UISearchController shifted up when typing under UINavigationController - swift

I embedded a viewcontroller(BlueViewController) in a navigation controller.
the blueViewController has a UISearchController that set as the blueViewController's tableView headerView.
the searchController works fine except when it's active, it shift up and hide behind the UINavigationController(or somewhere)
I've tried to add the search controller's searchBar as a subview to the viewController, or positions a UIView and assigned the searchBar to that UIView, none of these works
I have tried this link, doesn't work
Strange UISearchDisplayController view offset behavior in iOS 7 when embedded in navigation bar
here is the searchController in BlueViewController
let searchController:UISearchController = {
let controller = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
controller.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
controller.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
controller.searchBar.inputAssistantItem.leadingBarButtonGroups = []
controller.searchBar.inputAssistantItem.trailingBarButtonGroups = []
return controller
}()
In viewDidLoad
searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
searchController.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
definesPresentationContext = true
you can also find entire project here
https://github.com/QiquanLu/TestNavigationWithSearchController
Any hint would be appreciated, thanks!

For iOS 11 and above, you should be setting the searchController property on BlueViewController's navigationItem like so:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
}
Don't add it as the tableView's header.

Remove extra space on top of UISearchController in UINavBar

I added a UISearchController in the navigation bar. But it has this extra top padding which I don't want. I used UIsearchController instead of a UITextField because I need its searchResultsController. Is there a way to remove the extra space, or a way to copy the searchResultsController behavior with UITextField. I created the view programmatically btw.
override func viewDidLoad() {
setupSearchBar()
}
func setupSearchBar(){
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: ResultController)
searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "Search"
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = .yellow
}
Set 'automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets' to false
Setting the automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets value to false

Need to show navigation title while using searchBar in navigationBar

I need to show large navigation title while search with searchBar, but when I'm clicking on Searchbar or starting to type my NavigationTitle is replaced with SearchBar. I checked methods for navigationItem and didn't find any suitable.
Does anybody know how can we always show title, even while searching?
Here is my code
class FavouriteVC: UIViewController {
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = .white
navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
navigationItem.title = "Favourite"
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode = .always
}
}
And here are shots
screen with NavTitle
screen without NavTitle
Seems like UISearchController has a hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation that prevents the navigation bar from hiding when set to false
Include:
searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
in your viewDidLoad and if I've understood your issue right, this should do what you need.

Why my Searchbar stay at the top only if I use it?

I have a tableView containing a list. I use a searchbar to filter the data. When I touch chararcter in the search text, I can display filtered datas and the searchbar stay at the top when I scroll. But, if I don't use it (searchbar is empty), when I scroll, the searchbar is the first line of the list and disappear when I scroll down. You can find a part of code there :
class Liste*****Active: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, UISearchResultsUpdating,
UISearchBarDelegate,RecupListe*****ModelProtocol {
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
definesPresentationContext = true
ListeTab*****.tableHeaderView = searchController.searchBar
self.ListeTab*****.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
}
func updateSearchResults(for searchController: UISearchController) {
// If we haven't typed anything into the search bar then do not filter the results
if searchController.searchBar.text! == "" {
filtered*****s = feedItems
} else {
// Filter the results
filtered*****s = feedItems.filter { ($0 as! *****Model).nom*****!.lowercased().contains(searchController.searchBar.text!.lowercased()) } as! [*****Model] as NSArray
}
self.ListeTab*****.reloadData()
}
Nothing is defined in storyboard.
Did I forgot part of code ?
Thanks
Given your search bar is embedded in navigation bar, you need to override this behavior:
navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false
Update
You use searcher as table header.
ListeTab*****.tableHeaderView = searchController.searchBar
So that's basically an issue -- your search bar is part of the table content that's why it's getting scrolled. To avoid that you need to get your search bar out of the tableView.
Possible solutions:
Embedding searchBar into the navigation controller header view.
Adding a searchBar as a separate view on top of the table view in the view hierarchy

Adding searchBar to tableHeaderView adds bottom empty space

I need to add UISearchController to UIViewController I know that the best way to do it is adding it to UINavigationController like this:
let resultSearchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: athkarSearchTable)
resultSearchController?.searchResultsUpdater = athkarSearchTable
navigationItem.searchController = resultSearchController
The problem is I can't use UINavigationController so I found another solution: adding it to tableHeaderView like the following:
let resultSearchController = ({
let controller = UISearchController(searchResultsController: athkarSearchTable)
controller.searchResultsUpdater = athkarSearchTable
// to give a semi-transparent background when the search bar is selected.
controller.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = true
controller.searchBar.sizeToFit()
controller.searchBar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.default
controller.searchBar.searchBarStyle = .minimal
tableView.tableHeaderView = controller.searchBar
return controller
})()
// to limit the overlap area to just the View Controller’s frame instead of the whole Navigation Controller
definesPresentationContext = true
However, this solution adds an empty space to the bottom of the tableView in the UIViewController not the athkarSearchTable which is not good :/ as the screenshot below:
I tried to set the footer to an empty view and to set the height of footer to zero, none of them worked :/
Any suggestion how to remove the bottom empty space?
Problem solved by adding the following lines:
tableView.rowHeight = UITableView.automaticDimension
tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 400

iOS8 Swift UISearchController hides navigationbar

I implemented a search function for an UITableViewController like this:
self.resultSearchController = ({
let controller = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
controller.searchResultsUpdater = self
controller.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
controller.searchBar.sizeToFit()
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = controller.searchBar
return controller
})()
The problem I've been experiencing is that if I click on it, my navigation bar and my navigationcontrollers header disappear.
Is there a solution to stop this behaviour (in swift)?
Not clicked:
Clicked:
The UISearchController has a property called hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation, maybe that can help you.
EDIT: Just tried it myself and it works, just add this line:
searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
