Add UISearchBar above keyboard - ios

Question

I want to display a search bar above the keyboard. Whenever the keyboard appears search bar should also come. How to do this?

Answer 1

You can simply use textField.inputAccessoryView = your search bar
textField.inputAccessoryView = mySearchBar;

Answer 2

Create an object of UISearch bar and add an observer for keyboard in textFieldDidBeginEditing/textViewDidBeginEditing
- (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWasShown:)
name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification
object:nil];
}
- (void)keyboardWasShown:(NSNotification *)notification
{
CGSize keyboardSize = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
int height = MIN(keyboardSize.height,keyboardSize.width);
int width = MAX(keyboardSize.height,keyboardSize.width);
//set frame for searchbar
searchBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height - height, width, 50);
}

Answer 3

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification
{
CGSize keyboardSize = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
CGRect f = self.view.frame;
f.origin.y = -keyboardSize.height;
self.view.frame = f;
}];
}
-(void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification
{
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
CGRect f = self.view.frame;
f.origin.y = 0.0f;
self.view.frame = f;
}];
}
