Answer 1

If you add something programmatically(calling addSubView:) you have to do autolayout programmatically in order to position your view in correct order.

There are lots of tutorials about this.I am just giving you some example about it.Suppose if you want to put your PickerView

Left position : 20px

Top position : 100px

You have to first write below line.Why? just google it. :)

pickerView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

I am using anchoring.Because code is very much reduced.Thanks to Apple.

 pickerView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.leadingAnchor, constant: 20.0).isActive = true
 pickerView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo:self.view.topAnchor, constant: 100.0).isActive = true

Of course you must add this after you add subView. remove this line from your code by the way.You can center align using autolayout. :)

pickerView.center = view.center

Answer 2

You have to set layout constraint to change the position of pickerview as per your requirements.

if you set the below line it will show center of the view

pickerView.center = view.center

you have to set the constraint value in respect of superview or as your required position.
