I'm trying to reproduce the UITableView section header view used by iOS for
regular text headers. Based on Reveal.app, I see that it's a view sized 540 x
34 that contains a UILabel (subclass) sized width x 21, positioned 40x5.
I wanted to add a UIActivityIndicator just to the end of the text label, so I
built up the same hierarchy in IB:
http://cl.ly/image/1L3q1b43471w
But that alone wasn't enough; iOS stretches my view to the full width of the
table, and squashes it vertically to something very short. So I tried adding a
height constraint in code, because IB doesn't let me add a height constraint to
a top-level view:
+ (UITableViewSectionHeaderWithActivityIndicator*)
instance
{
static UINib* sNib;
static dispatch_once_t sInit;
dispatch_once(&sInit,
^{
sNib = [UINib nibWithNibName:
@"UITableViewSectionHeaderWithActivityIndicator" bundle: nil];
});
NSArray* objs = [sNib instantiateWithOwner: nil options: nil];
UITableViewSectionHeaderWithActivityIndicator* v = objs.lastObject;
// IB won't let us add constraints to the top-level view…
//v.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false;
NSDictionary* metrics = @{ @"height" : @(v.frame.size.height) };
NSDictionary* views = @{ @"view" : v };
NSArray* constraints = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:
@"V:[view(height)]" options: 0 metrics: metrics views: views];
[v addConstraints: constraints];
return v;
}
This fails with:

So I tried setting translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints to false, but that
results in

So I commented out that line and then added the bottom space constraint in IB
(between the label and the container view, to force the view's height).
Any suggestions?
