iOS开发-VFL(Visual format language)和Autolayout
AutoLayout不管是在StoryBorad还是在xib中都相对来说比较简单,VFL(Visual fromat language)可视化语言基本上用到的比较少,在xCode4时候自动布局的概念还没有,直接使用VFL会很方便,可视化语言依赖于oc运行时创建对应的约束,如果IBOutlet发生改变有的时候会造成莫名其妙的Bug。xCode5之后可视化语言用到的场景相对较少,但是作为一个工作的辅助还是可以稍微了解下。
基础知识
在StotyBoard中添加一个标签一个按钮,不适用自动布局,简单的控制它们之间的水平距离为80,如下图所示:
视图中添加约束:
NSLayoutConstraint *labelContraint=[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.changeButton attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.descriptionLabel attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight multiplier:1.0 constant:60]; [self.view addConstraint:labelContraint];
这个只是视图约束的一种方式,下面这种方式才是本文的主角:
//使用可视化语言添加约束 NSDictionary *viewDictionary=NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(_descriptionLabel,_changeButton); NSArray *visualConstraint=[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"[_descriptionLabel]-60-[_changeButton]" options:0 metrics:nil views:viewDictionary]; [self.view addConstraints:visualConstraint];
这里面用到的constraintsWithVisualFormat方法,具体参数说明如下:
format:参数是vfl语句,语句的基本元素下面会详细解释一下;
opts:枚举参数,默认写0;
metrics:字典,当在format中使用了动态数据,会根据字典去匹配,接下来会具体有例子;
views:字典,传入需要用到的视图集合;
具体format需要参考一下表达式的意思:
水平方向 H:
垂直方向 V:
Views [需要定义的视图]
SuperView |

Demo实战
通过VFL控制手动添加的标签的位置,具体效果如下:
代码实现如下:
UILabel *link=[[UILabel alloc]init]; link.text=@"http://www.cnblogs.com/xiaofeixiang"; link.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints=NO; [link setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]]; [self.view addSubview:link]; NSArray *horizontal=[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"H:|-40-[link]-20-|" options:0 metrics:nil views:NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(link)]; NSArray *vertical=[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:[_descriptionLabel]-100-[link(>=30)]" options:0 metrics:nil views:NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(link,_descriptionLabel)]; [self.view addConstraints:horizontal]; [self.view addConstraints:vertical];
第一个约束是控制标签距离父视图左右之间的距离,第二个控制标签和”博客园-FlyElephant"之间的垂直距离为100.当然如果你想通过字典控制垂直之间的距离可以按照下面这么做:
NSArray *vertical=[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:[_descriptionLabel]-Vertical-[link(>=30)]" options:0 metrics:@{@"Vertical":@200} views:NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(link,_descriptionLabel)];
最后的结果:
友情提示在添加约束的时候不要和StoryBoard中的冲突,如果添加的水平约束StoryBoard中也有的话,就会出现下面这种情况:
