Answer 1

create property for nsfetchviewcontroller in header file
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface searchController : UIViewController<UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate,NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate,UISearchBarDelegate,UISearchResultsUpdating,UISearchControllerDelegate,UITextFieldDelegate,UITextViewDelegate>{}
#property(nonatomic,retain)NSFetchedResultsController *catefetchedResultsController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet TypeTextfiled *searchCate;
#end
hookup the seachCate textfeild with your xib textfield and set delegate to view controller
in your searchController.m file do this
catName, local_Id are the fields in my cordata and I’m doing query in predicate with them you can use your own columns name
#pragma mark - fetching
- (NSFetchedResultsController *)fetchedResultsControllerCate
{
if (catefetchedResultsController == nil)
{
NSManagedObjectContext* mangedobjectContext=[self appDelegate].managedObjectContext;
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:frAddCategoryTable
inManagedObjectContext:mangedobjectContext];
NSFetchRequest *request= [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSString*dateStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[UserDefaluts objectForKey:frautoIncrement]];
NSPredicate *predicate =[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"local_Id==%#",[DateValidator TimestapToDate:dateStr]];
NSSortDescriptor *sd1 = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:#"local_Id" ascending:YES];
NSSortDescriptor *sd2 = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:#"catName" ascending:YES];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:sd1,sd2, nil];
[request setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
[request setEntity:entity];
[request setPredicate:predicate];
[request setFetchBatchSize:10];
catefetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:request
managedObjectContext:mangedobjectContext
sectionNameKeyPath:nil
cacheName:nil];
[catefetchedResultsController setDelegate:self];
NSError *error = nil;
if (![catefetchedResultsController performFetch:&error])
{
NSLog(#"Error performing fetch: %#", error);
}
}
return catefetchedResultsController;
}
i this is the delegate method for nsfetchview controller
- (void)controllerDidChangeContent:(NSFetchedResultsController *)controller
{
if (controller==catefetchedResultsController)
{
[self.categoryTable reloadData];
}
}
here when you change in the range of text field this delegete will be wakeup
and it will called the filterCate method for NSPredicate
- (BOOL)textField:(TypeTextfiled *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string{
NSString * searchStr = [textField.text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:string];
if(textField == self.searchCate){
[self filterCate:searchStr];
}
return true;
}
please change the NSPredicate as per your requirement and change the name
-(void)filterCate:(NSString*)text
{
filteredTableData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
// Create our fetch request
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
// Define the entity we are looking for
NSManagedObjectContext* mangedobjectContext=[self appDelegate].managedObjectContext;
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:frCategoriesTable
inManagedObjectContext:mangedobjectContext];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"special==%i",0];
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
// If we are searching for anything...
if(text.length > 0)
{
// Define how we want our entities to be filtered
predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"(catName CONTAINS[c] %# AND special==%i)", text,0];
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
}
NSError *error;
// Finally, perform the load
NSArray* loadedEntities = [mangedobjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];
filteredTableData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:loadedEntities];
[self.CategorTable reloadData];
}
table view
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)sectionIndex {
#warning Incomplete method implementation.
NSArray *sectionCate = [[self fetchedResultsControllerCate] sections];
if (tableView==self.categoryTable) {
if (sectionIndex < [sectionCate count])
{
id <NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo> sectionInfo = [sectionCate objectAtIndex:sectionIndex];
return sectionInfo.numberOfObjects;
}
}
return 0;
}
