How to exit from the search on clicking on Cancel button?

Question

I have a search bar with cancel button. But when I click on Cancel button it doesn\'t close the search bar. How can I make that on click on Cancel it will return search bar to t

Answer 1

Very quick and simple. Just conform to the UISearchBarDelegate protocol, and then implement this function in your class:

func searchBarCancelButtonClicked(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
    searchBar.resignFirstResponder()
}

resign means that it will quit

FirstResponder is the focus of the view

In conclusion, this takes focus away from the search bar, effectively canceling it.
