How to check if a UIView is out of its superview bounds

I have a view with a pan gesture and a UIPushBehavior hooked up to it an wanted to know if its possible to check when the view is out the superviews bounds. Basically the user tosses the view and I want to run some animation when the view is out of the screen. Couldn't figure out how to do this. Thanks.

if you want to check if part of the subview is out of bounds of its super view, try this:

in case of x axis

if subview.frame.maxX >= superview.bounds.maxX {
    your code 
}

if subview.frame.minX <= superview.bounds.minX {
    your code
}

you can try the same for y axis, replace minX and maxX to minY and maxY

Swift 5 version on accepted answer:

// Full
if subview.superview!.bounds.contains(subview.frame) { 
  // Do something 
}

// Partial
let intersection = subview.superview!.bounds.intersection(subview.frame)
if !intersection.equalTo(subview.frame) { 
  // Do something
}

Swift 5

func isView(_ innerView: UIView, outOfViewFrame outerViewFrame: CGRect) -> Bool {
        let intersectedFrame = outerViewFrame.intersection(innerView.frame)
        let isInBounds = abs(intersectedFrame.origin.x - innerView.frame.origin.x) < 1 &&
            abs(intersectedFrame.origin.y - innerView.frame.origin.y) < 1 &&
            abs(intersectedFrame.size.width - innerView.frame.size.width) < 1 &&
            abs(intersectedFrame.size.height - innerView.frame.size.height) < 1
        return !isInBounds
    }

EDIT
As pointed out, this answer is not entirely correct, please refer to the more upvoted one.

In Swift 3:

    let v1 = UIView()
    v1.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 200)
    v1.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
    view.addSubview(v1)

    let v2 = UIView()
    v2.frame = CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 200, height: 200)
    v2.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
    view.addSubview(v2)

    if (v1.bounds.contains(v2.frame))
    {
        //view is completely inside super view.
    }
    //this should be an or test
    if (v1.bounds.intersection(v2.frame).width > 0) || (v1.bounds.intersection(v2.frame).height > 0)
    {
        //view is partially out of bounds
    }

Unfortunately, Philipp's answer on partially out of bounds check is not fully correct in this line: v1.bounds.intersection(v2.frame).width > 0) && (v1.bounds.intersection(v2.frame).height > 0

Intersection size can be bigger than zero and still the view would lie inside the superview bounds.

Also it turned out that I can't use equal(to: CGRect) safely because of CGFloat accuracy.

Here is corrected version:

func outOfSuperviewBounds() -> Bool {
  guard let superview = self.superview else {
    return true
  }
  let intersectedFrame = superview.bounds.intersection(self.frame)
  let isInBounds = fabs(intersectedFrame.origin.x - self.frame.origin.x) < 1 &&
                   fabs(intersectedFrame.origin.y - self.frame.origin.y) < 1 &&
                   fabs(intersectedFrame.size.width - self.frame.size.width) < 1 &&
                   fabs(intersectedFrame.size.height - self.frame.size.height) < 1
  return !isInBounds
}

If you want to check if it is entirely out of it's superview bounds you can do this

if (!CGRectContainsRect(view.superview.bounds, view.frame))
{
    //view is completely out of bounds of its super view.
}

If you want to check if just part of it is out of bounds you can do

if (!CGRectEqualToRect(CGRectIntersection(view.superview.bounds, view.frame), view.frame))
{
   //view is partially out of bounds
}
