layoutSubviews何时被调用

layoutSubviews何时调用的问题

layoutSubviews何时调用的问题，这个方法是当你需要在调整subview的大小的时候需要重写（我这个翻译不严谨，以下是原文：You should override this method only if the autoresizing behaviors of the subviews do not offer the behavior you want.），但有时候经常指望它被调用的时候没被调用，不希望它被调用的时候被调用了，搞的很上火。根据国外社区一个人帖子，做了总结性翻译。

layoutSubviews在以下情况下会被调用：

1、init初始化不会触发layoutSubviews

2、addSubview会触发layoutSubviews

3、设置view的Frame会触发layoutSubviews，当然前提是frame的值设置前后发生了变化

4、滚动一个UIScrollView会触发layoutSubviews

5、旋转Screen会触发父UIView上的layoutSubviews事件

6、改变一个UIView大小的时候也会触发父UIView上的layoutSubviews事件

UIView的layoutSubviews什么时候被调用

It’s important to optimize any UIView layoutSubviews method you create, as it can be frequently called, and has the potential for creating recursion (triggering a setNeedsLayout from layoutSubviews can create a loop that will grossly affect your apps performance). Layout subviews is called once per run loop on any view that has had setNeedsLayout or setNeedsDisplayWithRect: called on it. So in addition to any time you manually call these methods, it can be useful to know when the UI framework calls setNeedsLayout/setNeedsDisplay as this will trigger layoutSubviews.

For this purpose, I will define a few view relationships:

• View1 – UIView class, root view for examples
• View1.1 – UIScrollView class, subview of View1
• View1.1.1 – UIView class, subview of View1.1 (No autoresize mask)
• View1.1.2 – UIView class, another subview of View1.1 (Autoresize mask – flexible width)

I then ran the following tests.  An X means the view was layed out

From this I surmise the following:

• init does not cause layoutSubviews to be called (duh)
• addSubview causes layoutSubviews to be called on the view being added, the view it’s being added to (target view), and all the subviews of the target view
• setFrame intelligently calls layoutSubviews on the view having it’s frame set only if the size parameter of the frame is different
• scrolling a UIScrollView causes layoutSubviews to be called on the scrollView, and it’s superview
• rotating a device only calls layoutSubview on the parent view (the responding viewControllers primary view)
• removeFromSuperview – layoutSubviews is called on superview only (not show in table)

Hopefully this is helpful information for you as well.

I find that resizing (not moving, only resizing) any subview causes the superview to get -layoutSubviews sent to it, which I found unexpected. From your table it doesn’t look like you tested that case.
