I have been trying to scroll the view for a whole day yesterday and I am not able to figure out why it won't scroll. I am not sure what I am doing wrong !!
I have looked at the solutions on stackoverflow:
UIScrollView Scrollable Content Size Ambiguity
How to append a character to a string in Swift?
Right anchor of UIScrollView does not apply
But still, the view doesn't scroll and the scrollview height should be equal to the conrainerView height. But in my case, it stays fixed to the height of the view.
Here is the code repo: https://bitbucket.org/siddharth_shekar/ios_colttestproject/src/master/
Kindly go through and any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
Here is the code Snippet as well, If you want to go through the constraints and see if there is anything I have added which is not letting the scroll view do its thing !!
I have made changes to the view just one looong text and removed other images, labels, etc to produce the minimal reproducable code.
And I looked at this persons project as well. Their view scrolls!! https://useyourloaf.com/blog/easier-scrolling-with-layout-guides/
I am just not sure what I am doing differently!!!!
Here is my code for the contentView. It is literally just a textlabel
import Foundation
import UIKit
class RecipeUIView: UIView{
private var recipeTitle: UILabel! = {
let label = UILabel()
label.numberOfLines = 0
label.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 24, weight: .bold)
label.textColor = .gray
label.textAlignment = .center
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label.adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory = true
return label
}()
func setupView(currentRecipe: Receipe?){
recipeTitle.text = currentRecipe?.dynamicTitle
addSubview(recipeTitle)
let margin = readableContentGuide
// Constraints
recipeTitle.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margin.topAnchor, constant: 4).isActive = true
recipeTitle.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margin.leadingAnchor, constant: 20).isActive = true
recipeTitle.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margin.trailingAnchor, constant: -20).isActive = true
}
}
And here is the viewController
import Foundation
import UIKit
class RecipeViewController: UIViewController {
var selectedRecipe: Receipe?
let recipeView: RecipeUIView = {
let view = RecipeUIView()
view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return view
}()
private lazy var scrollView: UIScrollView = {
let scrollView = UIScrollView()
scrollView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return scrollView
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
recipeView.setupView(currentRecipe: selectedRecipe)
recipeView.directionalLayoutMargins = NSDirectionalEdgeInsets(top: 20, leading: 20, bottom: 20, trailing: 20)
view.addSubview(scrollView)
scrollView.addSubview(recipeView)
let frameGuide = scrollView.frameLayoutGuide
let contentGuide = scrollView.contentLayoutGuide
// Scroll view layout guides (iOS 11)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
frameGuide.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor),
frameGuide.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor),
frameGuide.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor),
frameGuide.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor),
contentGuide.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: recipeView.leadingAnchor),
contentGuide.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: recipeView.topAnchor),
contentGuide.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: recipeView.trailingAnchor),
contentGuide.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: recipeView.bottomAnchor),
contentGuide.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: frameGuide.widthAnchor),
])
}
}
And I am still not able to scroll the view. Here is a screenshot of my project output. Still no scroll guide lines on the right!!
UPDATE:: Now the text scrolls, but when I add a UITableView in the UIView the scrolling works but the tableView is not seen in the UiView.
Is it due to the constraints again???
here is the code for the same::
class RecipeUIView: UIView, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource{
var currentRecipe: Receipe?
private let tableView: UITableView = {
let tableView = UITableView()
tableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "MyCell")
tableView.backgroundColor = .green
return tableView
}()
private var recipeTitle: UILabel! = {
let label = UILabel()
label.numberOfLines = 0
label.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 24, weight: .bold)
label.textColor = .gray
label.textAlignment = .center
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label.adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory = true
return label
}()
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
print("++++ IngrediantsTableViewCell tableview count: \(currentRecipe?.ingredients.count ?? 0)")
return currentRecipe?.ingredients.count ?? 0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
print("++++ IngrediantsTableViewCell tableview cellForRow ")
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "MyCell", for: indexPath as IndexPath)
cell.textLabel!.text = "\(currentRecipe?.ingredients[indexPath.row].ingredient ?? "")"
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
//return UITableView.automaticDimension
return 30
}
func setupView(currentRecipe: Receipe?){
let margin = readableContentGuide
self.currentRecipe = currentRecipe
recipeTitle.text = currentRecipe?.dynamicTitle
addSubview(recipeTitle)
// Constraints
recipeTitle.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margin.topAnchor, constant: 4).isActive = true
recipeTitle.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margin.leadingAnchor, constant: 20).isActive = true
recipeTitle.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margin.trailingAnchor, constant: -20).isActive = true
addSubview(tableView)
tableView.delegate = self
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
tableView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: recipeTitle.bottomAnchor, constant: 10).isActive = true
tableView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margin.leadingAnchor, constant: 20).isActive = true
tableView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margin.trailingAnchor, constant: -20).isActive = true
tableView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margin.bottomAnchor, constant: -20).isActive = true
tableView.reloadData()
}
}
