How to add leading padding to view added inside an UIStackView

Question

This is my setup: I have an UIScrollView with leading,top, trialing edge set to 0. Inside this I add an UIStackView with this constraints:

stackView.centerYAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(selectedContactsScrollView.centerYAnchor).active = true  
stackView.leadingAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(selectedContactsScrollView.leadingAnchor).active = true

Inside the stack view I add some views.
My issue is that because of the constraints the first view added to stack view will also have leading edge = 0.

What are the ways that I could add some padding to the first view ? Without adjusting the scroll view constraints.

Answer 1

When isLayoutMarginsRelativeArrangement property is true, the stack view will layout its arranged views relative to its layout margins.

stackView.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 20, bottom: 0, right: 20)
stackView.isLayoutMarginsRelativeArrangement = true

But it affects all arranged views inside to the stack view. If you want this padding for only one arranged view, you need to use nested UIStackView
