UIView inside custom UITableViewCell wrong width / height

Question

I ran into the following problem. I have a custom class UITableViewCell with a few UIViews inside, which act as container for chartviews. The problem is if I do the following:

self.upperLeftChart = XYPieChart(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.upperLeftContainer.frame.width, self.upperLeftContainer.frame.height))
self.upperLeftContainer.addSubview(self.upperLeftChart)

The Chartview is as big as the whole UITableViewCell instead of the size of my container. If I print the size of my container

NSLog("\(self.upperLeftContainer.frame.width) / \(self.upperLeftContainer.frame.height)")

it prints: 320.0 / 568.0 which is wrong. My container is about a quarter of the whole cell.

I guess it hast something to do with my Autolayout + Constraints. If I set the size to 120x120px hardcoded, it works nicely.

Any trick to get the real width and height of UIView arranged with autolayout and constraints?

What you need to do is to override

override func layoutSubviews() {
    super.layoutSubviews()
    self.upperLeftCart.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.upperLeftContainer.frame.width, self.upperLeftContainer.frame.height)
}

That way it will change frame of the view every time cell resizes
