95),
activityIndicator.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: alert.view.centerXAnchor),
activityIndicator.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: alert.view.centerYAnchor)
])
present(alert, animated: true)
}
Result:
Converted #petesalt's answer to Swift 3:
let pending = UIAlertController(title: "Saving, please wait...", message: nil, preferredStyle: .alert)
let indicator = UIActivityIndicatorView()
indicator.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
pending.view.addSubview(indicator)
let views = ["pending" : pending.view, "indicator" : indicator]
var constraints = NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "V:[indicator]-(-50)-|", options: NSLayoutFormatOptions.alignAllCenterY, metrics: nil, views: views)
constraints += NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "H:|[indicator]|", options: NSLayoutFormatOptions.alignAllCenterX, metrics: nil, views: views)
pending.view.addConstraints(constraints)
indicator.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
indicator.startAnimating()
self.present(pending, animated: true, completion: nil)
How about this way for Swift 3 and higher:
func showActivityIndiactorViewController(title: String) -> UIAlertController {
let pending = UIAlertController(title: "", message: nil, preferredStyle: .alert)
let heightConstraint:NSLayoutConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: pending.view, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.height, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.equal, toItem: nil, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: self.view.frame.height * 0.10)
pending.view.addConstraint(heightConstraint)
let label = UILabel()
label.text = title
label.textColor = UIColor.black
label.sizeToFit()
let space = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 8, height: 8))
let indicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: .gray)
indicator.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
indicator.startAnimating()
let width = Int(label.frame.size.width + indicator.frame.size.width + space.frame.size.width)
let view = UIStackView(arrangedSubviews: [indicator, space, label])
view.axis = .horizontal
view.frame = CGRect(x: 20, y: 0, width: width, height: Int(heightConstraint.constant))
pending.view.addSubview(view)
let widthConstraint:NSLayoutConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: pending.view, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.width, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.greaterThanOrEqual, toItem: view, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.width, multiplier: 1, constant: CGFloat(width))
pending.view.addConstraint(widthConstraint)
self.present(pending, animated: true, completion: nil)
return pending
}
Well try this code.
UIAlertController *alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:nil
message:#"Creating new user\n\n\n"
preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
UIActivityIndicatorView *loader = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge];
loader.center = CGPointMake(130.5, 65.5);
loader.color = [UIColor blackColor];
[loader startAnimating];
[alert.view loader];
[self presentViewController:alert animated:NO completion:nil];
Try this:
activityView.center = CGPointMake(self.view.bounds.size.width/2.0, self.view.bounds.size.height / 2.0)
Also you will need to check for landscape mode and reverse width and height.
if(landscapeMode)activityView.center = CGPointMake(self.view.bounds.size.height/2.0, self.view.bounds.size.width / 2.0)
Maybe you can get the alert view position?
alert.view.frame.origin.x
alert.view.frame.origin.y
and use that to place your activity view dynamically ie with the variables?
Of course you might also want to get the size divide by 2 and add that so that its centred as well.
alert.view.frame.size.height
alert.view.frame.size.width
I had the same problem and using frame positioning didn't work for me.
Yimin Lin's answer was very close for me, but I just wanted to present an alternative using constraints in non-visual format:
//...
indicator.setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints(false)
alert.view.addSubview(indicator)
alert.view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: indicator, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterX, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: alert.view, attribute: attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
alert.view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: indicator, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterY, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: alert.view, attribute: attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
//...
