我有一个UITableViewController，如果没有内容可显示，则不显示任何部分。我添加了一个标签，向用户指示此代码无任何显示：

label = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(20, 20, 250, 100))
label.text = "Nothing to show"
self.tableView.addSubview(label)

但是现在，我希望它在水平和垂直方向上居中。通常，我会选择屏幕快照中突出显示的两个选项（高和宽另加一个）：

我尝试了以下代码来添加约束，但应用程序因错误而崩溃：

label = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(20, 20, 250, 100))
label.text = "Nothing to show"

let xConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .CenterX, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: self.tableView, attribute: .CenterX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
let yConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .CenterY, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: self.tableView, attribute: .CenterY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)

label.addConstraint(xConstraint)
label.addConstraint(yConstraint)

错误：

When added to a view, the constraint's items must be descendants of that view (or the view itself). This will crash if the constraint needs to be resolved before the view hierarchy is assembled. Break on -[UIView _viewHierarchyUnpreparedForConstraint:] to debug.

标签应始终水平和垂直居中，因为该应用程序支持设备的旋转。

我究竟做错了什么？如何成功添加这些约束？

谢谢！

Swift 3 / Swift 4更新：

从iOS 8开始，您可以并且应该通过将其isActive属性设置为来激活约束true。这使约束能够将自身添加到适当的视图中。您可以通过将包含约束的数组传递到来一次激活多个约束NSLayoutConstraint.activate()

let label = UILabel(frame: CGRect.zero)
label.text = "Nothing to show"
label.textAlignment = .center
label.backgroundColor = .red  // Set background color to see if label is centered
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
self.tableView.addSubview(label)

let widthConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .width, relatedBy: .equal,
                                         toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 250)

let heightConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .height, relatedBy: .equal,
                                          toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 100)

let xConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .centerX, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: self.tableView, attribute: .centerX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)

let yConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .centerY, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: self.tableView, attribute: .centerY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)

NSLayoutConstraint.activate([widthConstraint, heightConstraint, xConstraint, yConstraint])

更好的解决方案：

由于最初回答了这个问题，因此引入了布局锚点，使创建约束更加容易。在此示例中，我创建了约束并立即激活它们：

label.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 250).isActive = true
label.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100).isActive = true
label.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.tableView.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
label.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.tableView.centerYAnchor).isActive = true

或相同的使用NSLayoutConstraint.activate()：

NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
    label.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 250),
    label.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100),
    label.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.tableView.centerXAnchor),
    label.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.tableView.centerYAnchor)
])

注意：在创建和激活约束之前，始终将子视图添加到视图层次结构中。

原始答案：

约束条件参考self.tableView。由于您将标签添加为的子视图self.tableView，因此需要将约束添加到“公共祖先”：

   self.tableView.addConstraint(xConstraint)
   self.tableView.addConstraint(yConstraint)

正如@mustafa和@kcstricks在评论中指出的那样，您需要设置 label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints为false。当你这样做，你还需要指定width，并height因为框架不再使用有约束的标签。最后，您还应该将设置为，textAlignment以.Center使文本位于标签的中心。

    var  label = UILabel(frame: CGRectZero)
    label.text = "Nothing to show"
    label.textAlignment = .Center
    label.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()  // Set background color to see if label is centered
    label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    self.tableView.addSubview(label)

    let widthConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .Width, relatedBy: .Equal,
        toItem: nil, attribute: .NotAnAttribute, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 250)
    label.addConstraint(widthConstraint)

    let heightConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .Height, relatedBy: .Equal,
        toItem: nil, attribute: .NotAnAttribute, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 100)
    label.addConstraint(heightConstraint)

    let xConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .CenterX, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: self.tableView, attribute: .CenterX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)

    let yConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .CenterY, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: self.tableView, attribute: .CenterY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)

    self.tableView.addConstraint(xConstraint)
    self.tableView.addConstraint(yConstraint)

容器中心

以下代码与在Interface Builder中居中的功能相同。

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // set up the view
    let myView = UIView()
    myView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
    myView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    view.addSubview(myView)

    // Add code for one of the constraint methods below
    // ...
}

方法1：锚样式

myView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
myView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor).isActive = true

方法2：NSLayoutConstraint样式

NSLayoutConstraint(item: myView, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.centerX, relatedBy: NSLayoutConstraint.Relation.equal, toItem: view, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.centerX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0).isActive = true
NSLayoutConstraint(item: myView, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.centerY, relatedBy: NSLayoutConstraint.Relation.equal, toItem: view, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.centerY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0).isActive = true

笔记

• 相对于NSLayoutConstraint样式，锚定样式是首选的方法，但是仅在iOS 9中可用，因此，如果您支持iOS 8，则仍应使用NSLayoutConstraint样式。
• 您还需要添加长度和宽度约束。
• 我的完整答案在这里。

相当于ObjectiveC的是：

    myView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;

    [[myView.centerXAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.view.centerXAnchor] setActive:YES];

    [[myView.centerYAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.view.centerYAnchor] setActive:YES];

通过编程，您可以通过添加以下约束来做到这一点。

NSLayoutConstraint *constraintHorizontal = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self  
                                                                      attribute:NSLayoutAttributeCenterX 
                                                                      relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual 
                                                                         toItem:self.superview 
                                                                      attribute:attribute 
                                                                     multiplier:1.0f 
                                                                       constant:0.0f];

NSLayoutConstraint *constraintVertical = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self
                                                                        attribute:NSLayoutAttributeCenterY 
                                                                        relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
                                                                           toItem:self.superview 
                                                                        attribute:attribute 
                                                                       multiplier:1.0f
                                                                         constant:0.0f];

在Swift 5中，它看起来像这样：

label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: vc.view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
label.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: vc.view.centerYAnchor).isActive = true

如果您不关心这个问题是关于表视图的，而是只想将一个视图居于另一视图之上，则可以这样做：

    let horizontalConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: newView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterX, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: parentView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
    parentView.addConstraint(horizontalConstraint)

    let verticalConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: newView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterY, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: parentView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
    parentView.addConstraint(verticalConstraint)

我的解决方案是创建一个UILabel并将其添加UIButton为子视图。最后，我添加了一个约束以使其在按钮内居中。

UILabel * myTextLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 75, 75)];
myTextLabel.text = @"Some Text";
myTextLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false;

[myButton addSubView:myTextLabel];

// Add Constraints
[[myTextLabel centerYAnchor] constraintEqualToAnchor:myButton.centerYAnchor].active = true;
[[myTextLabel centerXAnchor] constraintEqualToAnchor:myButton.centerXAnchor].active = true;
