NSLayoutConstraints to UITextField - Error

Question

I have a simple setup with 3 views:

view, which has 1 subview contentView, which has 1 subview emailField (a UITextField).

emailfField is not aligning in centerY correctly. I got is this error:

"<NSLayoutConstraint:0x9e7d500 UIView:0x9e85c30.centerY == UITextField:0x9e4dbd0.centerY>",
"<NSLayoutConstraint:0x9e7cc00 UIView:0x9e85530.top == UIView:0x9e85c30.top>",
"<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x9e7f950 h=--& v=--& UITextField:0x9e4dbd0.midY == + 282.5>",
"<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x9e81e90 h=--& v=--& UIView:0x9e85c30.midY == + 240>")

My .m file:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

[self initContentView];
[self initFirstView];
[self addConstraints];}

- (void)addConstraints {
[self.view addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.contentView

self.emailField.placeholder = @"Epasts";
[self.contentView addSubview:self.emailField];}

I really don't understand what's wrong. Aren't constraints set correctly?

Answer 1

Use setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints: to turn off conversion of autoresizing masks to constraints on contentView and emailField. Add additional constraints to emailField to specify the x position, width and height that it should use.
