Add constraints programmatically


I have 5 buttons I want to place on screen programmatically.

I want them to be 17px above the bottom of the view, and 20px space between every button.

I've done that like this:

let button1 = UIButton(frame: CGRectMake(20, 48, 50, 50))
button1.setImage(UIImage(named: "button1"), forState: .Normal)

let button2 = UIButton(frame: CGRectMake(91, 48, 50, 50))
button2.setImage(UIImage(named: "button2"), forState: .Normal)

let button3 = UIButton(frame: CGRectMake(162, 48, 50, 50))
button3.setImage(UIImage(named: "button3"), forState: .Normal)

let button4 = UIButton(frame: CGRectMake(233, 48, 50, 50))
        button4.setImage(UIImage(named: "button4"), forState: .Normal)

let button5 = UIButton(frame: CGRectMake(304, 48, 50, 50))
button5.setImage(UIImage(named: "button5"), forState: .Normal)

self.addSubview(button1)
self.addSubview(button2)
self.addSubview(button3)
self.addSubview(button4)
self.addSubview(button5)

I works great and exactly what I want! But just on iPhone 6s screen size, so I guess the way to make it work on all screen sizes is using constraints, the problem is that I don't have an idea how can I add constraints programmatically.

Can someone help me here?

Thank you!

Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
    Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. 
    Try this: 
        (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; 
        (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.

    Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. 
    Try this: 
        (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; 
        (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.

Solution

  • iOS 8 safe

    Before adding the buttons to view

    button1.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    button2.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    button3.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    button4.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    button5.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    

    After adding the buttons to view

    let views = ["button1": button1,
      "button2": button2,
      "button3": button3,
      "button4": button4,
      "button5": button5]
    
    let buttonConstraintsH = NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat(
      "H:|-20-[button1]-20-[button2]-20-[button3]-20-[button4]-20-[button5]-20-|",
      options: [],
      metrics: nil,
      views: views)
    
    let button1ConstraintsV = NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat(
      "V:[button1]-17-|",
      options: [],
      metrics: nil,
      views: views)
    
    let button2ConstraintsV = NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat(
      "V:[button2]-17-|",
      options: [],
      metrics: nil,
      views: views)
    
    let button3ConstraintsV = NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat(
      "V:[button3]-17-|",
      options: [],
      metrics: nil,
      views: views)
    
    let button4ConstraintsV = NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat(
      "V:[button4]-17-|",
      options: [],
      metrics: nil,
      views: views)
    
    let button5ConstraintsV = NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat(
      "V:[button5]-17-|",
      options: [],
      metrics: nil,
      views: views)
    
    NSLayoutConstraint.activateConstraints([buttonConstraintsH, button1ConstraintsV, button2ConstraintsV, button3ConstraintsV, button4ConstraintsV, button5ConstraintsV])
    

    and to have the same ratio (write it for each button):

    NSLayoutConstraint.activateConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint( 
    item:button1 
    attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight 
    relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual 
    toItem:button1  
    attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth 
    multiplier:1 
    constant:0))
