UITexFiled always clear when I hit return - objective-c

Question

I add a UITexfield programatically on my view. When I use keyboard and hit return button texfield cleared automatically and I don't want this.
Here is my code;
UITextField * eventListSeractTextField = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(headerView.frame.size.width-112,4, 110, 20)];
eventListSeractTextField.backgroundColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
eventListSeractTextField.layer.cornerRadius=3.0f;
eventListSeractTextField.tag=101;
eventListSeractTextField.delegate=self;
eventListSeractTextField.autocapitalizationType=UITextAutocapitalizationTypeNone;
eventListSeractTextField.autocorrectionType=UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
eventListSeractTextField.spellCheckingType=UITextSpellCheckingTypeNo;
eventListSeractTextField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
eventListSeractTextField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeySearch;
eventListSeractTextField.placeholder=#"Search";
eventListSeractTextField.clearsOnBeginEditing=false;
[eventListSeractTextField setClearsOnBeginEditing:false];
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField{
switch (textField.tag) {
case 101:
[textField resignFirstResponder];
return false;
break;
default:
return YES;
}
return YES;
}
How can I avoid this?

My guess is that you are recreating the textview each time since you did it in code. Check where you are calling this line of code:
UITextField * eventListSeractTextField = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(headerView.frame.size.width-112,4, 110, 20)];
You should only need to create the textView once in viewDidLoad. The easier way would be to do it in storyboard if you are familiar with storyboard
