Horizontal UIScrollView inside custom UITableViewCell - using IB Storyboard - Not scrolling

Question

The main goal is to be able to scroll each row's content horizontally.

I'm trying to do this with X Code 5 and using StoryBoard.

The problem seems to be simple, but after many hours of searching I got nothing except for one problem that is somewhat similar but using programatic only approachsee here.

In IB, I have the structure as shown in the design below.

• The content size of the scrollview in set to {5000, 500} set both in IB and in code
• The scrollview frame is {0,0}{320,44}
• The labels frame is set to {20,0}{500,44}

I've also provided an example project in a github repository. The example also includes a "normal" scrollview working outside of a uitableviewcell.

Please say that I overlooked something very basic.

Another alternative for this is to use UICollectionView inside a custom UITableViewCell

Autolayout is activated (and that's a good thing) in your storyboard. The scrollable size of a UIScrollView is computed based on the constraints of its subviews.

So you need to add "top, bottom, leading, trailing space to superview" on the UIImageView inside the UIScrollView. They can be all set to 0.

Now if you don't add any constraint to the UIImageView then its intrinsicContentSize size will be used.

Your constraints should look like this:

Note that you were also missing constraints on the content view of your cell.

When you're done with the constraints, remove all the setContentSize: calls from your code.
