ios6 - Evenly Space UIViews of equal sizes in superview using Auto Layout in iOS 6

Question

I am in a need of having the series of buttons to be evenly placed in superview Horizontally using Auto Layout. Here, I want to keep the sizes of the subviews same, only the center of the subviews will be placed in such a way that there is equal number of space between them.

Note: I dont want to set the Size of the superview, I want every thing to be Auto Layout-ed.

Please Help, I am stuck !!

Thanks!!

You can create as many UIView's as you have buttons, and center the buttons inside the views, the views can be aligned back to back, using this code:

[constraints addObjectsFromArray:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"H:|[view1][view2][view3]|"
                                                                         options:0
                                                                         metrics:nil
                                                                           views:views]];

Make sure you first remove existing constraints from the superview using:

[self.view removeConstraints:self.view.constraints];

and in the viewDidLoad turn off auto resizing conversion:

[self.view setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO];
