I want to create a constraint that is 80 percent of the width of the uiview controller not a 100 percent which is what it is now. I tried using the var percent but its not working. The code should be centered on the y axis. So 10 percent on the left side and ride side are not covered by the constraint. I am trying to do this in a stack view.
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
//Image View
let percent = ((UIScreen.main.bounds.midY) + (UIScreen.main.bounds.maxX * 0.8))
//Text Label
let textLabel = UILabel()
textLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.yellow
textLabel.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: self.view.frame.width * percent).isActive = true
textLabel.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 20.0).isActive = true
textLabel.text = "Hi World"
textLabel.textAlignment = .center
//Stack View
let stackView = UIStackView()
stackView.axis = NSLayoutConstraint.Axis.vertical
stackView.distribution = UIStackView.Distribution.equalSpacing
stackView.alignment = UIStackView.Alignment.center
stackView.spacing = 16.0
stackView.addArrangedSubview(textLabel)
stackView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
self.view.addSubview(stackView)
//Constraints
stackView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
stackView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
}
}
Set the widthAnchor of stackView with that of superView's width (in this case view controller's view) and set multiplier value as 0.80
stackView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.widthAnchor, multiplier: 0.80).isActive = true
