Understanding View Frame Adjustment in UIKit

As a developer, it’s not uncommon to encounter situations where you need to adjust the frame of a UIView based on its subviews. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of UIView frames and explore how to achieve this dynamic adjustment.

What is a UIView Frame?

In iOS development, a UIView’s frame represents its size and position within its superview’s hierarchy. The frame is defined by four values: x, y, width, and height. When you set the frame of a UIView, you’re essentially telling the view where to draw itself on the screen.

The Problem with Fixed Frames

In your example code, you’ve created a fixed frame for the CDPAccountDetailsView instance:

CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 600, 220);
CDPAccountDetailsView *accountDetailsView = [[CDPAccountDetailsView alloc ] initWithFrame:frame withViewModel:self.viewModel isInEditState:self.isInEditState];
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = accountDetailsView;

The issue here is that the CDPAccountDetailsView instance has subviews of its own, and you want these subviews to be constrained within the parent view. However, since you’ve set a fixed frame for the entire CDPAccountDetailsView, any subviews within it will also have their own fixed positions on the screen.

Understanding Constraints

To address this issue, we need to understand constraints in iOS development. A constraint is a relationship between two or more views that determines how they should be arranged relative to each other and their superviews. In your case, you want the CDPAccountDetailsView instance to wrap its subviews and adjust its frame accordingly.

Creating Constraints

To create constraints for your view hierarchy, follow these steps:

Open the Attributes Inspector: In Xcode, select the CDPAccountDetailsView instance in Interface Builder or navigate to the Attributes Inspector panel.
Add a View Constraint: Drag from the top left corner of the view to the superview’s edges (top, bottom, left, and right) and drop it onto the canvas. Repeat this process for each edge of the view.
Add Size Constraints: For the CDPAccountDetailsView instance to wrap its subviews, you’ll need to add size constraints that adapt to the content’s height.

Setting Up Auto Layout

In your code, you’re initializing the CDPAccountDetailsView instance with a frame:

- (instancetype)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame withViewModel:(CDPDebitOrderDetailsReviewViewModel *)viewModel isInEditState:(BOOL) isInEditState {
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        // ...
        [self initialiseView];
        [self configureWithAccountsView];
    }
    return self;
}

However, since you want to adjust the frame based on subviews, it’s better to rely on Auto Layout. Here’s how you can modify your initialiseView method:

- (void)initialiseView {
    NSString *nibName = NSStringFromClass([self class]);
    UINib *nib = [UINib nibWithNibName:nibName bundle:[SBResourcesBundle bundleWithName:[CDPResourceBundle bundleName]]];
    [nib instantiateWithOwner:self options:nil];
    [SBViewUtility addSubview:self.mainView withConstraintsToParentView:self];
    [self layoutIfNeeded];

    // Configure Auto Layout constraints here
}

In your configureWithAccountsView method, you should add the necessary constraints to your view hierarchy:

- (void)configureWithAccountsView {
    // Add constraints for subviews here
}

Example Configuration

Here’s an example of how you can configure Auto Layout constraints for your CDPAccountDetailsView instance:

- (void)configureWithAccountsView {
    // Create a stack view to manage subview constraints
    UIView *stackView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    [self.mainView addSubview:stackView];

    // Add constraints for subviews here
}

For this example, let’s assume you have multiple Subview instances within the CDPAccountDetailsView. To wrap these subviews and adjust the frame of the parent view, you can add size constraints to your stack view:

- (void)configureWithAccountsView {
    // Create a stack view to manage subview constraints
    UIView *stackView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    [self.mainView addSubview:stackView];

    // Add top and bottom constraints for the stack view
    NSLayoutConstraint *topConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop multiplier:1 constant:0];
    NSLayoutConstraint *bottomConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom multiplier:1 constant:0];

    [self.mainView addConstraints:@[topConstraint, bottomConstraint]];

    // Add horizontal constraints for the stack view
    NSLayoutConstraint *leftConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft multiplier:1 constant:0];
    NSLayoutConstraint *rightConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight multiplier:1 constant:0];

    [self.mainView addConstraints:@[leftConstraint, rightConstraint]];

    // Add width and height constraints to the stack view
    NSLayoutConstraint *widthConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth multiplier:1 constant:0];
    NSLayoutConstraint *heightConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight multiplier:1 constant:0];

    [self.mainView addConstraints:@[widthConstraint, heightConstraint]];
}

In this example, we’re adding constraints to the stack view’s top and bottom edges as well as its left and right edges. We’re also setting width and height constraints for the stack view.

Conclusion

To wrap your subviews within a CDPAccountDetailsView instance and adjust the frame of the parent view based on those subviews, you can use Auto Layout. By creating constraints between views in your hierarchy, you can adapt the layout to changing content and achieve dynamic behavior.

Here’s an example of how you could implement it:

- (void)configureWithAccountsView {
    UIView *stackView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    [self.mainView addSubview:stackView];

    NSLayoutConstraint *topConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop multiplier:1 constant:0];
    NSLayoutConstraint *bottomConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom multiplier:1 constant:0];

    [self.mainView addConstraints:@[topConstraint, bottomConstraint]];

    NSLayoutConstraint *leftConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft multiplier:1 constant:0];
    NSLayoutConstraint *rightConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight multiplier:1 constant:0];

    [self.mainView addConstraints:@[leftConstraint, rightConstraint]];

    NSLayoutConstraint *widthConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth multiplier:1 constant:0];
    NSLayoutConstraint *heightConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight multiplier:1 constant:0];

    [self.mainView addConstraints:@[widthConstraint, heightConstraint]];
}

In the configureWithAccountsView method, we create constraints for the stack view’s edges and its width and height. By using these constraints, the layout of our view hierarchy adapts to changing content.

- (void)setupViews {
    // Create the main view and subviews here

    [self.mainView addSubview:stackView];

    self.stackView = stackView;

    // Configure Auto Layout constraints here
}

In the setupViews method, we create the main view and add it to our parent view. We also set up the Auto Layout constraints for the stack view within the main view.

- (void)loadView {
    [super loadView];

    self.stackView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    [self.mainView addSubview:self.stackView];
}

In the loadView method, we create a new instance of our stackView, add it to the main view’s subviews array, and set its frame.

- (void)layoutSubviews {
    [super layoutSubviews];

    NSLayoutConstraint *topConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop multiplier:1 constant:0];
    NSLayoutConstraint *bottomConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom multiplier:1 constant:0];

    [self.mainView addConstraints:@[topConstraint, bottomConstraint]];

    NSLayoutConstraint *leftConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft multiplier:1 constant:0];
    NSLayoutConstraint *rightConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight multiplier:1 constant:0];

    [self.mainView addConstraints:@[leftConstraint, rightConstraint]];

    NSLayoutConstraint *widthConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth multiplier:1 constant:0];
    NSLayoutConstraint *heightConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight multiplier:1 constant:0];

    [self.mainView addConstraints:@[widthConstraint, heightConstraint]];
}

In the layoutSubviews method, we create constraints for the stack view’s edges and its width and height. By using these constraints, our layout adapts to changing content.

- (void)updateSubviews {
    self.stackView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.mainView.bounds.size.width, self.mainView.bounds.size.height);
}

In the updateSubviews method, we update the frame of the stack view based on its constraints.

- (void)setupConstraints {
    [self.mainView addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop multiplier:1 constant:0]];
    [self.mainView addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom multiplier:1 constant:0]];
    [self.mainView addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft multiplier:1 constant:0]];
    [self.mainView addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.stackView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem=self.mainView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight multiplier:1 constant:0]];
}

In the setupConstraints method, we add constraints for the stack view’s edges to its parent view.

- (void)updateStackView {
    [self.stackView updateConstraints:nil];
}

- (void)layoutSubviews {
    self.stackView.updateConstraints(nil);
}
