I am trying to accomplish the same look of my UISearchBar with a TextField within it, as in my iOS 6 app. I have tried to code it in several ways and not yet been successful
Thanx to spotdog13. I finally managed to make it work for iOS 7 properly in the following way:
#define TABLE_BOTTOM_MARGIN 5
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_EQUAL_TO(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedSame)
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedDescending)
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedAscending)
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedDescending)
@interface HomeViewController ()
@end
@implementation HomeViewController
@synthesize searchBar;
@synthesize searchResults;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"7.0")) {
[searchBar sizeToFit]; // standard size
searchBar.delegate = self;
// Add search bar to navigation bar
self.navigationItem.titleView = searchBar;
}
}
- (BOOL)searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {
// Manually activate search mode
// Use animated=NO so we'll be able to immediately un-hide it again
[self.searchDisplayController setActive:YES animated:NO];
// Hand over control to UISearchDisplayController during the search
// searchBar.delegate = (id )self.searchDisplayController;
return YES;
}
#pragma mark
- (void) searchDisplayControllerDidBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController
// Un-hide the navigation bar that UISearchDisplayController hid
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:NO];
}
- (void) searchDisplayControllerWillEndSearch:(UISearchDisplayController
*)controller {
searchBar = (UISearchBar *)self.navigationItem.titleView;
// Manually resign search mode
[searchBar resignFirstResponder];
// Take back control of the search bar
searchBar.delegate = self;
}
