Question

I have been programming android apps for a bit, and I am now making an iphone app. I want to make margins for my view. I would not like to explain my exact situation, but if someone helps me with this I’ll be able to figure out what I need to do.

I have two views, I want the first view to take up the entire screen. Then I want another view to always be, lets say 20 pixels from the edge of the screen on all four sides. Is there a simple way to do that in xcode?

Thanks

I assume you’re using Interface Builder (now part of Xcode).

Add the view as you suggest – leaving a 20 pixel border around all 4 sides. Set all 6 resize options (flexible height, width, top, bottom, left & right).

Ensure that ‘autoresize subviews’ is enabled on the parent view.

The view will now resize if the parent view also resizes, leaving a 20px margin as required.
