How can I programmatically position a view using relative points?

What is the best way to position a view relative to its supervisor size when the boundaries of the supervisor are not yet known?

I am trying to avoid hard coding coordinates, if at all possible. Perhaps this is stupid, and if so, then this is a perfectly acceptable answer.

I came across this many times when working with the user interface. The most recent example: I'm trying to replace the heading with text UINavigationItemwith a custom view. I want this view to fill the supervisor, but in addition, I want UIActivityIndicatorViewto insert about 2 pixels on the right side and vertically in the center. Here is the code:

- (void) viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    customTitleView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    customTitleView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;

    titleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    titleLabel.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
    titleLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
    titleLabel.numberOfLines = 2;
    titleLabel.minimumFontSize = 11.0;
    titleLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:17.0];
    titleLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;
    [customTitleView addSubview:titleLabel];

    spinnerView = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhite];
    spinnerView.center = CGPointMake(customTitleView.bounds.size.width - (spinnerView.bounds.size.width / 2) - 2,
                                     customTitleView.bounds.size.height / 2);
    spinnerView.hidesWhenStopped = YES;
    [customTitleView addSubview:spinnerView];

    self.navigationItem.titleView = customTitleView;
    [customTitleView release];
}

: customTitleView.bounds - . , , - (, ).
