UItextField within UISearchbar failing after iOS 7 upgrade

Question

I have a UITextField for the UISearchBar which this was working until iOS 7 upgrade and now it fails at this line: UITextField *textfield=(UITextField*)[[searchBar sub

Answer 1

How about a recursive method that can trick to work in any version

UITextField *searchBarTextField = [self findTextFieldFromControl:self.placeSearchBar];


- (UITextField *) findTextFieldFromControl:(UIView *) view
{
    for (UIView *subview in view.subviews)
    {
        if ([subview isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]])
        {
            return (UITextField *)subview;
        }
        else if ([subview.subviews count] > 0)
        {
            return [self findTextFieldFromControl:subview];
        }
    }
    return nil;
}
