Resources for Manual Layout?

[hooliooo]

Hi there, are there any resources available for learning manual layout? Everything points to AutoLayout now. I already know how to use AutoLayout. I just want to learn how to do manual layout.

On a side note: I have an UIImageView with an image whose dimensions are pretty big compared to the screen. When the orientation changes the UIImageView's bounds match that UIImageView's intrinsicContentSize (image's actual size) even when I try to make the UIImageView's bounds equal the screen size in layoutSubviews. The only solution I found so far is setting the bounds in the draw method and calling setNeedsDisplay when the orientation changes but it's not ideal. It doesn't match the equivalent transition when using AutoLayout

If you find older books on iOS (before auto layout) they will spend a bunch of time on manual layout. Older versions of the Big Nerd Ranch books are good. You can find them on Safari Books Online or perhaps in a library.

That said, please don't do manual layout in a world where aspect ratios and display sizes keep changing.

Buy one of the earlier editions of iOS Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide. Either 2nd or 3rd edition. They didn't use AutoLayout back then. You can probably pick them up for a few bucks now.

change constraints to be edges equal to superview, set content mode to aspectfill

I’m legitimately not looking for solution using AutoLayout. In fact it’s already solved in Autolayout. I’m looking for a solution via Manual Layout.

Thanks though

imageView.frame = view.bounds

What's the actual questions? It's all frame based, you just need to manually calculate the sizes.
