This line of code fixes the space in the detail view. However... in the list view the title has become a lot smaller too.
.navigationBarTitle(Text("Egg management"), displayMode: .inline)
Added on the 23th of July:
Thanks to the tips I made a lot of progress. Especially the tip to add borders does wonders. You see exactly what happens!
However, there seems to be a difference between the Xcode Preview canvas, the simulator and the physical device. Is this a bug because -after all- it is still beta? Or is there anything I can do?
As you can see in the images... only in the Xcode Preview canvas the view connects to the top of the screen.
I believe it has something to do with the tabbar. Since when I look at the Xcode Preview canvas with the tabbar... that space above is also there. Any idea how to get rid of that?

This is my code for a detailed list view:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentDetail : View {
#State var photo = true
var text = "Een kip ..."
var imageList = "Dag-3"
var day = "3.circle"
var date = "9 augustus 2019"
var imageDetail = "Day-3"
var weight = "35.48"
var body: some View {
VStack (alignment: .center, spacing: 10) {
Text(date)
.font(.title)
.fontWeight(.medium)
ZStack (alignment: .topLeading){
Image(photo ? imageDetail : imageList)
.resizable()
.aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
.background(Color.black)
.padding(.trailing, 0)
.tapAction {
self.photo.toggle() }
HStack {
Image(systemName: day)
.resizable()
.padding(.leading, 10)
.padding(.top, 10)
.frame(width: 40, height: 32)
.foregroundColor(.white)
Spacer()
Image(systemName: photo ? "photo" : "pencil.circle")
.resizable()
.padding(.trailing, 10)
.padding(.top, 10)
.frame(width: 32, height: 32)
.foregroundColor(.white)
}
}
Text(text)
.lineLimit(6)
.frame(minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
.padding(.leading, 6)
} .padding(20)
}
}
#if DEBUG
struct ContentDetail_Previews : PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentDetail()
}
}
#endif
Also included is the preview canvas. What I don't get is how I can make sure the text and photo are aligned to the top (instead of the middle). I tried with Spacers, padding etc.
I must be overseeing something small I guess... but. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks.

After both answers I added a Spacer() after the last text. In Xcode in the preview canvas everything looks okay now. But on my connected iPhone 7 Plus there are some problems: the view is not aligned to the top, and the image is cropped (icon on the right is gone; white banding to the right).
Adding a Spacer() after the last text shifts everything to the top. Tested on iPhone Xr simulator (not preview).
...
Text(text)
.lineLimit(6)
.frame(minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
.padding(.leading, 6)
Spacer()
}
To remove the space at the top:
VStack {
...
}
.padding(20)
.navigationBarTitle("TITLE", displayMode: .inline)
Think in terms of what a Spacer() does. It "moves" the views as far apart as it can - at least, without a specific space.
So you have this:
VStack {
Text
ZStack {
Image
HStack {
Image
Spacer()
Image
}
}
Text
}
All told, going from inner to outer, you have a horizontal stack of two images placed as far apart (the spacer is between them) inside of a "Z axis" stack that places an image on top of them, inside of a vertical stack that has some text above it.
So if you want to move everything in that vertical stack to the top, you simply need to add one last spacer:
VStack {
Text
ZStack {
Image
HStack {
Image
Spacer()
Image
}
}
Text
Spacer() // <-- ADD THIS
}
Last note: Don't be afraid to adding additional "stacks" to your view. In terms of memory footprint, it's really just a single view with no performance hit.
EDIT: I took your original view and changed everything to placeholders...
var body: some View {
VStack (alignment: .center, spacing: 10) {
Text("Text #1")
.font(.title)
.fontWeight(.medium)
ZStack (alignment: .topLeading) {
Text( "Image #1")
HStack {
Text("Image #2")
Spacer()
Text("Image #3")
}
}
Text("Text #2")
.lineLimit(6)
.frame(minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
.padding(.leading, 6)
} .padding(20)
}
As expected, everything is vertically centered. Adding a Spacer() below "Text #2" throws everything to the top. A couple of thoughts:
Starting there, and add in your Image views one by one. Add in the modifiers like that also.
I don't have the specific images you are rendering, so maybe put a noticeable background color on various things (orange is my personal favorite) and see if the top Image is actually on top but the image makes it appear as though it isn't. A border would work pretty well too.

I have a VStack that contains an Image and a Text. I am setting the width (and height) of the Image to be half of the screen's width:
struct PopularNow: View {
let item = popular[0]
var body: some View {
VStack(spacing: 5) {
Image(item.image)
.resizable()
.aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
.frame(width: getRect().width/2, height: getRect().width/2)
Text(item.description)
.font(.caption)
.fontWeight(.bold)
.lineLimit(0)
}
.padding()
.background(Color.gray.opacity(0.1))
.cornerRadius(15)
}
func getRect() -> CGRect {
return UIScreen.main.bounds
}
}
The problem is that the Text pushes and causes the VStack to expand instead of respecting the Image's width. How can I tell the Text to not grow horizontally more than the Image width and to grow "vertically" (i.e. add as many lines it needs)? I know that I can add the frame modifier to VStack itself, but it seems like a hack. I want to tell the Text to only take as much space width wise as VStack already has, not more.
This is what it looks like right now, as you can see the VStack is not half the screen's size, it's full screen size because the Text is expanding it.
Try to fix its size, like
VStack(spacing: 5) {
Image(item.image)
.resizable()
.aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
.frame(width: getRect().width/2, height: getRect().width/2)
Text(item.description)
.font(.caption)
.fontWeight(.bold)
.lineLimit(0)
}
.fixedSize() // << here !!
// .fixedSize(horizontal: true, vertical: false) // alternate
.padding()
I have a ZStack in which an Image is presented.
The image needs to be scaled in some cases.
I am failing on aligning the scaled image on the bottom of the ZStack, it is always presented in the middle.
I tried ZStack(alignment: .bottom) in combination with .alignmentGuide(.bottom) for the image, but this does not change the outcome.
Also putting a VStack around the image and placing a Spacer() above it does not change the result.
The HStack is not relevant and is only shown, because I need an ZStack in this construct. But The main issue is with the VStack, that it does not move after scaling in the Space of the ZStack.
It seems like .scaleEffect just uses position and frame of the original image and places the scaled image in the middle. Is this a limitation of scaleEffect? What other function can be used?
This is my View (reduced code): // I colored the background purple, to show the full size of the ZStack
var body: some View {
ZStack(alignment: .bottom) {
Color.purple
Image(battlingIndividual.getMonster().getStatusImageName(battlingIndividual.status))
.resizable()
.scaledToFill()
.scaleEffect(battlingIndividual.getMonster().size.scaleValue)
HStack() {
SkillViews(battlingIndividual: battlingIndividual)
Spacer()
}
}
}
The outcome is this:
But it should look like this:
EDIT: I added a Background to the image, in order to show that the image is centered in the ZStack.
Solution:
We don´t need an alignment in this case, we need an anchor:
.scaleEffect(battlingIndividual.getMonster().size.scaleValue, anchor: .bottom)
Solution Image:
I figured it out.
.scaleEffect uses its own anchor, which can be set to .bottom.
scaleEffect(_:anchor:) Apple Developer
Therefore I needed only to add "ancor: .bottom" to the scaleEffect.
.scaleEffect(battlingIndividual.getMonster().size.scaleValue, anchor:
.bottom)
for the following result:
I assume this view container ZStack is a one cell view, so you need to align not ZStack which tights to content, but entire HStack containing those monster cells, like
HStack(alignment: .bottom) { // << here !!
ForEach ... {
MonsterCellView()
}
}
Please, put your Image in a VStack and a Spacer() above the image and your Images will be on the bottom of the Stack. The alignment .bottom is only to aline multiple views with each other, but you are not having multiple views in your Stack. The HStack doesn't count for the alignment.
If I try this out in my example and scale the image down,
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Color.purple
VStack {
Spacer()
Image(systemName: "ladybug")
.resizable()
.scaledToFit()
.frame(width: 100, height: 100, alignment:
HStack {
Image(systemName: "hare")
.resizable()
.frame(width: 50, height: 50)
Image(systemName: "hare")
.resizable()
.frame(width: 50, height: 50)
Image(systemName: "hare")
.resizable()
.frame(width: 50, height: 50)
Spacer()
}
}
}
}
}
I get this.

I was trying to show multiple clickable images within NavigationView/NagivationLink container(s).
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
ForEach(self.sets) { set in
NavigationLink(destination: ExerciseVideoView(items: set.items )) {
Image("group-\(set.purpose)")
.resizable()
.frame(height: 300, alignment: .leading)
}
}
}
}
}
But the images are not shown.
When i remove NavigationView & NagivationLink lines - everything goes well, apart from making the images clickable of course. Here's how the screen looks like when images are shown:
and this is what happens when i uncomment NavigationView & NagivationLink lines:
Could you please explain me why are not they shown when i use NagivationLink?
Thanks!
The NavigationLink interprets images by default as template rendering mode, so you have to specify explicitly
NavigationLink(destination: ExerciseVideoView(items: set.items )) {
Image("group-\(set.purpose)")
.resizable()
.renderingMode(.original) // << here !!
.frame(height: 300, alignment: .leading)
}
I'm trying to center a bunch of views in a VStack within a ScrollView in SwiftUI. To simplify things, I'm just trying to get it to work with a single Text view. Here's what I've come up with so far:
var body: some View {
ScrollView(alwaysBounceVertical: true){
HStack(alignment: .center) {
Spacer()
Text("This Is a Test")
Spacer()
} //HStack
.background(Color.green)
} //ScrollView
.background(Color.gray)
}
This results in this:
I want the text to be in the middle like this:
So the HStack should be full-width and the Text should be centered within it. It seems like this should be easy, but I don't get what I'm doing wrong. :)
Using GeometryReader, you can get information about the size of the containing view and use that to size your view.
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in <--- Added
ScrollView(alwaysBounceVertical: true){
HStack(alignment: .center) {
Spacer()
Text("This Is a Test")
Spacer()
} //HStack
.frame(width: geometry.size.width) <--- Added
.background(Color.green)
} //ScrollView
.background(Color.gray)
}
}
edit: after looking into this more, it seems that part of the problem is that you are using a ScrollView. If you remove that parent, the spacers in the HStack will automatically cause stretching to fill the view. I'm guessing the automatic stretching doesn't happen in ScrollViews because there's no finite limit to how big it can be, how much would it stretch? (because a ScrollView can scroll in any direction)
This seems to be a bug in Xcode 11.0 beta, ScrollView content wouldn't fill the scroll view. If you replace the ScrollView with a List it will work as expected. But if you have to use a scroll view, one workaround is to fix the scroll view's content width.
So your code will look something like this:
ScrollView(alwaysBounceVertical: true) {
HStack(alignment: .center) {
Spacer()
Text("This Is a Test")
Spacer()
} // HStack
.frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width) // set a fixed width
.background(Color.green)
} // ScrollView
.background(Color.gray)
Result:
You should use the modifier frame and set its maxWidth: .infinity.
So it tells its parent: "the wider, the better" :)
var body: some View {
ScrollView(.vertical, showsIndicators: true){
HStack(alignment: .center) {
Spacer()
Text("This Is a Test")
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity) // <- this
Spacer()
} //HStack
.background(Color.green)
} //ScrollView
.background(Color.gray)
}
And this works regardless its parent.
Scrollview or whatever View it's set in.

I have Button
struct ContentView : View {
var body: some View {
HStack {
Button(action: {}) {
Text("MyButton")
.color(.white)
.font(Font.system(size: 17))
}
.frame(height: 56)
.background(Color.red, cornerRadius: 0)
}
}
}
But I want to pin it to supreview's edges (trailing to superview's trailing and leading). Like this:
HStack doesn't help me, and it's expecting.
Fixed frame or width equals UIScree.size are not flexible solutions.
You need to use .frame(minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity) modifier
Add the next code
Button(action: tap) {
Text("Button")
.frame(minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity)
.background(Color.red)
}
.padding(.horizontal, 20)
Padding modifiers will allow you to have some space from the edge.
Keep in mind that the order of modifiers is essential. Because modifiers are functions that are wrapping the view below (they do not change properties of views)
You can use GeometryReader: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/geometryreader
According to Apple:
This view returns a flexible preferred size to its parent layout.
It is a flexible solution, as it changes according to the parent layout changes.
Here's a pure SwiftUI solution where you want to fill the width of the parent but constrain the height to an arbitrary aspect ratio (say you want square images):
Image("myImage")
.resizable()
.scaledToFill()
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity)
.aspectRatio(16.0 / 9.0, contentMode: .fit)
Just replace 16.0 / 9.0 with whatever aspect ratio you want.
I spent about a day trying to figure this out because I didn't want to use GeometryReader or UIScreen.main.bounds (which isn't cross-platform)
Edit: Found an even simpler way.
Simple adding following to your code will make the button extend edge to edge. (You can add padding as well if you want)
.frame(minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity)
The entire Button code will look like this:
struct ContentView : View {
var body: some View {
HStack {
Button(action: {}) {
Text("MyButton")
.color(.white)
.font(Font.system(size: 17))
}
.frame(minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity)
.padding(.top, 8)
.padding(.bottom, 8)
.background(Color.red, cornerRadius: 0)
}
}
}
I found one solution:
var body: some View {
Button(action: {}) {
HStack {
Spacer()
Text("MyButton")
.color(.white)
.font(Font.system(size: 17))
Spacer()
}
.frame(height: 56)
.background(Color.red, cornerRadius: 0)
}.padding(20)
}
But I'm not sure that it is the best. May be someone will find more elegant solution/
