searchResultsController with a UITableViewController hides the navigation bar, how to prevent it? - ios

When I assign a TableViewController as the constructor for UISearchController, when the table is loaded, it hides the navigation bar (that includes title and search bar). How can I make it, so it doesn't hide it?
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
configureNavigationItem()
}
}
extension ViewController {
private func configureNavigationItem() {
let resultsController = UITableViewController(style: .plain)
navigationItem.searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: resultsController)
navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false
}
}
Initial Load
Tap Any Key

Found the answer:
definesPresentationContext = true
as in:
private func configureNavigationItem() {
let resultsController = UITableViewController(style: .plain)
navigationItem.searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: resultsController)
navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false
**definesPresentationContext = true**
}

extra space between search bar and searchResultsController

if #available(iOS 11, *) {
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: ResultsController())
searchController.searchBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.Custom.theme
searchController.searchBar.delegate = self
searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false
}
I want to know how to make searchResultsController stick below searchBar ... Thanks
Solution:
In parent controller:
override func viewDidLoad() {
extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
// Your code
}

How to set SearchBar text field text

I am setting UISearchController as following
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
In results UIViewController, I need to set search text when button clicked
this code doesn't work
navigationController?.navigationItem.searchController?.searchBar.searchTextField.text = searchText
You need to have a reference of your searchController as a property. For example, you have a property:
lazy var searchController: UISearchController = {
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
searchController.searchBar.backgroundColor = .white
return searchController
}()
and then assigning that property to navigationItem like what you did:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
}
and then finally, setting search text when a button is clicked:
self.searchController.searchBar.text = "🍻✅💯🥴🇵🇭"
OR SIMPLY:
self.navigationItem.searchController?.searchBar.text = "🍻✅💯🥴🇵🇭"
No need to get these from your navigationController.

Can't get SearchController to show with TableView

I'm following the raywenderlich.com tutorial to show a search bar for my table, but I can't see it anywhere (yes, I scrolled up)
Here's my code:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate, UISearchControllerDelegate, UISearchResultsUpdating {
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
func updateSearchResults(for searchController: UISearchController) {
let searchBar = searchController.searchBar
filterContentForSearchText(searchBar.text!)
}
var isSearchBarEmpty: Bool {
return searchController.searchBar.text?.isEmpty ?? true
}
func filterContentForSearchText(_ searchText: String) {
filteredStrings = stockArr.filter { (string: String) -> Bool in
return string.lowercased().contains(searchText.lowercased())
}
tableView.reloadData()
}
var filteredStrings: [String] = []
var searchController : UISearchController!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.delegate = self
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
searchController.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "Search Candies"
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false
definesPresentationContext = true
}
}
Please help me, I've tried every StackOverflow solution and nothing works, this code didn't make a difference from the normal tableview I had before.
You're probably using the ViewController without embedding it into a UINavigationController. You've to embed it in UINavigationController to make it show up in the UINavigationBar. So while using ViewController use it as follows, if you're using it programmatically.
UINavigationController(rootViewController: ViewController())
If the ViewController is created in storyboard then Use Editor-> Embed In -> Navigation Controller.

How to fix programmatically the search bar in swift

I programmatically created a search bar in ViewController.
But when I scroll up the screen, the search bar goes up.
How can I freeze the search bar?
class searchbarTable: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, UISearchResultsUpdating {
#IBOutlet var tableview: UITableView!
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
override func viewDidLoad() {
searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
definesPresentationContext = true
self.tableview.tableHeaderView = searchController.searchBar
}
}
You can try this and set searchbar in Navigation Bar
self.navigationController?.searchDisplayController = searchController
OR
lazy var searchBar = UISearchBar(frame: CGRectZero)
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
searchBar.placeholder = "Search"
navigationItem.titleView = searchBar
}
OR
var leftNavBarButton = UIBarButtonItem(customView:Yoursearchbar)
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftNavBarButton
OR
searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
it hide naviationbar when we present okay
Hope it helps You :)

UISearchController in navigation bar could not hide properly on iOS 11

I want to hide navigation bar after a tap
navigationController?.hidesBarsOnTap = true
The navigationBar hides properly after a tap
But after adding a searchController (code below)
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
My view (cyan color) could not extend correctly
And I also tried rotated it. The search bar appears.
Finally found a solution
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
navigationController?.barHideOnTapGestureRecognizer.addTarget(self, action: #selector(barHideAction(_:)))
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false
navigationController?.hidesBarsOnTap = true
}
#objc func barHideAction(_ guesture: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
updateFrame()
}
func updateFrame() {
if let nc = navigationController {
let isHidden = nc.isNavigationBarHidden
searchController.searchBar.superview?.isHidden = isHidden
if isHidden {
self.additionalSafeAreaInsets.top = -64 // fixed by a magic num
}
else {
self.additionalSafeAreaInsets.top = 0
}
}
}
