NSLayoutConstraints to UITextField - Error - ios

Question

I have a simple setup with 3 views:
view, which has 1 subview contentView, which has 1 subview emailField (a UITextField).
emailfField is not aligning in centerY correctly. I got is this error:
"<NSLayoutConstraint:0x9e7d500 UIView:0x9e85c30.centerY == UITextField:0x9e4dbd0.centerY>",
"<NSLayoutConstraint:0x9e7cc00 UIView:0x9e85530.top == UIView:0x9e85c30.top>",
"<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x9e7f950 h=--& v=--& UITextField:0x9e4dbd0.midY == + 282.5>",
"<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x9e81e90 h=--& v=--& UIView:0x9e85c30.midY == + 240>")
My .m file:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self initContentView];
[self initFirstView];
[self addConstraints];}
- (void)addConstraints {
[self.view addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.contentView
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeading
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:self.view
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeading
multiplier:1.0
constant:0.0]];
[self.view addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.contentView
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:self.view
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop
multiplier:1.0
constant:0.0]];
[self.view addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.contentView
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTrailing
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:self.view
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTrailing
multiplier:1.0
constant:0.0]];
[self.view addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.contentView
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:self.view
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom
multiplier:1.0
constant:0.0]];
//First View
//Email Field
[self.contentView addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.emailField
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeCenterY
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:self.contentView
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeCenterY
multiplier:1.0
constant:0.0]];}
- (void)initContentView {
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:239.0f/255.0f green:239.0f/255.0f blue:239.0f/255.0f alpha:1.0];
self.contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame];
self.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[self.view addSubview:self.contentView];
int frameHorizontalCenter = self.contentView.frame.size.width/2;
self.funView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(frameHorizontalCenter-50, 100, 100, 100)];
self.funView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.funView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"dog1"];
[self.contentView addSubview:self.funView];
self.descriptionLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(frameHorizontalCenter - 140, self.funView.frame.origin.y + self.funView.frame.size.height, 280, 60)];
self.descriptionLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14];
self.descriptionLabel.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:63.0f/255.0f green:63.0f/255.0f blue:63.0f/255.0f alpha:1.0];
self.descriptionLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.descriptionLabel.highlightedTextColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.descriptionLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
self.descriptionLabel.numberOfLines = 2;
self.descriptionLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;
self.descriptionLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
[self.contentView addSubview:self.descriptionLabel];
self.emailField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(frameHorizontalCenter -140, self.descriptionLabel.frame.origin.y + self.descriptionLabel.frame.size.height, 280, 45)];
self.emailField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleNone;
self.emailField.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:63.0f/255.0f green:63.0f/255.0f blue:63.0f/255.0f alpha:1.0];
self.emailField.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.emailField.placeholder = #"Epasts";
[self.contentView addSubview:self.emailField];}
I really don't understand what's wrong. Aren't constraints set correctly?

Answer 1

Use setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints: to turn off conversion of autoresizing masks to constraints on contentView and emailField. Add additional constraints to emailField to specify the x position, width and height that it should use.
