noob question about dynamic UI components

[dch]

I'm picking up iPhone dev now after experience programming for Android and Blackberry.

With Android and Blackberry, when you add a component to the screen, it adds below the last component added. If I added 2 UILabels for example, I would never have an issue with one overlapping the other.

So my problem: On one screen, there may be 1 button or 4 buttons displayed vertically. Then below the buttons is a UILabel. Do I always have to manage positioning of these components? Or can I define a layout where as I add components, it automatically determines the y position based on the the previous component's position?

Thanks.

For example, do I need to use CGRectMake? Or is there a layout manager I can use as an alternative and not pass the x/y coordinates?

	int x=0;
	while (anObject = [enumerator nextObject]) {
		UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
		button.tag = x+1;
		button.frame = CGRectMake(35, 10+40+5+45*x, 250, 40);
		[button setTitle:[anObject objectForKey:@"name"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
		[button addTarget:self action:@selector(teamPick:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
		[self.view addSubview:button];	
		x++;
	}

I believe what you are looking for is Interface Builder.
