Building a titleView programmatically with constraints (or generally constructing a view with constraints)

Question

I\'m trying to build a titleView with constraints that looks like this:

I know how I would do

Answer 1

For combining auto-layout constraints inside titleView and hardcoded layout logic inside UINavigationBar you have to implement method sizeThatFits: inside your own custom titleView's class (subclass of UIView) like this:

- (CGSize)sizeThatFits:(CGSize)size
{
    return CGSizeMake(
        CGRectGetWidth(self.imageView.bounds) + CGRectGetWidth(self.labelView.bounds) + 5.f /* space between icon and text */,
        MAX(CGRectGetHeight(self.imageView.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(self.labelView.bounds))
    );
}
