For a view controller using a search display controller, you can set self.searchDisplayController.active = NO; // or: [self.searchDisplayController setActive:NO animated:YES]; to dismiss the search interface.
This method worked in iOS7. – (void)enableCancelButton:(UISearchBar *)searchBar { for (UIView *view in searchBar.subviews) { for (id subview in view.subviews) { if ( [subview isKindOfClass:[UIButton class]] ) { [subview setEnabled:YES]; NSLog(@”enableCancelButton”); return; } } } } (Also be sure to call it anywhere after [_searchBar resignFirstResponder] is used.)
I suggest yet a different option for iOS 5.0 and up: [[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:14]]; for iOS 8 (as linked by Mike Gledhill): [[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setDefaultTextAttributes:@{ NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:@”Helvetica” size:20], }]; for iOS 9 and above: [[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses:@[[UISearchBar class]]] setDefaultTextAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:@”Helvetica” size:20]}]; This way you don’t need to mess with … Read more
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
for iOS5+ use the appearance proxy [[UILabel appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setTextColor:[UIColor redColor]];
Our problem was that the tint color was set to white, so I didn’t see it.
To put searchBar into the center of navigationBar: self.navigationItem.titleView = self.searchBarTop; To put searchBar to the left/right side of navigationBar: UIBarButtonItem *searchBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:searchBar]; self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = searchBarItem;
It´s a known issue on which Apple is working on. Should be fixed in the next beta release. Have a look here: Xcode Number pad with decimal error Edit: For those who have that issue with a textfield maybe this should get you around: From Apple Developer Forums bye Popeye7 – So all credits to … Read more
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
I’m not sure what exactly is the problem but I ‘fixed’ it by: self.searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = NO; self.definesPresentationContext = NO; My guess is that UISearchController is doing something funky when it is trying to present as a navigation bar. So, this is a hack but it at least doesn’t block the user. The search bar doesn’t … Read more
