POResizing UITextView Without Losing Constraints
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to figure out how to resize UITextView (and everything actually) without losing constraints. Basically, I'm trying to layout a page where most components can have variable sizes (like description). I tried doing it with a simple use case where I have a UITextView and a UIButton underneath. I want to make sure that the position of the button is relative to the bottom of the UITextView.</p> <pre><code>- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated { [super viewDidAppear:animated]; CGRect frame = self.textView.frame; int height = self.textView.contentSize.height; frame.size.height = height; self.textView.frame = frame; } </code></pre> <p>What I ended up with is UITextView overlapping with UIButton. After doing a bit of research, it seems that if I replace the frame, all constraints are gone also. I tried copying the constraints over, but of course the pointer is still pointing at the old frame so that didn't help at all.</p> <p>Is there a good way to solve a very dynamically laid out page? I'm trying to at least use interface builder rather than code everything.</p> <h2>EDITED</h2> <p>I tried updating the constraint as suggested, but that didn't actually resize the UITextView. Did I do it incorrectly? When I get the constant again, it's updated, but the height isn't changed visually. I did simplify my code by adding an IBOutlet for the constraint. Still no luck however.</p> <pre><code>int height = self.textView.contentSize.height; self.textViewHeightConstraint.constant = height; </code></pre> <h2>EDITED 2</h2> <p>I figured it out now. I had an extra constraint for the bottom and that was stopping me from actually resizing the UITextView.</p>

Querying!
