Dynamic UITable from array constraints

Using Swift
1

Hey All,

I got a dynamic table which i fill using a an array. The problem is i have some issues setting the constraints.

This is the result i get.
Capture

The second part (second orange block) is barely visible. I would like to make the gray area bigger and add some padding inside the gray cell. Also i would like to add some space between the 2nd cell and the 3rd cell (and between the 4th and 5th cell and so on)

class CustomCell: UITableViewCell {

var parent: String?
var maintit: String?
var comments: String?

var parentView : UITextView = {
    var textView = UITextView()
    textView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints  = false
    textView.backgroundColor = orangeBanner
    return textView
    
}()

var mainView : UITextView = {
    var textView = UITextView()
    textView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints  = false
    textView.backgroundColor = grayBanner
    return textView
    
}()

var commentView : UITextView = {
    var textView = UITextView()
    textView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints  = false
   textView.backgroundColor = grayBanner
    return textView
    
}()



var intTitleTable: UITableView = {
    
    var m = UITableView()
    m.backgroundColor = grayBanner
    
    m.separatorStyle = .none
    return m
    
}()


override init(style: UITableViewCell.CellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?){
    super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
    self.addSubview(intTitleTable)
    self.addSubview(parentView)
    self.addSubview(mainView)
    self.addSubview(commentView)
    

    
    intTitleTable.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.leftAnchor).isActive = true
    intTitleTable.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.topAnchor).isActive = true
    
    intTitleTable.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 400).isActive = true
    intTitleTable.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 400).isActive = true

    parentView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.leftAnchor).isActive = true
    parentView.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.rightAnchor).isActive = true
    parentView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.intTitleTable.topAnchor).isActive = true
    parentView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
    
    
    mainView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
    mainView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.leftAnchor).isActive = true
    mainView.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.rightAnchor).isActive = true
    mainView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 30).isActive = true
   
    
   

    
    
}

override func layoutSubviews() {
    super.layoutSubviews()
    if let parent = parent {
        parentView.text = parent
        
    }
    if let maintit = maintit {
        mainView.text = maintit
        
    }

    
    
}


required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder){
    fatalError("init(coder:)  has not been implemented")
    
}

}

As this is more about table view cells than it is about Swift, you might have more luck asking it somewhere dedicated to UIKit questions, like the App Frameworks > Cocoa Touch topic area on DevForums.

For any1 whos wondering, or having the same problem. Solved it by using UIStackview. Thsi gives you the freedom to set the desired width and height.
