Question

I\'m using a UISearchDisplayController with a UISearchBar. I put this UISearchBar in my app using IB and I get :

Answer 1

Does [searchDisplayController setActive:NO animated:YES]; not work then?

Answer 2

Can you add some more details on how you have wired up the UISearchDisplayController in IB? It does not do anything special with UIPopoverControllers on the iPad so I assume you have set the searchContentsController to a controller that is a UIPopoverController? If so then you already have the reference you need, though normally you do not need to dismiss this view, it is dismissed for you when you cancel the search.

Answer 3

None of above solutions worked for me, but I solved it with this:

    [self.searchDisplayController setActive:NO animated:YES];
    [searchBar becomeFirstResponder];

This way cursor stays in the field but popover is dismissed when there are no results.

Full code:

- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText {
    if ([searchText isEqualToString:@""]) {
        [self.searchDisplayController setActive:NO animated:YES];
        [searchBar becomeFirstResponder];
    }
}
