Is it possible to use AutoLayout with UITableView's tableHeaderView?

Question

Since I discovered AutoLayout I use it everywhere, now I\'m trying to use it with a tableHeaderView.

I made a subclass of

Answer 1

My table header view is a UIView subclass - I created a single contentView UIView within the initializer, with its bounds the same as the table header view's frame and added all my objects as a subview of that.

Then add the constraints for your objects within the table header view's layoutSubviews method rather than within the initializer. That solved the crash.

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 44.0)];
    if (self) {
        UIView *contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.bounds];
        contentView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;

        // add other objects as subviews of content view

    }
    return self;
}

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];

    // remake constraints here
}
