I am new to swift - I want to add a label ONTO the ui image view image in a collectionview, however i am having some issues. The text sits below the image view, how can i adjust it so it stays in the middle of the image. I want to do this in code and not use storyboards or a nib file. I believe it may be due to my frames i have set:
import UIKit
class ExploreCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell {
static let identifier = "ExploreCollectionViewCell"
private let label: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.textColor = .white
label.font = UIFont(name: Settings.shared.MAIN_APP_FONT_BOLD, size: 13)
return label
}()
private let imageView: UIImageView = {
let imageView = UIImageView()
imageView.clipsToBounds = true
imageView.layer.cornerRadius = 0
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
return imageView
}()
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
contentView.addSubview(label)
contentView.addSubview(imageView)
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
fatalError()
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
label.frame = CGRect(x: 5, y: 0, width: contentView.frame.size.width-10, height: 50)
//imageView.frame = contentView.bounds
imageView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 250, height: 250)
}
override func prepareForReuse() {
super.prepareForReuse()
imageView.image = nil
}
func configure(with urlString: String, label: String) {
guard let url = URL(string: urlString) else {
return
}
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { [weak self] data, _, error in
guard let data = data, error == nil else {
return
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self?.label.text = label
let image = UIImage(data: data)
self?.imageView.image = image
}
}
task.resume()
}
}

First, add the imageView before adding the label, so that it will be shown behind the label:
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
contentView.addSubview(imageView) // behind
contentView.addSubview(label) // front
}
Second, it would be easier to use auto layout:
imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
imageView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 250).isActive = true
imageView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 250).isActive = true
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: imageView.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
label.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: imageView.widthAnchor).isActive = true
