I noticed this issue too. What seems to happen is the call to becomeFirstResponder is done when the searchController is still ‘loading’. If you comment out becomeFirstResponder you notice that there is no difference. So we need a way to call becomeFirstResponder after the searchController is ‘done’ loading. When I looked at various delegate methods … Read more
First add the UISearchDisplayController to your table view Then set its delegate. Implement the following methods. Demo Project In your .h File @interface ViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource> { NSMutableArray *contentList; NSMutableArray *filteredContentList; BOOL isSearching; } @property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *tblContentList; @property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UISearchBar *searchBar; @property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UISearchDisplayController *searchBarController; In … Read more
It looks like Apple still needs to iron out the use of the UISearchBar in the new large title style. If the UIViewController you push to doesn’t have its navigationItem.searchController set, the animation works fine. When navigating between two instances of UIViewController that both have a searchController set, you get the issue you describe where … Read more
Use the appearance proxy: id barButtonAppearanceInSearchBar = [UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil]; [barButtonAppearanceInSearchBar setBackgroundImage:grayBackgroundImage forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]; [barButtonAppearanceInSearchBar setTitleTextAttributes:@{ NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:@”HelveticaNeue-CondensedBold” size:20], NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor blackColor] } forState:UIControlStateNormal]; [barButtonAppearanceInSearchBar setTitle:@”X”];
You can use UIAppearance to style the cancel button without iterating subviews of the UISearchBar, but the UIButton header does not currently have any methods annotated with UI_APPEARANCE_SELECTOR. EDIT: Drill down the subviews till you get that cancel button But this usually returns nil until searchBar.setShowsCancelButton(true, animated: true) is called. extension UISearchBar { var cancelButton … Read more
Yes, the way search works has been radically changed for what I consider to be a better system. The new system is much better and straight to the point for most simple implementations. Using it is pretty straightforward. First, make your class comply with the UISearchResultsUpdating protocol. class MyTableViewController: UITableViewController, UISearchResultsUpdating {} Add it the … Read more
Setting transparencies is bad for performance. What you want is the gray area above the search bar, but it should still be white beyond the end of the list. You can add a subview to your UITableView that lives above the content instead. CGRect frame = self.list.bounds; frame.origin.y = -frame.size.height; UIView* grayView = [[UIView alloc] … Read more
Old question but I was able to solve this issue by setting self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = YES; on my view controller. I think is issue is caused by having an opaque navigation bar but setting hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation to NO on your search controller, causing the search bar to incorrectly position itself when focused.
According to Apple : UISearchDisplayController is deprecated in iOS 8. (Note that UISearchDisplayDelegate is also deprecated.) To manage the presentation of a search bar and display search results in iOS 8 and later, instead use UISearchController. The UISearchController class defines an interface that manages the presentation of a search bar in concert with the search … Read more
You will want to implement the UISearchResultsUpdating protocol to achieve this. It uses a UISearchController (introduced in iOS 8) which has to be added programmatically instead of through the storyboard, but don’t worry, it’s pretty straight-forward. This should get the job done for you Cheers, Russell class YourTableViewController: UITableViewController, UISearchBarDelegate, UISearchResultsUpdating { var searchUsers: [PFUser] … Read more
