I've to do a ViewController with autolayouts in scrollView, but here is few problems:
public SomeVC() : UIViewController
{
_mainScrollView = new UIScrollView {
ShowsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false,
ShowsVerticalScrollIndicator = true,
BackgroundColor = UIColor.Clear,
ScrollEnabled = true,
AutoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleHeight,
TranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true
};
_userDataTableView = new UITableView(CGRect.Empty, UITableViewStyle.Grouped);
_userDataTableView.LayoutIfNeeded();
_saveButton = new UIButton();
_menuTableView = new UITableView(CGRect.Empty, UITableViewStyle.Grouped);
_menuTableView.LayoutIfNeeded();
_logoutButton = new UIButton();
}
public override void LoadView()
{
base.LoadView();
View = _mainScrollView;
}
public override void ViewDidLoad()
{
base.ViewDidLoad();
Add(_userDataTableView);
Add(_saveButton);
Add(_menuTableView);
Add(_logoutButton);
_mainScrollView.AddConstraints(
_userDataTableView.AtTopOf(View),
_userDataTableView.AtLeftOf(View),
_userDataTableView.AtRightOf(View),
_userDataTableView.Height().EqualTo(_userDataTableView.ContentSize.Height),
_saveButton.Below(_userDataTableView, 20),
_saveButton.AtLeftOf(_mainScrollView, 10),
_saveButton.AtRightOf(_mainScrollView, 10),
_saveButton.Height().EqualTo(44),
_menuTableView.Below(_saveButton, 20),
_menuTableView.AtLeftOf(_mainScrollView),
_menuTableView.AtRightOf(_mainScrollView),
_menuTableView.Height().EqualTo(_menuTableView.ContentSize.Height),
_logoutButton.Below(_menuTableView, 20),
_logoutButton.AtLeftOf(_mainScrollView, 10),
_logoutButton.AtRightOf(_mainScrollView, 10),
_logoutButton.Height().EqualTo(44)
);
_mainScrollView.SubviewsDoNotTranslateAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints();
}
In fact, it works, but contents width is about half of screen width, and scrolling not working. How to get it works?
As far as I understand, the problem is - _mainScrollView.ContentSize, but how and where should I set it, when using autolayouts?
If your views doesn't exceed the screen you will not be able to do scroll. if you only have something like this :
// Create containers
contentView = new UIView();
scrollView = new UIScrollView { contentView };
Add(scrollView);
contentView.AddSubviews(logo, user, password, loginButton);
// Auto layout
View.SubviewsDoNotTranslateAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints();
View.AddConstraints(scrollView.FullWidthOf(View));
View.AddConstraints(scrollView.FullHeightOf(View));
View.AddConstraints(
contentView.WithSameWidth(View),
contentView.WithSameHeight(View).SetPriority(UILayoutPriority.DefaultLow)
);
scrollView.SubviewsDoNotTranslateAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints();
scrollView.AddConstraints(contentView.FullWidthOf(scrollView));
scrollView.AddConstraints(contentView.FullHeightOf(scrollView));
// very important to make scrolling work
var bottomViewConstraint = contentView.Subviews.Last()
.AtBottomOf(contentView).Minus(20);
contentView.SubviewsDoNotTranslateAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints();
contentView.AddConstraints(
logo.AtTopOf(contentView),
logo.WithRelativeWidth(contentView, 0.8f),
logo.WithSameCenterX(contentView),
logo.WithRelativeHeight(contentView, 0.3f),
user.Below(logo, 50),
user.WithRelativeWidth(logo, 0.8f),
user.WithSameCenterX(logo),
password.Below(user),
password.WithSameWidth(user),
password.WithSameCenterX(user),
loginButton.Below(password, 50),
loginButton.WithRelativeWidth(password, 0.9f),
loginButton.Height().EqualTo(50),
loginButton.WithSameCenterX(password)
);
contentView.AddConstraints(bottomViewConstraint);
}
I'm using this package and it works perfectly like if I was using a stackLayout inside a scrollview in xamarin.forms I think is the perfect behaviour.
Xamarin.IQKeyboardManager from Nuget
Also, if you want to center your content view inside the scrollview you will need to add this:
public override void ViewWillLayoutSubviews()
{
base.ViewWillLayoutSubviews();
var scrollViewBounds = scrollView.Bounds;
var containerViewBounds = contentView.Bounds;
var scrollViewInsets = UIEdgeInsets.Zero;
scrollViewInsets.Top = scrollViewBounds.Size.Height / 2.0f;
scrollViewInsets.Top -= contentView.Bounds.Size.Height / 2.0f;
scrollViewInsets.Bottom = scrollViewBounds.Size.Height / 2.0f;
scrollViewInsets.Bottom -= contentView.Bounds.Size.Height / 2.0f;
scrollViewInsets.Bottom += 1;
scrollView.ContentInset = scrollViewInsets;
}
And thats all, doesn't matter how your contentView is . You will have a centered contetnview inside a scrollview and a manager to capture the keyboard events and adapt your view to this event .
Solution found:
Firstly:
_userDataTableView.AtLeftOf(View),
_userDataTableView.AtRightOf(View),
is not valid, instead of this, we should use:
_userDataTableView.AtLeftOf(View),
_userDataTableView.WithSameWidth(View),
if we want margin, we just add
_userDataTableView.WithSameWidth(View).Minus(MARGIN)
And the last thing we have to do:
_logoutButton.Height().EqualTo(44),
_logoutButton.Bottom().EqualTo().BottomOf(_mainScrollView).Plus(10)
last line is very important. It says to scrollView right content size.
