UISearchBar - addSubview issue? - objective-c

Question

I'm trying to add UISearchBar (fixed position!) on top of the UITableView.
CGRect rect = self.headerView.frame;
CGRect newRect = CGRectMake(0,
rect.origin.y + rect.size.height,
rect.size.width,
CZP_SEARCHBAR_HEIGHT);
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:newRect];
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
Result (i got a white rect on position where i want my bar):
But if i want to add subview to my view, searchbar appear on 1st cell of tableview (below my view!)
[view addSubview:searchBar];

Here's one way to do it. It looks like you're trying to do it in code instead of a storyboard, so this is a code example. It also looks like you're doing it in a popover of sorts, I put together a quick project as an example that uses a popover, it doesn't look exactly like yours, but it's close enough to get you where you're trying to go I think.
First, here's the code sample, this is from the view controller that contains the header, search bar and tableview.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// get the desired size for this popover and setup our header height
CGSize viewSize = self.preferredContentSize; // could also be self.view.bounds.size depending on where you're using it
CGFloat headerHeight = 44.0;
// setup our desired frames
CGRect headerFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, viewSize.width, headerHeight);
CGRect searchContainerFrame = CGRectMake(0, headerHeight, viewSize.width, headerHeight);
// for this frame I'm simply centering it, there's better ways to do it but this is an example
CGRect searchBarFrame = CGRectMake(5, 5, searchContainerFrame.size.width - 10, searchContainerFrame.size.height - 10);
// set our tableview frame to be positioned below our header and search container frame
CGRect tableviewFrame = CGRectMake(0, headerHeight *2, viewSize.width, viewSize.height - (headerHeight * 2));
// create our header view and set it's background color
UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:headerFrame];
headerView.backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
// create our container view to hold the search bar (not needed really, but if you want it contained in a view here's how)
UIView *searchContainer = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:searchContainerFrame];
searchContainer.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
// instantiate our search bar
UISearchBar *searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:searchBarFrame];
// add the search bar to the container view
[searchContainer addSubview:searchBar];
// create our tableview and position it below our header and search containers
UITableView *tableview = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:tableviewFrame];
tableview.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[self.view addSubview:headerView];
[self.view addSubview:searchContainer];
[self.view addSubview:tableview];
}
That snippet gives me a popover with an orange header, a green/grey search bar and a tableview beneath it.
EDIT: If you're interested in looking through the project file that I used to put this together you can download it off github here
