Swift ScrollView Layout Issue With PageController and Images iOS
I can't figure out how to set constraints for a scrollView with an imageView inside. I am using the scrollView with a pageConroller to swipe thru a bunch of images.
See my layout in the picture below.
// Code for imageView
for index in 0..<drinksImagesArray.count {
frame.origin.x = scrollView.frame.size.width * CGFloat(index)
frame.size = scrollView.frame.size
let imageView = UIImageView(frame: frame)
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
imageView.image = UIImage(named: imagesArray[index].name)
self.scrollView.addSubview(imageView)
}
scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: scrollView.frame.size.width * CGFloat(imagesArray.count), height: scrollView.frame.size.height)
scrollView.delegate = self
Any suggestions? Thank you!
Solution
You will have much better luck using auto-layout --- it can handle all of the frame sizes and .contentSize for you.
Here's a quick example - it uses a view controller with a scroll view added in Storyboard, so it should be pretty easy for you to integrate with your code:
class ScrollingImagesViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet var scrollView: UIScrollView!
var drinksImagesArray: [String] = []
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// however you're populating your array...
drinksImagesArray = [
"drink1",
"drink2",
"drink3",
// etc...
]
// create a horizontal stack view
let stack = UIStackView()
stack.axis = .horizontal
stack.alignment = .fill
stack.distribution = .fillEqually
stack.spacing = 0
// add the stack view to the scroll view
stack.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
scrollView.addSubview(stack)
// use scroll view's contentLayoutGuide for content constraints
let svCLG = scrollView.contentLayoutGuide
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
// stack view constrained Top / Bottom / Leading / Trailing of scroll view CONTENT guide
stack.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: svCLG.topAnchor),
stack.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: svCLG.bottomAnchor),
stack.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: svCLG.leadingAnchor),
stack.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: svCLG.trailingAnchor),
// stack view height == scroll view FRAME height
stack.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: scrollView.frameLayoutGuide.heightAnchor),
])
// create image views and add them to the stack view
drinksImagesArray.forEach { imgName in
let v = UIImageView()
v.backgroundColor = .lightGray
v.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
// make sure we load a valid image
if let img = UIImage(named: imgName) {
v.image = img
}
stack.addArrangedSubview(v)
}
// stack distribution is set to .fillEqually, so we only need to set the
// width constraint on the first image view
// unwrap it
if let firstImageView = stack.arrangedSubviews.first {
firstImageView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: scrollView.frameLayoutGuide.widthAnchor).isActive = true
}
}
}
Edit
After reviewing your Storyboard...
Auto-layout doesn't seem to like it when you add a UINavigationBar and a UIToolbar and a UIScrollView as subviews. In particular, it appears to confuse the scroll view's frame related constraints.
The fix is to first add constraints for your scroll view:
- Top to Navigation Bar Bottom
- Bottom to Page Control Top
- Leading and Trailing to safe-area
Storyboard / Interface builder will complain that the scroll view is not configured properly. You can either ignore that, or select the scroll view and set Ambiguity to Never Verify:
Then, in your view controller class, we need to create a height constraint for the stack view we're adding to the scroll view, and set that height constant in viewDidLayoutSubviews().
