I know this is a hard problem to debug. I will try to explain, you can ask question from comments section.
I want to use message bubbles in my app. I wrote some code for constraints, but it is not working well.
How can i put the left edge of blue bubble to red line?
Here is my code:
When tableview cell loads this method is running:
private func setup() {
bubbleImageView = UIImageView(image: bubbleImage.incoming, highlightedImage: bubbleImage.incomingHighlighed)
bubbleImageView.userInteractionEnabled = true
messageLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRectZero)
messageLabel.font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(15)
messageLabel.numberOfLines = 0
messageLabel.userInteractionEnabled = true
selectionStyle = .None
contentView.addSubview(bubbleImageView)
bubbleImageView.addSubview(messageLabel)
messageLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
bubbleImageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
contentView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: bubbleImageView, attribute: .Left, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: contentView, attribute: .Left, multiplier: 1, constant: 10))
contentView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: bubbleImageView, attribute: .Top, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: contentView, attribute: .Top, multiplier: 1, constant: 4.5))
bubbleImageView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: bubbleImageView, attribute: .Width, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: messageLabel, attribute: .Width, multiplier: 1, constant: 30))
contentView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: bubbleImageView, attribute: .Bottom, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: contentView, attribute: .Bottom, multiplier: 1, constant: -4.5))
bubbleImageView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: messageLabel, attribute: .CenterX, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: bubbleImageView, attribute: .CenterX, multiplier: 1, constant: -2))
bubbleImageView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: messageLabel, attribute: .CenterY, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: bubbleImageView, attribute: .CenterY, multiplier: 1, constant: -0.5))
messageLabel.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = 218
bubbleImageView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: messageLabel, attribute: .Height, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: bubbleImageView, attribute: .Height, multiplier: 1, constant: -15))
}
As you can see i am creating bubble background and label for text.
And second method:
func setCell(message:Message) {
messageLabel.text="testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttest"
var layoutAttribute: NSLayoutAttribute
var layoutConstant: CGFloat
if message.incoming {
bubbleImageView.image=bgImage.incoming
messageLabel.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
layoutAttribute = .Left
layoutConstant = 10
}else{
if message.isSent == 1 {
bubbleImageView.image = bgImage.outgoing
}
if message.isSent == 0 {
bubbleImageView.image = bgImage.notYetSent
}
messageLabel.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
layoutAttribute = .Right
layoutConstant = -10
}
contentView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: bubbleImageView, attribute: layoutAttribute, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: contentView, attribute: layoutAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: layoutConstant))
}
What is the problem with my code? It is working well for incoming messages (gray bubble) and not working well for outgoing messages (blue bubble)
I get it. You have to add a constraint that doesnt allows the bubble to exceed the max width. So you have to add a constraint like that:
let widthConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: youritem, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.Width, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.LessThanOrEqual,
toItem: self.youItem.superview, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.Width,
multiplier: 1.0, constant: 100)
