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

You can set the initial bounds of the table view inside viewDidLoad, so the search bar appears hidden at the beginning.

You have to create the searchBar property and then use following code:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    //...
    CGRect bounds = self.tableView.bounds;
    bounds.origin.y = self.tableView.bounds.origin.y + searchBar.bounds.size.height;
    self.tableView.bounds = bounds;
    //...
}
