I want to use a UISearchBar that doesn't move, like in Apple's Contacts app. I also want to these components at the same depth, and I don't want the search bar in the tableview header.
UINavigationBar
UISearchBar
UITableView
When I try to attach UISearchBar below UINavigationBar in storyboard, interface builder doesn't show me suitable guideline. The guideline only generates when in tableview.
Is there no way to attach the search bar below UINavigationBar without programming?
I'm also searching an elegant way to build the search bar..
What I have now is a UINavigationController, inside which I have a UIViewController.
This UIViewController contains UISearchBar and UITableView. You can program the search bar on top and tableView below it.
vborra's link also helps.
It is easy to do what you are looking for, UISearchBar is somewhat meant for this. See the tutorial Here: http://www.appcoda.com/search-bar-tutorial-ios7/

I had a tableviewcontroller with a SearchController I managed programmatically. For some reasons, I need to have a storyboard to display things a bit differently not anymore a tabéeview in full screen.
Everything is going fine with a container view inside my storyboard. The container view is linked to my custom tableviewcontroller which was managing my searchbar. When I instantiate an object, I can see my custom tableView (with a searchbar lying at the top) in the same way it was before.
I would like to remove the search bar embeded to my tableview (i.e in my tableviewcontroller) and add it directly in the storyboard (to have more at the top of my screen with free space between the search bar and the table view. I tried to insert a searchbar and displaycontroller but I am stuck in the sense I cannot link the searchBar to my tableViewController.
How can I do to link the searchbar in the UIViewController to the tableviewcontroller in the containerview? My tableviewcontroller conforms to the protocol necessary to have a searchbar working still there was no problem when they were not gathered inside a storyboard.
Here is an image if it can help.
If anyone could help me to link the searchbar and the tableviewcontroller...
Thanks!
I'm trying to replicate the functionality in the Facebook for iOS app where the UISearchBar in the navigation bar is 'shared' between view controllers. For example, tapping on the search bar on the home News Feed view appears to push a new view controller and 'transfer' the search bar to the new view controller. The search bar size is resized and animated alongside view controller transitions (including when using the 'interactive pop' transition, as depicted in the screenshot below). This behaviour is exhibited in various ways throughout the app. Is there a standard way to achieve this behaviour in UIKit, or are Facebook somehow applying custom transitions/animations to the navigation bar and search bar?
Having had a quick play with it, first I'd say that the main screen is split into several parts. Its hard to know what those objects are, but at a guess, I'd say theyve got a UIViewController that just contains the search bar and other 'navigation' elements. Below that theres another UIViewController that contains the newsfeed, and that is a flexible space in that various other things (custom) can happen in there. Both of these are likely set as 'ChildViewControllers' within a parent ViewController. This allows you to for eg, get several UIViewControllers onto the same UIViewController space in interface builder.
Their search bar itself is highly customized and might not even be based on a UISearchBar. Theyve probably just created a fully custom UIView with a UITextView to type into and lots of other custom animation going on. Still, you can achieve much of what they are doing by using a UISearchBar.
So going this way, the search bar remains the same search bar, while content changes below. If you for eg do a search, then the search results appear below, but that same UISearchBar stays visible above.
An alternative approach that I might do if not using ChildViewControllers (I've gone off that method), would be to simply use UIView based objects within a single UIViewController. So a UISearchBar at the top, probably within a parent UIView. And another UIView below to contain the feed and everything else. Again, just search using the single UISearchBar and change the contents of the UIView below as required.
I'm newbie with iOS and asking for direction.
I want to make a page which contains navigation buttons on top and when tap load different UICollectionView's as you can see on the app screen taken from "Fancy". Also buttons line have to be fixed on top while scrolling down. (just like in the screenshot)
Which is the right approach?
Base class to be UICollectionViewController and adding as SubView
Using UIScrollViewController?
etc...
Thanks in advance.
Base class should be UiViewController implementing UICollectionViewDelegate
UIViewController <UICollectionViewDataSource,UICollectionViewDelegate,UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout>
Create different NSArray for each Category of your project as datasource of UICollectionView
use UISegmentedControl for switching the datasource of UICollectionView and reload UICollectionView to display different content.
You can customise your Segmented Control as you wanted.
Implement UITabbarController for the bottom bar to enter any other views
There are a number of ways to go about this. The simplest would probably be to use a UIViewController subclass whose view contains a UISegmentedControl subview (for the navigation controls) and a UICollectionView subview for the content.
I wonder if it is possible to create a UITabBarController without declaring, one uiNavigationController?
because in some examples that I find on the internet, all make use of navigationcontroller and then report a tab bar, as I am a beginner, I would like you answer me the question above
Yes; any viewcontroller can be embedded within a tabBarController. Ray Wenderlich has a good tutorial here:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/50308/storyboards-tutorial-in-ios-7-part-1
You don't need a nav controller for use tab controller. Just create a tab bar controller, setup him, and insert controllers you want.
hi i have implemented UIPageControl on top of UIViewController , and i'm trying to implement at the vary left side of the page control a UISearchBar and UITableView
i spend so time on the internet looking for a solution .
what i need to do ??
to put the UISearchBar on UIView or there is something else?
Check out UISearchDisplayController and the related sample code. It won't work right out of the box. Especially if you want to have a black background rather than a table view when you start.
If UISearchDisplayController doesn't work you can do use a UISearchBar on a UIView and respond to the UISearchBarDelegate in your controller. By implementing searchBar:textDidChange: and showing a custom UITableView when text is entered and then hidden or removed when the search field is empty you can provide the desired functionality.
