-
setNeedsLayout — informs the system that the current view needs a layout update. Calling this method requests an update, but the update will occur later, in the next rendering cycle.
-
layoutIfNeeded — forces an immediate layout update if there is a pending layout request. If setNeedsLayout was called earlier, calling layoutIfNeeded will apply the changes immediately.
-
layoutSubviews — is a method overridden in a UIView subclass to define how its subviews should be laid out. It is called automatically by the system during layout updates, or can be called manually.
Example usage:
view.setNeedsLayout() // Mark that layout needs to be updated
view.layoutIfNeeded() // Immediately update layout if needed
// Overriding layoutSubviews
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
// Layout of subviews
}
