float:left in objective-c

Question

I\'m trying to make a bunch of buttons behave somewhat like float:left in CSS. So whenever the view changes size, on orientation change for example, the buttons should adjust so

Answer 1

If you had to implement this manually (by overriding layoutSubviews), I think the algorithm would be something like this:

1. Start with X = 0, Y = 0 (assuming flipped coordinates)
2. For each button:
   1. If (X + button width) > container width, set X = 0, increase Y
   2. Place button at (X, Y)
   3. Increase X by button's width
