Please help!!! I am using gesture recognizer to move my UIView. During moving I am changing width of my view, but content become out of borders... How to cut content of view? I need only temporary cut it, not remove, because I need then restore content. Does anybody know the solution?
Set clipsToBounds property of your view to YES (either programmatically or in interface builder).
Normally, a subview’s visibile area is not clipped to the bounds of its superview, but in iOS you can use the clipsToBounds property to alter that behavior.
Try setting
myView.clipsToBounds = YES;

Before AutoLayout I could do a view cut to a circle shape with setting .layer.cornerRadius to half of the view's height.
Now, using AutoLayout how can I achieve, to my view keep look like a circle?
I have already tried and failed:
using KVO to find out when frame changes. It gets called, but at that point setting cornerRadius on the view does not have any effect
calling -setNeedsLayout to have frame values before I set cornerRadius (does not work either)
You need to set the property masksToBounds on the layer.
xyz.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
Further, the reason why this actually won't affect Auto Layout is because the view's frame will remain the same regardless of its corner radius.
I have a screen full of different UI objects that I need to scroll if on a 3.5 inch iPhone screen. I've added the ScrollView and setEnabled to YES but it still doesn't work. I'm thinking I should just code all the objects instead of using the IB and then add them to the scrollview. If I use a view with a scrollview on top with a view on top of that, then add them all to the subview, they lose their positioning. As for the constraints on the IB, there are simply too many objects and with hours spent on different constraint use, that will not be an option. Thanks for any suggestions and help.
Try to set the content size to be the size your frame, which is this case your view controller since you mentioned its "a screen full of different UI objects"
self.scrollView.contentSize = self.scrollView.frame.size;
then set scrollView frame to be the size of the view's frame
self.scrollView.frame = self.view.frame;
UIScrollView wont scroll, if the contents inside of the UIScrollview, are small enough to view without scrolling.
So if you have a UIView obj inside of your UIScrollView and that UIView is not Bigger than the UIScrollView, by default the UIScrollview will not scroll.
I have a UIScrollView with a UIView as a subview. The UIView has a bunch of data entry fields arranged vertically - essentially just a fixed format data entry Form.
I want to keep the UIView's vertical size and adjust its horizontal size to match the size of the UIScrollView which changes depending on the orientation of the device. Note that this is all placed in the Detail view of a UISplitViewController.
So the user will have to scroll vertically but not horizontally as all the text fields on the UIView should resize themselves to fit horizontally on the screen.
Currently if I resize the UIView by changing the frame width to match the UIScrollView's frame width then the UIView subviews (the text fields) don't resize themselves according to the constraints setup in IB. The UIView just seems to get clipped. There is no horizontal scrolling so this aspect is working correctly.
I have autoresize subviews set on UIView and on UIScrollView.
Any tips on what to do here ? Also where would I put code to resize the UIView if the device orientation changes ?
Additional information.
I created the UIView in IB as a separate view in the same NIB as the DetailViewController containing the UIScrollView. Because it is much taller than the UIScrollView the only way I can find for creating it in IB is if I set it up as a separate view of the desired width and height. I then create an IBOutlet and add this view as a subview to UIScrollView in the viewDidLoad method. This all seems to work find with the views all displaying correctly, with the exception that the UIView subviews are not resized horizontally.
Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong here?
Since you are using not putting the view inside scrollview directly from the xib, the IB doesn't provide the options to give constraints that has anything to do with superview. You might have to add the constraints programatically.See here.
EDIT:
Also try using the below on the view (haven't tried, should work according to documentation, but not sure with auto-layout):
self.view.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
Or if you don't want to use auto layout at all then the earlier method of setting the view to expand (horizontal/vertical) in the size inspector would do. For this you have to disable auto-layout. Select xib-> File Inspector -> Uncheck auto-layout checkbox
OK after more discovery I think I have found the right way to do what I am trying to do so i thought I should leave a note regarding this. Remember I am trying to create a scrollable form that resizes its width but not its height so the user only has to scroll up and down to access fields.
To create a large fixed size form that requires scrolling on the device make sure you set the ViewController size to Freeform in IB. Then you can create the view to be whatever size you want in IB and at runtime it will resize to the devices size.
Place the UIScrollView (I call it the scrollView) in the main view and pin it left and right and top and bottom (i.e set constraints using IB)
Place a UIView (I call it the contentView) in scrollView and make it the same size as the scrollView and also pin it on all sides to its superview (the scrollView)
Now add all the labels and text fields are required to the contentView and make sure you add vertical constraints from top to bottom and left to right so that autolayout can figure out the width and height in order to calculate the scrollView.contentSize
Set the contentView width constraint as a fixed size to make it look reasonable in IB. Bear in mind we want the width of contentView to always match the scrollView width so the user does not have to scroll sideways, only up and down. We will set the proper width in code at runtime as I have not found any way of doing this in IB only. Perhaps setting priorities on constraints might achieve this but I think UIScrollView won't do this for you.
Now add a property the ViewController.h file and connect this to the contentView width constrain you created in 5) above.
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet NSLayoutConstraint *contentViewWidth;
Finally create a viewDidLayoutSubviews method in ViewController and add the following code to set the contentView width to be the same as the scrollView width.
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
self.contentViewWidth.constant = self.scrollView.frame.size.width;
[self.view layoutSubviews];
}
If things don't resize properly check all your constraints are correctly set. IB seems to do some things that seem strange to me. But finally I have it working with what appears to be minimum coding.
You can also resize vertically in the same way as long as you set the constraint priority on subviews in contentView to be lower than 1,000. Also set a greater than or equal to size with a high priority if you don't want it smaller than a certain size.
If anyone can figure out how to set the contentView such that it resizes its width to match the scrollView using only IB constraints I would love to know how.

Scrolling down you will see a girl's cloths are changing on mouse wheel scrolling.
I have to create a iPad application where 3 images will appear likewise. The difference will be that in my case image change will occur horizontally rather than vertically in website. Also, i have to make it inside UIView with events touchesBegan, touchesMoved, touchesEnded and touchesCancelled
Help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
From your comment I gather that the problem is the resizing of the images in UIImageView when changing the bounds of the view.
You can set the contentMode of the image view to something else. The default is UIViewContentModeScaleToFill which is not what you want.
You could, for example, set the lower image view to UIViewContentModeBottom, and the upper image view to UIViewContentModeTop.
Don't forget to make sure your image views have sett the property maskToBounds set as YES.
I have a scroll view with a image view inside. I was wondering whether it's possible to have the image inside the image view be much smaller than the resolution of the screen, and somehow be able to stretch it to fit the screen.
Set contentMode on the UIImageView and change its size.
[UIImageView setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleToFill];
Check the docs for more informations regarding UIViewContentMode:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/uiview_class/UIView/UIView.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006816-CH3-SW69
Sure, just change the bounds of the imageView.
Am I missing something here?
Your UIImageView is within an UIScrollView I understand?
That would work by adjusting the scroll view plus adusting the image view appropriately. However that is not advisable to do. You will get lost in small errors with annoying effects.
I'd suggest to add an additional UIView that can match the bounds of the screen.
Add that view to the underlying "view" object and use the bringSubviewToFront method.
You could as well make sure that this new UIView is the first subview of the most underlying view object. You could achieve that by manipulating the subviews array structure - which I do not recommend in general wihout having fully understood everythng about the view hierarchy.
You can as well achieve that by adding the additional view at first before adding any other view. (Within IB just make sure that the new view is the topmost in the tree, coming next to the view controllers "view".) And then make it hidden until you actually need it. Then you unhide it. When it is not needed anymore then hide it again and neither delete it nor erase it from its superview.
