Answer 1

userNameField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 28)];
userNameField.center = CGPointMake(CGRectGetWidth(someView.bounds)/2.0f, CGRectGetHeight(someView.bounds)/2.0f);

Where someView is the superview of userNameField.

Answer 2

Why not use the view's center property?

userNameField.center = parentViewField.center;

Answer 3

You can directly assign it the center of the desired view:

usernameField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 200, 200, 28)];
usernameField.center = myView.center;
