Favorite list iOS 6 position data

Question

I want to load my data from sqlite database and position it on the view (one photo and the description).

How can I put the data in position X and Y after load it from the database?

I did a image to explain it (I'm developing for iphone 5):

I think it maybe I can do it with CGRect but I don't know exactly how.

Answer 1

It's important to say that I used another better solution than that.

On the iOS 6 we have a new thing called: CollectionViewController

It's a really better solution for this problem.

Answer 2

Im not sure how to explain without giving a code as answer. but as a normal multidimension loop. Calculate the position and add the new image in the current subview (if able to do so).
The following not tested:

[EDIT: updated for correct indentation and syntax error]

   CGFloat IMAGE_WIDTH = 150;
   CGFloat IMAGE_HEIGHT = 150;
   CGFloat LABEL_PADDING = 10;

for (int i = 0; i < [TOTAL_ROWS]; i++) {
    // this is the initial frame for each row
    CGRect newFrame = CGRectMake(0, i * IMAGE_HEIGHT, IMAGE_WIDTH, IMAGE_HEIGHT);
    for (int j = 0; j < [TOTAL_COLUMNS]; j++) {
        // but for column we need to more the x.position so its not stacking on itself
        newFrame = CGRectMake(IMAGE_WIDTH * j,
                              newFrame.origin.y,
                              IMAGE_WIDTH,
                              IMAGE_HEIGHT);

        UIImageView *newImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:newFrame];
        newImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"];
         // create a label at the bottom of the image
        UILabel *newLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(newFrame.origin.x,
                                                                      newFrame.origin.y +
                                                                      newFrame.size.height +
                                                                      LABEL_PADDING,
                                                                      newFrame.size.width,
                                                                      newFrame.size.height)];
        [newLabel setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"description %d", j]];
        NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromCGRect(newFrame));
        [self.view addSubview: newImageView];
        [self.view addSubview: newLabel];
    }
}
