UISearchBar not responding - ios

Question

I added UISearchBar in UITableView and than added it inside UIView. I'm adding UIView on window and everything works fine. searchBarShouldBeginEditing is triggering and displaying logs however, searchBarTextDidBeginEditing is not triggering. Below is my code:
AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
self.frame = appDelegate.window.frame;
[appDelegate.window addSubview:self];
inside myView.h:
#property(strong, nonatomic) UISearchController *searchController;
and inside myView.m:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
self.searchController = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController:nil];
self.searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self;
self.searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = NO;
self.searchController.searchBar.delegate = self;
[self.searchController.searchBar sizeToFit];
self.searchController.searchBar.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
tblDropdown.tableHeaderView = self.searchController.searchBar;
arrSeached = [NSMutableArray array];
}

Maybe, the problem is that your view controller or view (I do know without all code) has not added the protocol correctly.
Anyway, this is a example using UISearchController:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate, UISearchControllerDelegate, UISearchBarDelegate, UISearchResultsUpdating>
#property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UITableView * tableView;
#property (nonatomic, strong) UISearchController * searchController;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray * allItems;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray * filteredItems;
#property (nonatomic, weak) NSArray * displayedItems;
#end
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
#synthesize tableView;
#synthesize searchController;
#synthesize allItems;
#synthesize displayedItems;
#synthesize filteredItems;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Create a list
self.allItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[self.allItems addObject:#"One"];
[self.allItems addObject:#"Two"];
[self.allItems addObject:#"Three"];
// Create a list to hold search results (filtered list)
self.filteredItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
// Initially display the full list. This variable will toggle between the full and the filtered lists.
self.displayedItems = self.allItems;
// Here's where we create our UISearchController
self.searchController = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController:nil];
self.searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self;
self.searchController.searchBar.delegate = self;
[self.searchController.searchBar sizeToFit];
// Add the UISearchBar to the top header of the table view
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = self.searchController.searchBar;
// Hides search bar initially. When the user pulls down on the list, the search bar is revealed.
[self.tableView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, self.searchController.searchBar.frame.size.height)];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)aTableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [self.displayedItems count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)aTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)anIndexPath {
UITableViewCell * cell = [aTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"FruitCell"];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] init];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [self.displayedItems objectAtIndex:anIndexPath.row];
return cell;
}
// When the user types in the search bar, this method gets called.
- (void)updateSearchResultsForSearchController:(UISearchController *)aSearchController {
NSLog(#"updateSearchResultsForSearchController");
NSString *searchString = aSearchController.searchBar.text;
NSLog(#"searchString=%#", searchString);
// Check if the user cancelled or deleted the search term so we can display the full list instead.
if (![searchString isEqualToString:#""]) {
[self.filteredItems removeAllObjects];
for (NSString *str in self.allItems) {
if ([searchString isEqualToString:#""] || [str localizedCaseInsensitiveContainsString:searchString] == YES) {
NSLog(#"str=%#", str);
[self.filteredItems addObject:str];
}
}
self.displayedItems = self.filteredItems;
}
else {
self.displayedItems = self.allItems;
}
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
#end
