I have an .xib file connected to a ViewController, which is init'ed as the root controller of an instance of UINavigationController in my appDelegate.
In that view, I have a UISearchBar and a UITableView below it.
When the view loads up, there's a navigationBar at the top, followed by a ~20 pixel gap, and then the UISearchBar, and the table beneath it:
My problem is that when I enter the UISearchBar to type something, the navigation bar disappears (which is fine), but the search box is all screwy:
I'm pretty new to this (a couple of weeks), so I'm not quite sure what's going on. Can anyone help me shed some light on this?
Did you pull the search bar into the parent view or into the table view? The search bar should be the header view for the table, and not as a standalone view. If you want it to be standalone anyway, make sure your autoresizing flags are correct (under cmd-3 (size) in the inspector in Interface Builder); the search bar should stick to the top and not be flexible in height.

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 have one UIViewController with two UIViews on it. In the Navigation bar, when one button is pushed one of the UIViews is displayed and when the other button is pushed the other UIView is displayed. I want to put a UITableView on one of the views. However, the UITableView requires the UIViewController to use the UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSource. Having implemented this for my UIView (subview) containing the UTTableView, when I click on the button for the other view, which does not contain a table, I get errors and the application croaks.
I am assuming (possibly incorrectly) that my issue is that I am trying to use the same UIViewController for both subviews, but only one contains a table.
Question 1) Is it possible to do what I described above? Meaning, if I had a problem then something was not connected up correctly.
So, I went down a path of creating two separate UIViewControllers; one for each view. Not sure this is the smart approach. Now I am just looking for advice on the best way to do this. Thank you in advance for your help.
To be more clear about what I am trying to do. I want the blue view to be put where the pink view is when the first button on the bar is clicked and I want the yellow view to be put where the pink view is when the second button is clicked. Essentially the pink view will never be displayed and may not even need to be on the UtilityViewController.
Having each as a UIViewController (or a subclass thereof) is the way to go about what you are trying to do. The UITabBarController does this already: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UITabBarController_Class/Reference/Reference.html
I want to create table view inside of UIViewController like a below picture (I mean the second screen)
what is the best solution? "creating UIViewController then tableView and inside of tableView having custom cell"?
would you please give me some hint?
Thanks in advance!
So basically you want the tableview to not fill up the entire space. Yes, you can surely do UIViewController, let it implement UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSource protocols, throw in a tableview and hook up the protocols, and use custom cells.
If you only want the tableview to not fill up the space horizontally (but it can still scroll all the way until it reaches your navbar), then you can just create a UITableViewController, and set up your cell background in the way you want. More specifically, you create 640px (or 320px) wide background images still, but only the central 600px, say, is filled in. The 20px to the right and left are transparent. (You need png to do this, of course) If you apply this background to your cells and apply another background to your self.view, then you can actually see your view background under the 20px on the two sides.
Note that if you choose the second approach, the cells are still full width; it's just that you are visually making them look like narrower. That's perfectly ok, but you need to customize your highlight background, too.
Looking at your picture, it seems you need to create UINavigation Controller as your parent view controller and add UITabBarViewController as its rootview. then in your second tab when your click on the cell inside the table, you pushview to another view which displays your picture
create a tab bar controller project. Every tabbar item will be a navigation controller.
Tat way u can manage both the navigation and tabs.
I was looking to implement something like the image below, and really have no idea how it's done and was wondering if someone had a quick design idea (no code is necessary or anything). Is it a footer view for the table view? is it some unknown footer view for a popover controller? Is it some way to integrate a toolbar from the UINavigationController 'into' the popover? I guess I could always create a custom view and display it 'like' a popover. Thanks for any help.
UIPopoverController will actually do a lot of that for you. If you set its content view controller to a UINavigationController, the contents of that navigation controller’s current view controller’s navigation item will display embedded in the top of the popover. I believe setting the view controller’s (not the navigation controller’s) toolbarItems will have the same effect at the bottom.
In this case, it looks like they wrote a custom popover controller; it doesn’t have an arrow attached, and the top of it is shaded a little differently from the standard UIPopoverController. But I’m pretty sure you can use the methods I just described to achieve a similar effect without having to roll your own popover.
I'm an sdk newbie, so please forgive the simplicity of this question. Here's the scenario:
I used the Utility Based application template because I like the flip effect of the info button. I changed the info button to a round rect button and made a copy of it that to have two round rect buttons on my first view. I modified the flipside view to display a picture and that functionality works fine. For the second button I wanted it to flip to a tableview underneath the navigation bar. I added a navViewController for the navigation bar and a TableViewController for the tableview. I made a nib for that View, added the tableview, hooked up all the appropriate connections, but when I run it, the flip works fine, but there is no tableview displayed. What I mean by no tableview is it is blank. No lines or anything, just a blank navigation bar at top and blank white space. Please help! Thanks!
With limited information you have given here:
Potential Problem 1 - First Level UIViewController is not linked
If you open NIB file in interface builder where you have drag and dropped NavigationViewController, you will see small disclosure triangle. If you expand that you will see NavigationBar and UIViewController. Select the UIViewController and change it to name of the TableViewController.
The NIB file will change and say View Loaded from YourTableViewController.
Potential Problem 2 - You have to do addSubView or insertSubView and pass in [navigationController view]
If you post some code it may be helpful.
Hope this Helps!
