How to position a UIView?

Question

I spent a couple of hours trying to position a UIView and eventually figured out that I needed to modify the views frame. So I added a \'setPosition\' method to the UIViewContro

Answer 1

Other way:

CGPoint position = CGPointMake(100,30);
[self setFrame:(CGRect){.origin = position,.size = self.frame.size}];

This i save size parameters and change origin only.

Answer 2

Copying, Modifying and setting the frame again like you have done here is how this is generally done. This can also be done by creating a rect and setting it directly:

UIView.frame = CGRectMake(50,50,50,50);//x,y,w,h

Doing this in an animation block will animate these changes.

Alternitively you can set a views Center point with :

UIView.center = CGPointMake(50,50);
