I have two views in a UITabbarController with tableViews that are centered perfectly using this code
float origenX = [self locationTable].contentSize.width * .1;
float origenY = ([[self view] frame].size.height / 2) - ([self locationTable].contentSize.height / 2);
float sizeW = [self locationTable].contentSize.width * .8;
float sizeH = [self locationTable].contentSize.height;
CGRect newFrame = CGRectMake(origenX, origenY, sizeW, sizeH);
[[self locationTable] setFrame:newFrame];
but in another view in the same viewController I have a label and try to space it the same way
float labelW = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width * .8;
float labelH = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height * .6;
float x = ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width / 2) - (labelW / 2);
float y = ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height / 2) - (labelH / 2);
[[self infoLabel] setFrame:CGRectMake(x, y, labelW, labelH)];
Only the label is not centered correctly on the Y axis. I have tried centered by getting sizes using
[[UIScreen mainScree] bounds].height / 2
[[self view] superView] bounds].height / 2
[[self view] bounds].height / 2
Any ideas? Why can I easily center it with a tableView but not a label? Thanks
Why dont you make use of
CGRectInset
Returns a rectangle that is smaller or larger than the source rectangle, with the same center point.
For example:
UIView *baseView=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100,100)];
[baseView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
UIView *innerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectInset(baseView.bounds, 20, 20)];
[innerView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
NSLog(@"%@",NSStringFromCGRect(baseView.bounds));
NSLog(@"%@",NSStringFromCGRect(baseView.frame));
NSLog(@"%@",NSStringFromCGRect(CGRectInset(baseView.bounds, 8, 8)));
[baseView addSubview:innerView];
[self.view addSubview:baseView];
UILabel inherits from UIView so you can make user of -setCenter: method to set the centerpoint
