I have an horizontal scroll view on which i add views dynamically. On LTR languages everything work fine, i add views one after the other from left to right. On RTL the problem is that the views always added to the left of the scroll instead of to the right like in every other controller, the really strange staff that the order of the views is added correctly, to the left of the first view so they are ordered from right to left but outside of the scroll view on -x.
Here is my code when i add a new View:
Tag* tag = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"tag" ];
[_scroller addSubview:tag.view];
[tags addObject:tag];
Tag* prev = nil
for (Tag* tag in tags)
{
if (prev == nil)
{
[_scroller addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:tag.view
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeading
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:_scroller
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeading
multiplier:1.0f
constant:0]];
}
else
{
[_scroller addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"[prev]-10-[tag]"
options:0
metrics:nil
views:@{@"tag" : tag.view, @"prev" : prev.view}]];
}
[_scroller addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:tag.view
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeCenterY
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:_scroller
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeCenterY
multiplier:1.0f
constant:0]];
prev = tag;
}
Here is an image of how it suppose to work on LTR and RTL and how it actually works
It sounds like a better approach might be to use a UICollectionView
. Then if you want to start it from the right side you could possibly do something like this:
NSIndexPath *lastIndex = [NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:data.count - 1
inSection:0];
[self.collectionView scrollToItemAtIndexPath:lastIndex
atScrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionRight
animated:NO];
This way the UICollectionViewFlowLayout
can handle the placement for you.
