Question

I used below code for changing UISearchBar textfield background color.

[[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setDefaultTextAttributes         


        

Answer 1

Just try this code

[[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];

OR

Try this

- (void)viewDidLoad
    {
        [super viewDidLoad];

        //change the background color

 [[self searchViewForTextFieldBg:self.searchTextfield] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];

//change the textcolor
self.searchTextfield.textColor =[UIColor greenColor];

    }

    - (UITextField*)searchViewForTextFieldBg:(UIView*)view
{
    if ([view isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]]) {
        return (UITextField*)view;
    }
    UITextField *searchTextField;
    for (UIView *subview in view.subviews) {
        searchTextField = [self searchViewForTextFieldBg:subview];
        if (searchTextField) {
            break;
        }
    }
    return searchTextField;
}
