Alternative to Auto-layout
For Swift Developers who are control freaks and want to paint UIElements by code, there is an alternative to Auto-Layout. By finding the percentage of the UIElement (as well as spacing) to the whole screen, we can create a UIView that will scale down based on the device’s screen. For example; on an iPhone6 device, my headerView and footerView and 20% of the whole screen, and the bodyView is the remainder of the screen. I can go with: var x : CGFloat = 0 var y : CGFloat = 0 var w : CGFloat = view.bounds.width var h : CGFloat = view.bounds.height * 0.20 // <-- 20% of my device’s height var headerView = CGRectMake(x,y,w,h) Test the headerView in all the devices and it will show you that it has occupied 20% of the view’s height.
Auto-Layout
With the new iPhone 6's being released recently I have realized the need to learn auto-layout to dynamically support different screen sizes. I was always afraid of auto-layout because it never seemed to do what I wanted it to do. But I'm slowly but surely starting to understand it and appreciate it. At this point about 65% of the views in RVWR are done with auto-layout enabled and working. The most frustrating thing about auto-layout is all the errors I get. I think this is mainly because of the UIScrollView I have in my views, it does not seem to work well when using Auto-Layout inside of it. I've done some research online and it seems I am not the only one having trouble using the two together. Overall it's nice to finally dive into it and start understanding it.Once I get everything functioning I am going to start working on some of the code optimization for certain list views.
