iOS 7 UISearchBar right spacing - ios

Question

Don't know why, my search bar in iOS 7 is leaving a right space. It's ok in iOS 6.
I know it has something to do with the section index, because if I remove it the space disappears, but I don't know how to fix it. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Embed your UISearchBar in a UIView and then add that as the tableHeaderView. Structuring it that way in a storyboard worked for me. I'm guessing iOS resizes the UISearchBar in the tableHeaderView, but leaves a basic UIView alone (and doesn't bother to look inside it).
You might also want to make the section index transparent, which I did with:
[[UITableView appearance] setSectionIndexBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[[UITableView appearance] setSectionIndexTrackingBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

Answer 2

Until a better answer appears, I just manually changed the frame of the search bar like this:
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
[super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
CGRect barFrame = self.searchBar.frame;
barFrame.size.width = self.view.bounds.size.width;
self.searchBar.frame = barFrame;
}

Answer 3

I had this same issue with the iPhone 6/ 6Plus when using a SearchDisplayController. (Using Swift)
I tried setting the frame of the search bar but with no luck but i noticed that if i tapped on the textField of the UISearchBar and then cancelled it then it would take on the proper size of the view. I therefore managed to fix the issue by calling the code below in ViewDidLoad of the viewController using the search.
self.searchController.setActive(true, animated: false)
self.searchController.setActive(false, animated: false)

Answer 4

self.contactsTableView.sectionIndexBackgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
The reason for that white edge is because your index layer has a white background and is on top of the search bar. This should be sufficient.

Answer 5

Add the search bar inside a UIView put as tableView's header view. Set the tableview's sectionIndexBackgroundColor to clear color because it covers the header.
Tested with iOS 7, 7.1;

Answer 6

Because the table view always leaves 15px on the right for section Indexes View, so you should resize the Seach bar after reloading the table view
First:
self.tblData.sectionIndexBackgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; //(iOS >= 7 only)
Cheating time:
- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate
{
[self performSelector:#selector(resizeSearchBar) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.01];
}
- (void) resizeSearchBar
{
CGRect frame = self.searchBar.frame;
if (frame.size.width < self.tblData.frame.size.width) {
frame.size.width = self.tblData.frame.size.width;
}
self.searchBar.frame = frame;
}
- (void) reloadTableData // call it anytime you want to reload table view
{
[self.tblData reloadData];
[self performSelector:#selector(resizeSearchBar) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.01];
}
Suggest
Dont cheat like me, just do the simpler way:
self.searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyleMinimal; // iOS >= 7 only

Answer 7

I also attached a UISearcBar in my application, and nothing is wrong there even my application supports rotation also.
Could you try removing and re creating UISearchBar in storyboard/xib

Answer 8

I added the search bar as a subview of the top-level view instead of the table view. Used autolayout to pin the searchbar to the top guide, and a vertical space constraint of 0 between the search bar and the table view.

Answer 9

The accepted solution with the method viewDidLayoutSubviews makes the screen flicker.
Instead what I did was create a subclass of UISearchBar that simply does this:
FullWidthSearchBar.h:
#interface FullWidthSearchBar : UISearchBar
#end
FullWidthSearchBar.m:
#import "FullWidthSearchBar.h"
#implementation FullWidthSearchBar
- (void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame {
frame.size.width = self.superview.bounds.size.width;
[super setFrame:frame];
}
#end
And then I assigned that class to the search bar on my xib:

Answer 10

The problem is the right white block, so if we change the block color the same as the search bar background, it looks normal.
just
if (IOS7) {
self.tableview.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:self.searchBar.backgroundImage];
}
