Hide UITableView search bar by default when in a navigation controller

Question

I\'ve read multiple posts on this but it\'s not working properly for me. I\'m using the latest 4.2 SDK.

The code I have is

self.tableView.contentOffset =         


        

Answer 1

Another approach should be...in viewDidLoad call:

self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame.size.height, 0, 0, 0);

and implementing endDragging delegate method:

-(void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate{
    CGPoint offset = self.tableView.contentOffset;

    CGFloat barHeight = self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame.size.height;
    if (offset.y <= barHeight/2.0f) {
        self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
    } else {
        self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-barHeight, 0, 0, 0);
    }

    self.tableView.contentOffset = offset;
}

setting content is to remove some "flickering"

also if You want searchbar to stick at the top, implement didScroll this way:

-(void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
     CGRect sbFrame = self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame;
     sbFrame.origin.y = self.tableView.contentOffset.y;
     if (sbFrame.origin.y > 0) {
         sbFrame.origin.y = 0;
     }
     self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame = sbFrame;
}

I hope this will help (took me few days to figure out:) )

Cheers!

UPDATE:

As @carbonr noted You should add this line in viewDidLoad since iOS7+

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
