Layout Constraint Errors with simple UIToolar for keyboard inputAccessoryView

S

19

I was getting a lot of layout constraint errors so I created a new project and simply have a UIToolbar and a UITextField to try and troubleshoot the problem. Even with a clean project, I still get strange errors even though I'm not overriding any constraints for the .inputAccessoryView.

The code is as follows (no storyboard content):

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    var aTextField = UITextField()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let aKeyboardToolBar = UIToolbar()

        // add buttons to the toolbar
        let prevButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "PREV", style: .done, target: self, action: #selector(prevButtonTapped))
        let nextButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "NEXT", style: .done, target: self, action: #selector(nextButtonTapped))
        let doneButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "DONE", style: .done, target: self, action: #selector(doneButtonTapped))
        let flexibleSpace = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .flexibleSpace, target: self, action: nil)

        aKeyboardToolBar.setItems([prevButton, nextButton, flexibleSpace, doneButton], animated: true)
        aKeyboardToolBar.sizeToFit()

        // Add first textfield
        view.addSubview(aTextField)
        aTextField.backgroundColor = .orange
        aTextField.placeholder = "Blank TextField"
        aTextField.inputAccessoryView = aKeyboardToolBar

        // Layout first text field
        aTextField.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        aTextField.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor, constant: 150).isActive = true
        aTextField.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor, constant: 20).isActive = true
        aTextField.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor, constant: -20).isActive = true
    }



    @objc func prevButtonTapped() {
        print("prevButtonTapped")
    }



    @objc func nextButtonTapped() {
        print("nextButtonTapped")
    }



    @objc func doneButtonTapped() {
        view.endEditing(true)
    }

}

The errors (KeyboardShifter is the name of the project):

    Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. 
    Try this: 
        (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; 
        (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.

Any ideas?

Change

let aKeyboardToolBar = UIToolbar()

to

let aKeyboardToolBar = UIToolbar(frame:CGRect(x:0, y:0, width:100, height:100))

That way it has some size to work with as you are giving it content.

Incredible... I can't believe this is a fix, but it worked for me. Is this documented somewhere or is there somewhere I can learn how to figure things like this out for myself? – Epicontinental 18/1, 2021 at 20:50

Interestingly you can't get rid of the warnings if you assign a width smaller than the button items (like in my case I provided 40x40 but it won't work until I change it to 100*40). lol – Monocotyledon 18/6, 2021 at 7:47

@WeiWANG Yes! I've noticed this but I couldn't work out what the minimum was. Thank you! – Morceau 18/6, 2021 at 9:14

I was getting the

Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints

error with the UIToolbar in my keyboard inputAccessoryView, but my UIToolbar's dimensions were already defined at instantiation:

@objc var accessoryDoneButton: UIBarButtonItem!
@objc var emptyButton: UIBarButtonItem!
@objc let accessoryToolBar = UIToolbar(frame: CGRect(x:0, y: 0,width:UIScreen.main.bounds.width, height:44))

I fixed my problem by altering the items in the UIToolBar:

    // Position dismiss button in the 3rd. space from the left side of toolbar.
//        self.accessoryToolBar.items = [self.emptyButton, self.emptyButton, self.emptyButton, self.accessoryDoneButton]
        self.accessoryToolBar.items = [self.accessoryDoneButton]
        self.symptomDescription.inputAccessoryView = self.accessoryToolBar

Since I don't need the autocorrection my solution was simply to set

textField.autocorrectionType = .no

In the app I'm writing right now the user can go back and forth between filling various textFields which can break the UIToolbar constraints.

I hope it can help someone!

This is very helpful! I find that by itself it is not sufficient; I needed my answer too (give the toolbar a decent size up front). But together, they did the trick. Of course we lose autocorrection but I don't really care. – Morceau 26/5, 2020 at 14:20
