I've spent days trying to get this to work, but nothing seems to be going right.
What I'm trying to do is basically recreate this view (NOT the functionality):
However, I have a few extra requirements that I've set for myself. When the user moves their finger over one of the emojis, it should do two things:
- Scale the emoji x2
- Push the two emojis on either side further out
I don't need help with the above, I just wanted to explain what I want this view to do.
What I need help with is how I should put this view together.
I've tried using a Stack View, which I thought would work, but it doesn't seem to work very well with child views that have static widths (I want each emoji to be 32px wide and tall).
Then, after I put the stack view together, I implemented the scale x2 effect, which worked great, but then I had issues trying to push the two emojis on either side further out. I discovered setCustomSpacing, but this never worked no matter what I tried, and I have a feeling it's because I need my stack view's width to be dynamic (in order to add new emojis and remove old ones at will). The spacing never changed.
So I'm asking how you think I should put this view together? Should I stick with stack view? Why can't I get it to work? Or should I use a different view hierarchy altogether?
