I am looking to create something similar to this, where there is a search bar in the Navigation bar. The photo below displays what I currently have in my storyboard. I would like for it to look something like the photo below that, without the customizations to the UI. I have tried placing the search bar below the navigation bar but it takes up more space that I would like and looks cluttered and unprofessional, can anybody help me here?
There are several links on SO explaining how to do this already. Check out the following: UISearchBar in navigationbar, Displaying search bar in navigation bar in iOS 8. If neither of those seem to work for your situation explain 1) What method you tried and 2) Why it's not working. You may even add some of your sample code to show how you are attempting to integrate a solution and that it's not working.
You should add tableview and search bar programmatically. By doing so, search bar does not scroll while your tableview scrolls up and down.

I would like to use a UISearchBar and put it towards the bottom of a screen in order to search for available names through an API call. I want to have this SearchBar as part of a sign up form. However, when I put the SearchBar on the screen where I would like through the Storyboard, it does not show up when I run the app on the simulator. When I looked up this issue, everyone is putting the searchbar in a tableview. Am I not using the correct UI element for my cause?
The reason your search bar is not on the screen is probably because you didn't set constraint correctly or it was hidden or covered by some other view.
And for your second half of the question, I myself never put a search bar on a UITableView itself. Some apps put a search bar on the first cell of a table view but you have to scroll to make it show up. I myself always prefer to put it on the navigation controller on the top of the screen so that it will always be there and ready for user to search anything.
I am currently recreating an Instagram app. (For learning purposes.)
But I am stuck recreating the search bar in the Search page.
Instagram's Search Bar
So far my implementation of UISearchController displays a segment controller with buttons. But is not close to Instagrams. Or any other animation similar to it that will lead me on the right direction will be greatly appreciated it.
This works for copying that kind of tab view controller. Here is a picture of it.
Check out this Github page. They have created a segmented controller just like instagram's, and if you scroll down you can see images of it.
I'm newbie with Xcode, I'm learning it and trying to make my app.
Now I would like to put Navigation Bar func at the bottom of the screen with some customize.
I turn on "Shows Toolbar" at Navigation Controller and put my button there, but I cannot customize it.
Everything that I found about customizing Navigation Bar at the top of the screen or about customizing TabBar when people are talking about bottom of the screen.
Please, can you give me a code examples to build something like this at the bottom of the screen:

Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure what you are trying to customize (button or bar) but when there is a bar at the bottom of the screen that is not a tab bar it is a tool bar not a navigation bar. The two are related but they each have their own class. Tool bars use UIToolBar not UINavigationBar. The tool bar is independent of the navigation controller and the two work together well. For any views that don't want a tool bar just set it to hidden in -viewDidAppear: (you will need to un hide it in views that use it).
dimimpou is right. You can accomplish this by using a UITabBarViewController and one UIBarButtonItem for "ADD ONE" and "MY STATS".
If you get lost in references(I sometimes get lost too), I may provide a simple example.
Note that if the interface provided by UIKit doesn't meet your need you can:
Use category over UITabBar or UITabBarItem.
If 1. doesn't work sadly you'll have create your own view controller which is simulate UITabBarViewController(requires some time, but it's worth)
Edit:
You can use a UINavigationController inside a UITabBarViewController.
You can easily do this. The way I understand it, you want this "Toolbar" to show from a button in the navigation bar. Just put a tab bar with what you need and make it show when the user presses the button on the navigation bar. on this buttons action put this code: self.tabBar.hidden = NO; and on the storyboard uncheck the bar visibility option. Hope it helps!
Hei guys.
What I am trying to achieve is have my search bar behind the navigation controller just like in the sparrow app. So when you scroll down the search bar is basically part of the view.
The first picture is the view when it's first loaded. The second one is after I scrolled down.
Do you know any way I can achieve this? I was thinking of having the search bar as part of the view and just load the view form the point that's just under the search bar. But I don't know how to do that. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I agree with #holex's comment if you're using a tableview. Seems silly to re-implement.
However, in the unlikely event you're not. You could just use a UIScrollView for your content and place the search bar at the top, and adjust the content offset accordingly. So it would appear as if the search bar has animated from under your navigation bar.
Here's a link to the UIScrolView class page on the dev site
I'm pretty new to Xcode and me and my buddy are working on a golf app we tought would be cool to use for ourselves. I've done a tab bar with 3 view controllers and one navigation bar controller with 2 view controllers. Now, first of all the bar on top is named navigation ITEM and not navigation BAR, so i can't change things like color and button type, all i can change is the title.
Does anyone know if you can just remove that bar completely or just customize it so it's just a picture i made instead? I dont really need it since you could just press one of the tabs in the tabbar to go back.
Sorry if things doesnt make sense, i'm a total noob. Also i tried search the web and all i could find was some youtube clip from xcode 1.2 and i tried it but it didn't work..
You could make your custom nav bar in photoshop or similar, add it as image view and add custom buttons on top of that.
