I am trying to create a view with a searchBar on the NavigationBar, I want this searchBar to open a tableView with the search results as soon as typing begins, and hide it once an item is touched. I am new to this platform, so I need just a path to follow, I don't know where to start actually.
According to my comment: Heres a more in depth explanation. Happy coding:
.h
#interface TableViewController : UITableViewController <UISearchBarDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) UISearchBar *searchBar;
#end
.m
- (void) viewDidLoad:(BOOL)animated {
UIView *searchbarView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, 44)]; //This adds a container that will hold the search bar.
self.searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, 44)];
self.searchBar.delegate = self;
[searchbarView addSubview:self.searchBar];
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = searchbarView; //Inserts UIView into the header of self.tableView
[self.tableView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, 44)];
}
And thats pretty much it. If you want to customize other things like the keyboard layout and the way text populates and the color and font and placeholder text etc, you can edit it in viewDidLoad or make a subclass
EDIT I have included some example code for customization below:
self.searchBar.keyboardAppearance = UIKeyboardAppearanceDark;
self.searchBar.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeySearch;
self.searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyleProminent;
self.searchBar.barTintColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
self.searchBar.placeholder = #"Search for queries here";
self.searchBar.showsCancelButton = YES;
[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor blueColor],
NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
nil]
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
-(void)searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {
self.searchBar.showsCancelButton = NO;
[self.searchBar resignFirstResponder];
}
You can create a view with a UISearchBar at the top and then a UITableView (initially hidden) and add that to your existing view. Hiding the Navigation bar will given the same appearance as UISearchController. You can then show the table view in the search bar delegates when the user starts searching.

I have a UISearchBar whose bartintcolor i have changed and have cancel enabled. This is added as a subview of a UIVew.
whenever make search bar visible, it shows a black line below it which never goes away.
Am i missing something about UISearchbar appearence or its background view.
dummyview=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 30,self.headerView.frame.size.width-20, 30)];
[dummyview setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[dummyview setClipsToBounds:TRUE];
self.searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, dummyview.frame.size.width, dummyview.frame.size.height)];
self.searchBar.delegate = (id)self;
[self.searchBar setPlaceholder:#"Search"];
self.searchBar.showsCancelButton = YES;
_searchBar.barTintColor = [Utilities colorWithHexString:#"3a7ebc"];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn: [UISearchBar class], nil] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
_searchBar.delegate=self;
[dummyview addSubview:_searchBar];
it gives me like this
if i change background to native one, i get displaced content.
// _searchBar.barTintColor = [Utilities colorWithHexString:#"3a7ebc"];
I just dont want the black line below the searchbar.
Updated:
using
_searchBar.searchBarStyle=UISearchBarStyleMinimal;
_searchBar.barStyle=UIBarStyleDefault;
result in this
So
finally everything done
_searchBar.searchBarStyle=UISearchBarStyleMinimal;
_searchBar.barStyle=UIBarStyleDefault;
UITextField *searchField=[_searchBar valueForKey:#"_searchField"];
if (searchField) {
[searchField setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
}
Put my code in viewdidload or viewwillappear method.
searchbar.barTintColor=[UIColor samebgcolor];
searchbar.layer.borderWidth = 1;
searchbar.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor samebgcolor] CGColor];
I would also consider, "I hope this will help you", as this is the strongest, and hopes that the thing will most definitely, certainly help.

I want to add the UISegmentedControl below the searchBar and above the TableView of UISearchDisplayController. Currently UISearchDisplayController only shows its tableView under its SearchBar.
But i want to add a UISegmentedControl below the SearchBar so that I have SearchBar on the top, after SearchBar I have a UISegmentedControl and below that UISegmentedControl I have UITableView. Is that any way to do this using UISearchDisplayController or i have to make my own SearchDisplayController that have its own SearchBar , UISegmentedControl and TableView?
any suggestion? Thanks
Enable ShowScopeBar and add as many as segments by adding scop titles and handle them by following method
By Code
UISearchBar *searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
[searchBar setShowsScopeBar:YES];
[searchBar setScopeButtonTitles:#[#"button1",#"button2"]];
[[self view] addSubview:searchBar];
By XIB
Delegate method to handle scope button action
- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar selectedScopeButtonIndexDidChange:(NSInteger)selectedScope{
}
Create a view in table
UIView *viewsearch=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,-10, 320,83)];
[self.tblname addSubview:viewsearch];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:revealController.panGestureRecognizer]
UISearchBar *searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,5, 320, 40)];
searchBar.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
searchBar.delegate=self;
[searchBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:(249/255.0) green:(9/255.0) blue:(99/255.0) alpha:1]];
searchBar.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
searchBar.placeholder = #"Search items e.g. jacket";
Addsearchbar view in that view.
[viewsearch addSubview:searchBar];
searchBar.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
Use UISegmentedControl in this searchview.
NSArray *itemArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: #"General", #"Near me", nil];
UISegmentedControl *segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:itemArray];
segmentedControl.frame = CGRectMake(50,53, 225, 22);
segmentedControl.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStylePlain;
[segmentedControl addTarget:self action:#selector(MySegmentControlAction:) forControlEvents: UIControlEventValueChanged];
segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = 0;
segmentedControl.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:(249/255.0) green:(10/255.0) blue:(99/255.0) alpha:1];
segmentedControl.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin |
UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin |
UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin;
[viewsearch addSubview:segmentedControl];
I find the solution for my Problem that i added the UISegmentedControl as a Header of TableView of UISearchDisplayController. In this way it just looked like that i have added a UISegmentedControl Separately under the searchBar of UISearchDisplayController.
Thank You every one who tried to help.
How do I PROGRAMMATICALLY add a UISegmentedControl to a UINavigationBar?
I do not want to use a XIB file for this.
I have a UIView with a UITableView that is added as a subview.
I have tried two methods but both are not satisfactory:
1)
self.segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc]initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"All",#"Subject",#"Category",#"Finished",nil]];
self.segmentedControl.backgroundColor = [UIColor cloudsColor];
[self.segmentedControl setSelectedSegmentIndex:0];
[self.segmentedControl addTarget:self action:#selector(segmentedControlHasChangedValue) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
self.mainView.tableHeaderView = self.segmentedControl;
The reason this first one fails is that in the UITableView, when the user scrolls, the segmented control is scrolled as well! I don't want that to happen. It must stay pinned to the top.
2) Second attempt
UISegmentedControl *statFilter = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Filter_Personnal", #"Filter_Department", #"Filter_Company", nil]];
[statFilter setSegmentedControlStyle:UISegmentedControlStyleBar];
[statFilter sizeToFit];
self.navigationItem.titleView = statFilter;
This removes my title!!! I have a title at the top in the UINavigationBar and this method removes it!!
Here's an example of what I want to accomplish: UISegmentedControl below UINavigationbar in iOS 7
The UISegmentedControl must stay pinned below as part of the UINavigationBar and it must be below the title!
Thanks!
Use tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: (and possibly tableView:heightForHeaderInSection:) instead of tableHeaderView. Set tableStyle to UITableViewStylePlain (this should be the default).
You can use the following code :
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section{
if (section == 0) {
UIView *viewHeader = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 100)];
UISegmentedControl *segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc]initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"All",#"Subject",#"Category",#"Finished",nil]];
segmentedControl.backgroundColor = [UIColor cloudsColor];
[segmentedControl setSelectedSegmentIndex:0];
[segmentedControl addTarget:self action:#selector(segmentedControlHasChangedValue) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
segmentedControl.frame = CGRectMake(0, 20, viewHeader.frame.size.width, 50);
[viewHeader addSubview:segmentedControl];
return viewHeader;
}
return nil;
}
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
As the other posters have suggested, you could put the segmented control above the table view and under the nav bar, but you'd need to shift down the table view.
...Or, you could add the segmented control as a tableHeaderView.
A third option is to actually add it to the navigation bar. To do that you have to turn it into a navBarItem. Something like this:
UISegmentedControl *statFilter = [[UISegmentedControl alloc]
initWithItems:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:
#"Filter_Personnal",
#"Filter_Department",
#"Filter_Company",
nil]];
[statFilter setSegmentedControlStyle:UISegmentedControlStyleBar];
[statFilter sizeToFit];
UIBarItem *theBarItem = [[UIBarItem alloc] initWithCustomView: statFilter];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = theBarItem;
Background: I have a UIViewController which has a UITableView added programmatically. At the top of the UITableView I have a tablHeaderView in which I have placed a UIView. This UIView has a UISearchBar and a segmentedControl. The idea being: that a user can sort the UITableView by some basic categories such as 'Date/Time' or 'Location' etc. They can also search by an item in the programme.
Problem: When I tap the search bar it resizes (which I don't want) and then when I cancel the search it resizes again and stays there until the UIViewController is exited and loaded again.
Code:
-(void)loadTableView
{
usableSpace = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
usableWidth = usableSpace.size.width;
usableHeight = usableSpace.size.height;
_tableView = [[UITableView alloc] init];
[_tableView setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,usableWidth, usableHeight)];
[_tableView setDataSource:self];
[_tableView setDelegate:self];
[self.view addSubview:_tableView];
_searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, usableWidth, 44)];
_searchBar.showsCancelButton = YES;
NSLog(#"searchBar height = %fl", _searchBar.frame.size.height);
segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Date/Time", #"Location", #"Speaker", nil]];
segmentedControl.frame = CGRectMake(0, (_searchBar.frame.size.height), usableWidth, (usableHeight * 0.075));
[segmentedControl addTarget:self action:#selector(sortList) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
searchDisplayController = [[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:_searchBar contentsController:self];
searchDisplayController.delegate = self;
searchDisplayController.searchResultsDataSource = self;
searchDisplayController.searchResultsDelegate = self;
UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, usableWidth, (usableHeight * 0.15))];
[headerView addSubview:_searchBar];
[headerView addSubview:segmentedControl];
_tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView;
[self.view addSubview:_tableView];
self.tableView = _tableView;
}
What I have tried: I have tried setting the size of the SearchBar, not setting its size. Not having it in a UIView in the tableHeaderView, instead just having it there on its own.
Why does it resize at all and how can I get it to stop?
EDIT: I have just tried the following: In storyboard (where the UIViewController was originally created) I have selected the UIVC in question and in attributes inspector I deselected 'Under Top Bars' and 'Under Bottom Bars' and this appears to have fixed the first part of the animation problem. Now, when I tap in the search bar, the search becomes active but the searchBar does NOT resize. However, when I cancel the searchBar the searchBar still animates and resizes as per the last image in my screenshot. What could be causing THAT resizing?
i've been banging my head on this for too freakin long... props to this dude here for the clues.
if you want your UISearchBar to be in the header along with other views and to scroll with the header instead of sticking at the top, then you've got to remove it and re-add it after the search completes. to be clear, build your header like you already do and then throw this in there as well to handle the screwy animations.
-(void)searchDisplayControllerDidEndSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller {
[self.mySearchBar removeFromSuperview];
self.mySearchBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44);
[self.table.tableHeaderView addSubview:self.mySearchBar];
}
As Timothy Moose notes here, "It seems that UISearchDisplayController makes an undocumented assumption that the search bar is the only content of the header view"
...yay apple.
Ok, after hours of reading up and trying different things I think I have found out how to have a UISearchBar where I want it and it seems to work ok. I believe the problem was to do with either having multiple views in the tableHeaderView OR the UISearchBar did not like being with another view inside a 'containing' view.
Here is the code I ended up with that allowed me to have a segmentedControl at the top of my UITableView AND a UISearchBar which actually sat at the top of my UIView (to which the UITableView was added).
-(void)loadTableView
{
usableSpace = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
usableWidth = usableSpace.size.width;
usableHeight = usableSpace.size.height;
_tableView = [[UITableView alloc] init];
[_tableView setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,usableWidth, usableHeight)];
[_tableView setDataSource:self];
[_tableView setDelegate:self];
[self.view addSubview:_tableView];
_searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, usableWidth, 44)];
[_searchBar setShowsCancelButton:YES];
NSLog(#"searchBar height = %fl", _searchBar.frame.size.height);
segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Title", #"Date/Time", #"Speaker", nil]];
segmentedControl.frame = CGRectMake(0, (_searchBar.frame.size.height), usableWidth, (usableHeight * 0.075));
segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = 0;
[segmentedControl addTarget:self action:#selector(sortList) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
searchDisplayController = [[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:_searchBar contentsController:self];
searchDisplayController.delegate = self;
searchDisplayController.searchResultsDataSource = self;
searchDisplayController.searchResultsDelegate = self;
UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, usableWidth, (usableHeight * 0.15))];
[headerView addSubview:segmentedControl];
_tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView;
[self.view addSubview:_tableView];
[self.view addSubview:_searchBar];
self.tableView = _tableView;
}
This meant that I had:
UIViewController with a UINavigationController, UISearchBar, UITableView. The UITableView had a segmentedConrol. The UISearchBar sits just under the UINavigationController and is always present. The UISearchBar sits at the top of the UITableViewController and scrolls with the UITableViewCells.
If anyone knows why the UISearchBar acted as it did in the question then I would be grateful if they could leave a comment. I know that this problem (or very similar) has been experienced by MANY people and I haven't found a definitive answer anywhere.
I am Using UItableView controller , i am not able to add searchbar to navigation bar . i want searchbar to come when search button on navigation bar is clicked. How to add search button and search bar on navigation bar .
add this at button click => .m file:
UISearchBar *sBar = [[UISearchBar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,10,self.navigationController.navigationBar.bounds.size.width,self.navigationController.navigationBar.bounds.size.height/2)];
sBar.delegate = self;
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:sBar];
and add this => .h file
#interface ViewController : UIViewController<UISearchBarDelegate>
to make searchbar like this you want to insert Button in Navigation bar controller and set background image as search.png(your image). so, when user click on this button set target as searchbarwill be open. please check below code for your reference.
First of all set delegate method in you .h file.
#interface FriendsViewController : UIViewController <UISearchDisplayDelegate,UISearchBarDelegate,UIAlertViewDelegate>
#property (nonatomic, strong) UIButton *searchButton;
#property (nonatomic, strong) UIBarButtonItem *searchItem;
#property (nonatomic, strong) UISearchBar *searchBar;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UISearchController *searchController;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UISearchDisplayController *d1;
then Insert button in your nevigationbar.
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
UIButton *btn=[[UIButton alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(279,9,25, 25)];
[btn setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"search"] //put here your searchimage
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn setTitle:#"" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn addTarget:self action:#selector(clickme:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *barbtn=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:btn];
self.tabBarController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem=barbtn;
[self.tabBarController.navigationController.navigationBar setHidden:NO];
Now you have to set searchcontroller on clickme your button method.
- (IBAction)clickme:(id)sender{
UISearchBar *searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 44.0)];
searchBar.autoresizingMask =0;
searchBar.delegate = self;
searchBar.placeholder = #"Search for items...";
searchBar.showsScopeBar=YES;
UIView *searchBarWrapper = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 44)];
searchBarWrapper.autoresizingMask = 0;
[searchBarWrapper addSubview:searchBar];
self.searchItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:searchBarWrapper];
self.tabBarController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = self.searchItem;
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = nil;
self.navigationItem.titleView = nil;
////////////// ~ Search Display Controller as Object ~/////////////////////////////
self.d1 = [[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:searchBar contentsController:self];
self.d1.delegate = self;
self.d1.searchResultsDataSource = self;
self.d1.searchResultsDelegate = self;
self.d1.searchResultsTableView.rowHeight = 40;
self.d1.displaysSearchBarInNavigationBar = YES;
self.searchBar.translucent = NO;
self.searchBar.barTintColor = [UIColor grayColor];
self.d1.searchBar.tintColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[searchBar sizeToFit];
}
when you click on search icon
For search button you can use UIBarButtonSystemItemSearch if need.
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemSearch
target:self
action:#selector(actionSearch:)];
and you can set searchbar as title view of navigationbar
self.navigationItem.titleView = mySearchBar;
