Scope buttons hiding behind the UITableview - ios

I am creating a search screen using UISearchController, in which I have to show three scope buttons.I have put search bar programmatically.But somehow the scope buttons are hiding behind the UITableView.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.searchController = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController:nil];
self.searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self;
self.searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = NO;
self.searchController.searchBar.delegate = self;
self.tblFoundList.tableHeaderView = self.searchController.searchBar;
self.definesPresentationContext = YES;
[[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses:#[[UISearchBar class]]] setDefaultTextAttributes:#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor blackColor]}];
[[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses:#[[UISearchBar class]]] setAttributedPlaceholder:[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:#"Search by" attributes:#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor lightGrayColor]}]];
self.searchController.searchBar.tintColor = [UIColor purpleColor];
self.searchController.searchBar.barTintColor = [UIColor groupTableViewBackgroundColor];
self.searchController.searchBar.scopeButtonTitles = #[#"A",#"B", #"C"];
[self.searchController.searchBar sizeToFit];
}
Could anyone help in this? Thank you.

As I mentioned earlier I had created UISearchController programmatically, so the UITableview in the image is UISearchController's UITableview, that is why nothing was affecting it.
So I got help from
UISearchController Search Bar Position Drops 64 points
and
UISearchBar presented by UISearchController in table header view animates too far when active
- (UIBarPosition)positionForBar:(id<UIBarPositioning>)bar
{
if (bar == self.searchController.searchBar) {
return UIBarPositionTopAttached;
}
else { // Handle other cases
return UIBarPositionAny;
}
}
On adding following method the search bar got shifted up and the scope buttons were visible.
But thank you all for helping out.

searchBar should not be visible when showing view - ios 11

I have similar problem like here:
SearchBar in NavigationBar IOS 11
In my case I don't have toolbar on top of TableView.
I added searchBar in my VC:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
UISearchController * search = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController:nil];
search.searchResultsUpdater = self;
self.navigationItem.searchController = search;
self.navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = YES;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = NO;
self.navigationController.navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode = UINavigationItemLargeTitleDisplayModeNever;
}
Now searchBar is always visible. It should be hide by default. SearchBar should showed when I pull the tableView down.
What am I doing wrong?
The problem is that I add picture to background:
UIImageView *background = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"somethingImage"]];
[background setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
[self.view addSubview:background];
[self.view sendSubviewToBack:background];
Then Search controller has some problem. I don't know how to repair it. I think it is an apple bug.

UISearchController's SearchBar gets detached and overlaps TableView if rotated while not visible

So I've got a UITableView with a UISearchController. It loads up fine, then I do my search and select a result, pushing a new view controller to my UINavigationController.
If, while the new VC is onscreen, I rotate my phone, then rotate back, and go back...when I get back to the UITableView, the UISearchBar is nowhere to be seen. If, to troubleshoot, I hide the UINavigationBar, or if I look at the view hierarchy, I find that it has moved up behind the navigation bar and is being covered.
I've tried all kinds of hackey solutions, like moving the frame of the bar after it finishes loading, with no success. I really need help on this one, I'm stumped. None of the stuff I've found on google has helped.
Here are screenshots of before, after, and the view heirarchy:

Here is all the View-related code:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
if (!self.title)
self.title = #"GLOBAL SEARCH";
self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
//TESTING
//if I don't have this, the bar detaches from the navigation bar
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeAll;
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = YES;
//test
self.definesPresentationContext = YES;
self.searchController = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController:nil];
self.searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = NO;
self.searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self;
self.searchController.delegate = self;
self.searchController.searchBar.frame = CGRectMake(self.searchController.searchBar.frame.origin.x,
self.searchController.searchBar.frame.origin.y,
self.searchController.searchBar.frame.size.width,
44.0);
self.searchController.searchBar.backgroundImage = [[UIImage alloc] init];
self.searchController.searchBar.backgroundColor = kConstantBaseColor;
self.searchController.searchBar.barTintColor = kConstantBaseColor;
self.searchController.searchBar.tintColor = kConstantLabelColor;
//set color
[[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setDefaultTextAttributes:#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:kConstantLabelColor}];
self.searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = NO;
[self.searchController.searchBar setSearchBarStyle:UISearchBarStyleMinimal];
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = self.searchController.searchBar;
self.tableView.clipsToBounds = NO;
self.tableView.tableHeaderView.clipsToBounds = NO;
self.tableView.tableHeaderView.backgroundColor = kConstantBaseColor;
//put purple block above, in case user scrolls up
CGRect bufferFrame = CGRectMake(self.searchController.searchBar.frame.origin.x,
self.searchController.searchBar.frame.origin.y-300,
self.searchController.searchBar.frame.size.width*2,
300);
UIView *purpleBuffer = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:bufferFrame];
purpleBuffer.backgroundColor = kConstantBaseColor;
[self.tableView addSubview:purpleBuffer];
}
- (void)viewWillTransitionToSize:(CGSize)size withTransitionCoordinator:(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator>)coordinator {
[super viewWillTransitionToSize:size withTransitionCoordinator:coordinator];
[coordinator animateAlongsideTransition:nil completion:^(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext> context) {
}];
}
Does anyone have any solutions? I'm stumped and have been beating my head against it for days. Thank you so much.

iOS 8 UISearchController's searchBar overlapping tableVIew

I've making practises to use iOS 8 new features - UISearchController to display my tableView and result. But something strange happened. It seems like the searchBar is transparent.
Yes, the searchBar is overlapping with the tableView. I've search a lot in SO, but no help.
My implementation in viewDidLoad
self.myTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds style:UITableViewStylePlain];
_myTableView.delegate = self;
_myTableView.dataSource = self;
[self.view addSubview:_myTableView];
self.mySearchController = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController:nil];
_mySearchController.searchResultsUpdater = self;
_mySearchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = NO;
_mySearchController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
_mySearchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = YES;
_mySearchController.searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyleMinimal;
[_mySearchController.searchBar sizeToFit];
self.myTableView.tableHeaderView = self.mySearchController.searchBar;
Did I miss something important?
It's because you've set _mySearchController.searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyleMinimal. According to Apple's documentation:
UISearchBarStyleMinimal - The search bar has no background, and the search field is translucent.
Try deleting that line of code or setting it to UISearchBarStyleDefault instead.

UISearchDisplayController gap between overlay and bar

In my app I'm trying to add search functionality. I have table view controller and custom top bar view where I show UISearchBar. The problem is that overlay view is always a bit under the top bar and it adds gap between them:
In my table view controller .m file's viewDidLoad:
[super viewDidLoad];
LSDropdownViewController *menuCtrl = (LSDropdownViewController *)[self parentViewController];
menuCtrl.topSearchBar.delegate = self;
[menuCtrl.topSearchBar setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[menuCtrl.topSearchBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageWithGradientColors]];
[menuCtrl.topSearchBar setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
self.searchController = [[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:menuCtrl.topSearchBar contentsController:self];
self.searchController.delegate = self;
self.searchController.searchResultsDataSource = self;
self.searchController.searchResultsDelegate = self;
any ideas?
It's due to iOS7+. So, to get rid of it, you have to set search bar frame manually by offsetting y-value 20 pixels i.e. searchBar.frame = CGRectMake(0,20,width,height).

UITableView Not Scrolling With UISearchBar

What I want to achieve is a UISearchBar that moves up and covers the UINavBar, and contains a cancel button on the right of it. All goes well, until I use the following line of code:
searchDC = [[[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:searchBar contentsController:self] autorelease];
What ends up happening is the UITableView just won't scroll, but everything else functions as expected. If I remove that line, my nav bar is visible, and the search bar just sits below it, also lacking a cancel button.
Any ideas?
The code for drawing the search bar is:
self.navigationItem.title = #"Search";
searchBar = [[[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, self.view.bounds.size.width, 44.0f)] autorelease];
searchBar.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
searchBar.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeNone;
searchBar.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeAlphabet;
searchBar.delegate = self;
[searchBar becomeFirstResponder];
tableView.tableHeaderView = searchBar;
tableView.tableHeaderView.frame = CGRectMake(0.f, 0.f, 480.f, 44.f);
searchDC = [[[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:searchBar contentsController:self] autorelease];
searchDC.searchResultsDataSource = self;
searchDC.searchResultsDelegate = self;
searchDC.searchResultsTableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;
searchDC.searchResultsTableView.scrollEnabled = YES;
overlayView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 50, 320, 480);
[self.view addSubview:overlayView];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:overlayView];
Not enough information to answer this. You need to show the UIViewController or UINavigation Controller code (both the .h and .m) where you are setting up the UISearchDisplayController.
EDIT:
You're implementing this totally wrongly. Apple has a great example on how to implement this http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/TableSearch/Introduction/Intro.html
From Apple's Documentation,
Delegate for the search display controller (delegate), which responds to events such the starting or ending of a search, and the showing or hiding of the search interface.
Set the delegate to your UITableViewController
searchDC.delegate = self;
Also add the searchDC's searchBar to the tableView's headerView
[self.tableView setTableHeaderView:searchDC.searchBar];
