I'm doing the crystal ball extra credit, and have got the button to appear on the 4.0 screen, but not the 3.5 inch screen. Has anyone used constraints programmatically? I've been looking at some documentation, but It's a little confusing. If anyone could help that would be great!!! Amit Bijlani

Courses Plus Student 13,560 PointsHello tristan,
May i simply say auto layout programmatically really freakin sucks, I made a project with it and you have to really think about what might i be missing and xCode won't tell what you're missing and you app will crash if you're missing constraints. You probably have seen something like this if you've been googling a while,
@"[object1]--[object2]--[object3]"
this is the string constraints and, because it's a string, has no auto complete making it quite typo prone and can crash really easily if done wrong. auto layout is one of those thing that make me want to switch to interface builder so my life will be easier but I simple do it in code.
anyways, if you've googled it you'll know it's kind of a pain, but it is unfortunately one of those things that is just like that.
sorry for the bad news, Kai
