UISearchbar clearButton forces the keyboard to appear

Question

I have a UISearchBar which acts as a live filter for a table view. When the keyboard is dismissed via endEditing:, the query text and the gray circular \"clear\" button rem

Answer 1

Touching the clear button results in searchText being empty. Another way to achieve this is to check for empty text in - (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)bar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText:

- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText
{
    if([searchText length] == 0)
    {
        [self dismissSearch];
    }
    else
    {
        self.searchResultsTable.hidden = YES;
        [self handleSearchForString:searchText];
    }
}

- (void)dismissSearch
{
    [self.searchBar performSelector: @selector(resignFirstResponder)
                  withObject: nil
                  afterDelay: 0.1];

    self.searchResultsTable.hidden = YES;
}
