ViewController in UINavigationController not filling view
autolayout, ios, uinavigationcontroller
Solution
Try to remove the following line:
self.view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
This will let the view controller view to have its full width and height according to the default autoresizing masks it has. This is what I get (I set the background color of the view to be green):
If the line above is still added, this is what I get (which seems to imply the view is not found anywhere since there is no trace of green color):
Problem
I have not found how to make my view fill the available space as the root view controller (or pushed view controller) in a `UINavigationController`. I am attempting to use AutoLayout here, but I doubt that's the issue. In my app delegate ``` - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { ViewController *viewController = [[ViewController alloc] init]; UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController]; self.window.rootViewController = navigationController; [self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; return YES; } ``` And in my `ViewController` ``` - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; self.view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO; // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib. UILabel *companyLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init]; companyLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO; companyLabel.text = @"We Build It"; companyLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; [self.view addSubview:companyLabel]; NSDictionary *views = NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(companyLabel); [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:|[companyLabel]" options:0 metrics:@{} views:views]]; [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"|[companyLabel]" options:0 metrics:@{} views:views]]; } ``` And the label is centered in the screen instead of bound to the upper left because, I believe, that the view is just centered in the screen instead of filling the available space.
