Question

I have added few UI components using Storyboard (UILabel, UIImageView). I am trying to put UIScrollView in this view, below all other elements:

Here is my code right at the end of -viewWillAppear method (code from my View Controller):

UIScrollView *scroll =  [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
scroll.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 480);
scroll.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = YES;

[self.view addSubview:scroll];
[self.view sendSubviewToBack:scroll];

The reason why I need a UIScrollView is large amount of text in detailsLabel – I’m attaching code I use for handling this label programatically:

    detailsLabel.text = @"Some long text taken from databse";
    [detailsLabel sizeToFit];
    detailsLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
    detailsLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;

What I am doing wrong? How do I put UIScrollView below all other elements of my main view?

I’ve followed the instructions in this answer and it worked great: I’ve changed the Custom Class in Identity Inspector from UIView to UIScrollView and added this line to my -viewDidLoad in the View Controller file:

[(UIScrollView *)self.view setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 700)];
