How to implement UISearchController in UITableView – Swift

by

Yes, the way search works has been radically changed for what I consider to be a better system. The new system is much better and straight to the point for most simple implementations. Using it is pretty straightforward. First, make your class comply with the UISearchResultsUpdating protocol. class MyTableViewController: UITableViewController, UISearchResultsUpdating {} Add it the … Read more

Cannot set searchBar as firstResponder

by

I noticed this issue too. What seems to happen is the call to becomeFirstResponder is done when the searchController is still ‘loading’. If you comment out becomeFirstResponder you notice that there is no difference. So we need a way to call becomeFirstResponder after the searchController is ‘done’ loading. When I looked at various delegate methods … Read more

Smart-search for Parse Usernames in Swift not working

It uses a UISearchController (introduced in iOS 8) which has to be added programmatically instead of through the storyboard, but don’t worry, it’s pretty straight-forward.

iOS 11 customise search bar in navigation bar

I just found out how to set also the rest of them: (with some help of Brandon, thanks!) The “Cancel” text: searchController.searchBar.tintColor = .white The search icon: searchController.searchBar.setImage(UIImage(named: “my_search_icon”), for: UISearchBarIcon.search, state: .normal) The clear icon: searchController.searchBar.setImage(UIImage(named: “my_search_icon”), for: UISearchBarIcon.clear, state: .normal) The search text: UITextField.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UISearchBar.self]).defaultTextAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor.rawValue: UIColor.white] Thanks for the help @Brandon! … Read more

Light gray background in “bounce area” of a UITableView

by

Setting transparencies is bad for performance. What you want is the gray area above the search bar, but it should still be white beyond the end of the list. You can add a subview to your UITableView that lives above the content instead. CGRect frame = self.list.bounds; frame.origin.y = -frame.size.height; UIView* grayView = [[UIView alloc] … Read more

UISearchBar presented by UISearchController in table header view animates too far when active

by

Old question but I was able to solve this issue by setting self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = YES; on my view controller. I think is issue is caused by having an opaque navigation bar but setting hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation to NO on your search controller, causing the search bar to incorrectly position itself when focused.

UISearchBar text color change in iOS 7

In iOS 7 to access Text Field you have to reiterate on level more. Change your code like this for (UIView *subView in self.searchBar.subviews) { for (UIView *secondLevelSubview in subView.subviews){ if ([secondLevelSubview isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]]) { UITextField *searchBarTextField = (UITextField *)secondLevelSubview; //set font color here searchBarTextField.textColor = [UIColor blackColor]; break; } } } Note : This … Read more

Cannot change search bar background color

Like @aliamcami, all the answers before did not work as I would expect, either the answer did not work for me or it works but it needs too much “dummy” code. So I share another answer wrote in Swift 4 with simplified logic: for textField in searchController.searchBar.subviews.first!.subviews where textField is UITextField { textField.subviews.first?.backgroundColor = .white … Read more
