The issue is to move an "InfoView" (UIView) programmatically in Swift.
The following constraints exist in the storyboard (see image):
Now, I would like to move the "InfoView" inside "MyView" up or down.
I tried:
@IBOutlet weak var infoTextLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var infoTextLabelView: UIView!
// set infoTextLabel color
self.infoTextLabel.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
// set infoTextLabel text
self.infoTextLabel.text = "hello"
// unhide infoTextLabel
self.infoTextLabel.hidden = false
// For the moving in Y-direction, I tried this - but does not work !!!!!!!
self.infoTextLabelView.frame.origin.y += 200
Could the Autolayout-constraints play a role. How to overcome those programmatically. Or is the frame.origin.y method the wrong one ??
Appreciate any help on this !
When using constraints, you never want to set a view's frame directly. Instead, reconfigure the constraints and let the auto layout engine set your view's frame for you. Create an IBOutlet in your view controller to store a reference to your "Center Y Alignment constraint". Make sure you connect it in your storyboard or xib.
Then you can set the constraint's constant property to offset it from the Y position (positive number will move it down, negative moves it up).
This would move your view 200 points down.
