uisearchcontroller

As I understand, the default behaviour of UISearchController is: On tapping search bar, background is dimmed and 'cancel' button is shown. SearchResultsController is not shown till this point. SearchResultsController is displayed only if search bar is not empty. I want to display SearchResultsController even when search bar is empty but selected (i.e is case 1 above). Simply put, instead of background dimming, I would like to show Search results. Is there a way for doing this? More Clarification: I am not using UISearchController to filter results shown on the view on which it is shown, but

I'd like to change the text from ¨Cancel¨to ¨Done¨ of the Cancel button inside the UISearchBar in iOS 8. I am using UISearchController. I've tried different approaches for iOS 6 and iOS 7 and they do not work. Has anybody done this? Objective-C: [searchBar setValue:@"customString" forKey:@"_cancelButtonText"]; Swift: searchBar.setValue("customString", forKey:"_cancelButtonText") polo987 This worked for me in ios8, did not try in ios7, but should do the trick, beware of placing this line in the early times of the app cycle (eg : appDelegate) [[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:

I have previously asked a question about searching for users the most cost-efficient way (without having to load up every user in the entire database. My code before the question was class FollowUsersTableViewController: UIViewController{ @IBOutlet var tableView: UITableView! private var viewIsHiddenObserver: NSKeyValueObservation? let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil) var usersArray = [UserModel]() var filteredUsers = [UserModel]() var loggedInUser: User? // var databaseRef = Database.database().reference() //usikker på den koden over override func

I have just implemented a UISearchController in a regular UIViewController, and I have a kind of weird issue. I have a UIView that is adapted exactly to the size I want my UISearchBar to take. On first launch of the view, I add my UISearchBar as a SubView to this UIView. But when I launch it, the UISearchBar doesn't take the size of its parent UIView -- it just takes the width of the whole screen. As you can see, it overlaps with the button on the right. But once I click on the search bar and cancel it, it resizes to the exact size I want. What could be the issue here? I've tried adding

In my project I'm using a UITableViewController with an internal UISearchController to filter the data in my tableView . I have no problem to filter the data but I need to make a date of my tableView reload when I click on the CANCEL button UISearchController but I can not find the delegate method for this ... Can you help me understand how to solve this problem? Gargoyle You need to set the UISearchController searchBar's delegate . Once you have done this, the addition of the delegate method searchBarCancelButtonClicked: will properly be called. self.searchController.searchBar.delegate = self

Note 1: This question pertains to adding a UISearchController's search bar outside of the table view it updates - NOT as the table view's header. Note 2: Some trial and error led me to a solution. Please see my answer below. I am new to iOS development and am struggling to work with the UISearchController class. I have a view controller, and in my view controller's view, I plan to have a search bar above a table view. I would like the search bar to be linked to a UISearchController. Since interface builder does not come with a UISearchController, I am adding the controller programmatically.

The search bar is appearing exactly 64 points too low: All of the other frames are exactly correct. Edit: - It's the UISearchController 's view that is getting the wrong origin.y . It gets set to 64, when it should be 0. If I add this method: - (void)didPresentSearchController:(UISearchController *)searchController { [super didPresentSearchController:searchController]; searchController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, searchController.view.frame.size.width, searchController.view.frame.size.height); } Then the views align. However, its janky because it jumps. If I modify the frame in
