UISearchBar presented by UISearchController in table header view animates too far when active

Question

I am using UISearchController to present a search bar inside the header view of a tableview:

...
self.searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation =         


        

Answer 1

If you use UINavigationController and TabBar you can't use:

self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true

You would need this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46151063/3369381

Answer 2

In my case, setting the nav bar to self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO; fixed the problem. It seems that the search bar presentation layer doesn't take into account the translucence of the nav bar when laying out the search bar.

I realize this isn't a perfect solution, because the translucence of the nav bar can throw off layout elsewhere, but it at least fixes the problem in the case where a non-translucent nav bar is a possibility.

Answer 3

As mentioned in the first post everyone needed a different solution. So here is mine. I had to combine two things mentioned on this page, namely:

Swift 2:

    navigationController?.navigationBar.translucent = true

    edgesForExtendedLayout = .None
