For this purpose, I will define a few view relationships:
- View1 – UIView class, root view for examples
- View1.1 – UIScrollView class, subview of View1
- View1.1.1 – UIView class, subview of View1.1 (No autoresizemask)
- View1.1.2 – UIView class, another subview of View1.1(Autoresize mask – flexible width)
I then ran the following tests. An X means theview was layed out
From this I surmise the following:
- init does not cause layoutSubviews to be called (duh)
- addSubview causes layoutSubviews to be called on the view beingadded, the view it’s being added to (target view), and all thesubviews of the target view
- setFrame intelligently calls layoutSubviews on the view havingit’s frame set only if the size parameter of the frame isdifferent
- scrolling a UIScrollView causes layoutSubviews to be called onthe scrollView, and it’s superview
- rotating a device only calls layoutSubview on the parent view(the responding viewControllers primary view)
- removeFromSuperview – layoutSubviews is called on superviewonly (not show in table)
Hopefully this is helpful information for you as well.

I find that resizing (not moving, only resizing) any subview causesthe superview to get -layoutSubviews sent to it, which I foundunexpected. From your table it doesn’t look like you tested thatcase.
layoutSubviews何时调用的问题，这个方法是当你需要在调整subview的大小的时候需要重写（我这个翻译不严谨，以下是原文：Youshould override this method only if the autoresizing behaviors ofthe subviews do not offer the behavior youwant.），但有时候经常指望它被调用的时候没被调用，不希望它被调用的时候被调用了，搞的很上火。根据国外社区一个人帖子，做了总结性翻译。
layoutSubviews在以下情况下会被调用：
1、init初始化不会触发layoutSubviews
2、addSubview会触发layoutSubviews
3、设置view的Frame会触发layoutSubviews，当然前提是frame的值设置前后发生了变化
4、滚动一个UIScrollView会触发layoutSubviews
5、旋转Screen会触发父UIView上的layoutSubviews事件
6、改变一个UIView大小的时候也会触发父UIView上的layoutSubviews事件
