How to addSubview to the bottom of view hierarchy

Question

I want to add mapView, which I'm adding programatically, to the bottom of hierarchy view, as I already draw some of the elements beforehand, in the storyboard.

So, after i call method:

[self.view addSubview:self.map];

How do I put it on the bottom of the view hierarchy ?!

You can use `- (void)insertSubview:(UIView *)view atIndex:(NSInteger)index` — Rok Jarc, Jan 26 '15 at 13:25

Just put it there directly instead.

[self.view insertSubview:_map atIndex:0];

"This method moves the specified view to the beginning of the array of views in the subviews property."

[self.view sendSubviewToBack:yourView];

How can you insert it at the absolute bottom of the screen for even the iPhone X (no safe zone)!? – Famic Tech Nov 21 '18 at 00:20

Answer by Robert and rcat24 does work. Alternatively,

You can use "zPosition"

subViewToBeOnTop.layer.zPosition=1.0;

subViewToBeOnBottom.layer.zPosition=.9;

1 being top most, 0 being least.
