iOS: Can't change a width in a horizontal stackview
I'm starting with iOS app and creating a table view. In my table I have a cell like this.
Now I need to center the horizontal stackview with stars vertically and horizontally. This stackview has fixed width and height.
It have to look like this.
For this I put it in another horizontal stackview. I tried to add the same constraints to it as you see for the label
The problem is that this external stackview does not stretch like a label. I also see that it's width and height are greyed out, I cannot change them. Why?
Answer
There are many ways to autolayout this.
I think you should gain a better understanding of StackViews for future usage. I recommend reading on these resources:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uistackview https://www.raywenderlich.com/160646/uistackview-tutorial-introducing-stack-views-2
In order to achieve what you need:
1) Use only 1 horizontal StackView containing the stars. Constraint the stackview to the label by center horizontally.
2) Use 2 StackViews and keep your constraints. Outer stackview, change it to vertical axis and center alignment.
