UISearchDisplayController search bar types letters automatically - ios7

On editing the Search Bar in UISearchDisplayController, it repeats the first typed letter recursively until the second letter pressed.
Here is what happens:
Please suggest any possible solution.
Code:
-(BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString
{
[self filterContent:searchString scope:
[[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar scopeButtonTitles] objectAtIndex:[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar selectedScopeButtonIndex]]];
return YES;
}
- (void)searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)SearchBar
{
[SearchBar resignFirstResponder];
SearchBar.text = #"";
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
- (void)searchDisplayControllerDidBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller
{
controller.searchBar.showsCancelButton = YES;
}
-(void)filterContent:(NSString*)searchText scope:(NSString*)scope
{
_searchArray = [[NSArray alloc] init];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSCompoundPredicate orPredicateWithSubpredicates:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"SELF.user_name contains[c] %#", searchText], [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"SELF.country_name contains[c] %#", searchText], [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"SELF.city contains[c] %#", searchText], nil]];
_searchArray = [_users filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];
}

#JananiM I think you having problem in this line [self filterContent:searchString...] which u assigned in your delegate method.
Try this one
- (BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString {
[self filterContentForSearchText:searchString
scope:[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar scopeButtonTitles][[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar selectedScopeButtonIndex]]];
return YES;
}
i have implemented your code (which you posted above) in my application.I didn't get anything like this.I have checked breakpoint too.Check this

UISearchDisplayController result table position issue in iOS7

Trying to implement UISearchBar into UINavigationBar my result tableview position become wrong (pic 2):
I've spent a couple of days to solve this issue, but there is no success )
Thanks!
EDITED
In my viewDidLoad:
[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar setPlaceholder:NSLocalizedString(#"SEARCH_PLACEHOLDER", nil)];
[self.searchDisplayController setDisplaysSearchBarInNavigationBar:YES];

//filter work repfectly

Custom NSPopupButtonCell in NSTableView

I am trying to create a custom popup menu in a tableview. As I understand it I can should be able to do so by calling the [NSPopupButtonCell setView:myView] method passing in the custom view (which is just a NSView with an NSOutlineView in it).
So I have created a NSPopupButtonCell subclass and during initialisation I call setView and pass in the custom outline view..
EDIT
In IB I have set the table columns cell to a Popup Button Cell and set
the class to my custom LookupPopupButtonCell.
I still don't get my custom view displaying but my custom classes
initialisation methods appear to be getting called.
I have since replaced this approach with using a NSTableViewDelegate method dataCellForTableColumn. Now the popup shows my custom tableView.
Still no joy in getting the NSOutlineViewDelegate methods called though.
EDIT
OK I have managed to get things working using a NSPopupButton on a view. delegate works find and table view displays things fine. Seems that using NSPopupButtonCell the delegate methods never get called.

It seems you must use a VIEW based tableView to get the delegate messages. Blah, now to figure out how to bind one of them to Core Data, hopefully its not too hard !
Is there any way to reuse the same menu for each row ? I guess as long as the dataSource is not recreated each time its probably not too bad, still there could be lots of rows in this hierarchy!

NSPredicate not filtering UITableView?

For some reason NSPredicate isn't filtering my UITableView (it's supposed to be filtering my TableView by selections made in a UIPickerView). Users make their pickerview selections, press the GO button (segue is attached from Pickerview to Table View controller).
Any idea as to why it isn't working? See code below.

Very puzzling, your code actually seems ok to me. I'd start by NSLoging searchResults right after the searchResults = [Strains filteredArrayUsingPredicate:resultPredicate]; line is fired, just in case something funny is happening in the table view delegates.
You should also probably check out the free Sensible TableView framework, as it provides automatic searching and filtering for your data. Should save you a ton of time.
It seems your Strains array contains dictionaries. So you should decide on what key you want to filter, for example the Title key, instead of using SELF:
NSPredicate *resultPredicate = [NSPredicate
predicateWithFormat:#"Title contains[cd] %#",
searchText];
From the pickerViewController, you need to go back to the tableViewController. You can use delegate. And try to make a separate function in the table view controller to filter which contains the predicate:
- (void)filterContentForPicker:(NSString*)searchText
{
NSPredicate *resultPredicate = [NSPredicate
predicateWithFormat:#"Title contains[cd] %#",
searchText];
searchResults = [Strains filteredArrayUsingPredicate:resultPredicate];
[self.tableView reloadData]
}

-initWithContentsOfFile: for an NSMutableArray

I stored images in an NSMutableArray, and now I'm trying to get them to show up in viewDidLoad. I tried calling initWithContentsOfFile, but that doesn't seem to work. This is how the code looks:
imageView.image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[self.array objectAtIndex:0]];
I'm not sure what I should use instead of initWithContentsOfFile to have the saved images load, I'm not even sure if I can save images in a plist through user defaults. I've been researching it for awhile now to no avail. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: Here is additional code:
- (IBAction)grabImage {
self.imgPicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
self.imgPicker.delegate = self;
self.imgPicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
_popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:imgPicker];
[_popover presentPopoverFromRect:self.imageView.bounds inView:self.imageView permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}
else {
[self presentModalViewController:imgPicker animated:YES];
}
[self.imgPicker resignFirstResponder];
}
// Sets the image in the UIImageView
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)img editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editInfo {
if (imageView.image == nil) {
imageView.image = img;
[self.array addObject:imageView.image];
[picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[self.popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
return;
}
if (imageView2.image == nil) {
imageView2.image = img;
NSLog(#"The image is a %#", imageView);
[self.array addObject:imageView2.image];
[picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[self.popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
return;
}
if (imageView3.image == nil) {
imageView3.image = img;
[self.array addObject:imageView3.image];
[picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[self.popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
return;
}
}
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication*)application {
NSLog(#"Image on didenterbackground: %#", imageView);
[self.array addObject:imageView.image];
[self.array addObject:imageView2.image];
[self.array addObject:imageView3.image];
[self.user setObject:self.array forKey:#"images"];
[user synchronize];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
self.user = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSLog(#"It is %#", self.user);
self.array = [[self.user objectForKey:#"images"]mutableCopy];
imageView.image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[self.array objectAtIndex:0]];
imageView2.image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[self.array objectAtIndex:1]];
imageView3.image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[self.array objectAtIndex:2]];
UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(applicationDidEnterBackground:)
name:UIApplicationDidEnterBackgroundNotification
object:app];
backToGalleryButton.hidden = YES;
tapToDeleteLabel.hidden = YES;
deleteButton1.hidden = YES;
[super viewDidLoad];
}
EDIT: This is how I'm tagging the images and deleting them based upon their tags:
- (IBAction)deleteButtonPressed:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"Sender is %#", sender);
UIAlertView *deleteAlertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Delete"
message:#"Are you sure you want to delete this photo?"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"No"
otherButtonTitles:#"Yes", nil];
[deleteAlertView show];
int imageIndex = ((UIButton *)sender).tag;
deleteAlertView.tag = imageIndex;
}
- (UIImageView *)viewForTag:(NSInteger)tag {
UIImageView *found = nil;
for (UIImageView *view in self.array) {
if (tag == view.tag) {
found = view;
break;
}
}
return found;
}
- (void)alertView: (UIAlertView *) alertView
clickedButtonAtIndex: (NSInteger) buttonIndex
{
if (buttonIndex != [alertView cancelButtonIndex]) {
NSLog(#"User Clicked Yes. Deleting index %d of %d", alertView.tag, [array count]);
NSLog(#"The tag is %i", alertView.tag);
UIImageView *view = [self viewForTag:alertView.tag];
if (view) {
[self.array removeObject:view];
}
NSLog(#"After deleting item, array count = %d", [array count]);
NSLog(#"Returned view is :%#, in view: %#", [self.view viewWithTag:alertView.tag], self.view);
((UIImageView *)[self.view viewWithTag:alertView.tag]).image =nil;
}
[self.user setObject:self.array forKey:#"images"];
}
The problem is that you can't store images in a property list, which is what you're trying to do when you save it in the user defaults. You need to use an archiver to convert the image to an NSData object which you can store.
It looks like you're not passing a valid image path to the initializer method. Make sure the path is correct, and that it includes the image extension.
Really, though, you shouldn't be calling initWithContentsOfFile: in this case, because UIImageView's image property retains the image when you set it. That will usually lead to a memory leak (unless you're using automatic reference counting). Use one of the static initializers instead, such as imageNamed:, which has the added bonuses of using the system cache and also automatically loading the correct version of the image based on the characteristics of the device (for instance, it will load a higher resolution variant of the image if the device has a retina display).

Passing a string to another view

I have a UITextField in my first view that accepts search criteria however my search box is in my second view. The idea is to pass the textfield data that the user enters into the search box that filters a table view in the second view controller. I have tried setting the secondviewcontroller.searchText = self.search.text however it doesn't seem to be updating the search box in the second view controller with the new data. My code is as follows:
First View.m
- (IBAction)search:(id)sender
{
PlaceList *placelist = [[PlaceList alloc] initWithNibName:#"PlaceList" bundle:nil];
NSLog(#"%#", search.text);
placelist.searchBar.text = search.text;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:placelist animated:YES];
[placelist release];
}
PlaceList.m
#pragma mark UISearchBarDelegate
- (void)searchBarTextDidBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
// only show the status bar’s cancel button while in edit mode
useSearchData = YES;
self.searchBar.showsCancelButton = YES;
self.searchBar.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
// flush the previous search content
[tableData removeAllObjects];
}
- (void)searchBarTextDidEndEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
self.searchBar.showsCancelButton = NO;
}
- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText
{
if([searchText isEqualToString:#""] && [__searchBar.text isEqualToString:#""]){ //if nothing is in the search bar show normal table
useSearchData = NO;
[self.tableView reloadData];
[self.searchBar resignFirstResponder];
return;
}
else
{
searchText = __searchBar.text;
useSearchData=YES;
NSPredicate * p = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"name contains[cd] %#",searchText]; //comparing stored locations to searchText
self.searchResults = [CoreDataBasicService fetchResultsForEnity:#"Place" WithPredicate:p andSortDiscriptor:#"name" Ascending:YES];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
}
- (void)searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
useSearchData = NO;
[self.searchResults removeAllObjects];
[self.tableView reloadData];
[self.searchBar resignFirstResponder];
self.searchBar.text = #"";
}
-(void)searchBarSearchButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)_searchBar
{
[searchBar resignFirstResponder];
}
When the search IBAction is pressed I want to push to the placeList view and update the search with the text the user entered in the textfield on the first view controller.
Thanks in advance.
Try initializing PlaceList(VC) with the search Text, saving it to an instance variable. Then, in your PlaceList(VC)'s ViewDidLoad Method, set the text there
