Swift: Can't center UIView in Superview with NSLayoutConstraint

Question

i'm trying to center a view in the parent view but its not centering as expected. Here is my code an a screenshot of the result.

emptyView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
self.view.addSubview(emptyView)
let centerXConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: emptyView, attribute: .centerX, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: self.view, attribute: .centerX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
let centerYConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: emptyView, attribute: .centerY, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: self.view, attribute: .centerY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
self.view.addConstraints([centerXConstraint])
self.view.addConstraints([centerYConstraint])

Answer 1

Here is the code,

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController
{
    @IBOutlet weak var emptyView: UIView!

    override func viewDidLoad()
    {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.emptyView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        let centerXConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: emptyView, attribute: .centerX, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: self.view, attribute: .centerX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
        let centerYConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: emptyView, attribute: .centerY, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: self.view, attribute: .centerY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
        let widthConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: emptyView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.width, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.equal, toItem: nil, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 100)
        let heightConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: emptyView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.height, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.equal, toItem: nil, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 100)

        self.view.addConstraints([centerXConstraint, centerYConstraint, widthConstraint, heightConstraint])
        self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
    }
}

If you are using label or button or any other view that have intrinsic size, there is no need for height and width constraints
