UISearchBar custom corners
(5 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
i had problem to change my search bar design programatically on navigation controller. i just want to make the search bar curve like image below:
i had try a lot of example in stack overflow, but i still failed to change the shape. Here what it looks like now:
and here is the source code, on what have already done:
//MARK for searchBar UI
searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
searchController.searchBar.placeholder = " Search for programs..."
searchController.searchBar.sizeToFit()
searchController.searchBar.isTranslucent = false
searchController.searchBar.backgroundImage = UIImage()
searchController.searchBar.delegate = self
navigationItem.titleView = searchController.searchBar
self.searchController.searchBar.layer.cornerRadius = 20.0
self.searchController.searchBar.clipsToBounds = true
// SearchBar text
let textFieldInsideUISearchBar = searchController.searchBar.value(forKey: "searchField") as? UITextField
textFieldInsideUISearchBar?.borderStyle = .roundedRect
textFieldInsideUISearchBar?.font = textFieldInsideUISearchBar?.font?.withSize(14)
and now, i really have no idea how to change it, thanks in advance.
This will help you,
let searchBar = UISearchBar()
On viewDidLoad()
searchBar.sizeToFit()
searchBar.placeholder = "Search"
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.green //this is just for reference
self.navigationItem.titleView = searchBar
if let textfield = searchBar.value(forKey: "searchField") as? UITextField {
textfield.textColor = UIColor.blue
if let backgroundview = textfield.subviews.first {
backgroundview.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
backgroundview.layer.cornerRadius = 20;
backgroundview.clipsToBounds = true;
}
}
Above code will give you following output,
increasing the corner radius should work

I have tried the following code to remove the gradient from navigation and make a transparent navigation bar for ios 15, But it didn't work on the same whereas in the lower version it works perfectly fine.
if let bar = self.navigationController?.navigationBar {
if #available(iOS 15.0, *) {
let navigationBarAppearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
navigationBarAppearance.configureWithTransparentBackground()
navigationBarAppearance.shadowImage = UIImage()
self.title = ""
navigationBarAppearance.backgroundImage = UIImage()
navigationBarAppearance.backgroundColor = .clear
UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = true
UINavigationBar.appearance().standardAppearance = navigationBarAppearance
UINavigationBar.appearance().scrollEdgeAppearance = navigationBarAppearance
} else {
bar.setBackgroundImage(FCUtil.getImageWithColor(color: UIColor.clear, size: bar.frame.size), for: UIBarMetrics.default)
bar.isTranslucent = true
bar.shadowImage = UIImage()
self.title = ""
}
}
Please suggest to me, If I had missed something.
The only problem with your code is the timing. You are running the code too late. Changing the navigation bar appearance() cannot change a navigation bar that already exists.
Instead, just change bar itself, directly:
bar.standardAppearance = navigationBarAppearance
bar.scrollEdgeAppearance = navigationBarAppearance
How can I do to have a title, followed by a few lines of text, followed by a title again and again few lines of text constrained in the middle of a view controller programmatically?
My goal is to have bolded for the titles, and it would be nice to have the textview lines incremented also.
My idea was to create 2 labels, and 2 textviews. And adding those to a textview in this order: label1, t1, label2, t2.
But it doesn't seem to work. I try to avoid defining the same textviews and labels many times. textviews add up if I copy its definition twice but not for labels (maybe it is view related?)
I tried with UIbuttons and it worked.
This is what I tried so far:
import UIKit
class HowToSetupProIGVC: UIViewController {
deinit {print("deinit")}
let textView: UITextView = {
let textView = UITextView()
textView.backgroundColor = .blue //bkgdColor
textView.textAlignment = .left
//textView.frame = CGRect(x: 5, y: 5, width: 5, height: 5)
textView.tintColor = .black
textView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false //enable autolayout
textView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100).isActive = true
textView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 300).isActive = true
return textView
}()
let label: UILabel = {
let l = UILabel(frame:CGRect.zero)
//l.frame = CGRect(x: 5, y: 5, width: 5, height: 5)
l.backgroundColor = .green //bkgdColor
l.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .headline)
l.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false //enable autolayout
l.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 22).isActive = true
l.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 300).isActive = true
return l
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.modalUI(arrowButton: false)
self.view.backgroundColor = bkgdColor
customStackHTSProIG ()
}
}
extension HowToSetupProIGVC {
func customStackHTSProIG () {
let label1 = label
let label2 = label
let t1 = textView
let t2 = textView
label1.text = "Title1:"
label2.text = "title2:"
t1.text = """
1. On your profile tap menu
2. Tap settings
3. Tap accounts
4. Tap set up professional account
"""
t2.text = """
1. On your profile tap "Edit profile"
2. Link your created page to your account
"""
//StackView
let stackHTS = UIStackView()
stackHTS.axis = NSLayoutConstraint.Axis.vertical
stackHTS.distribution = .fillEqually
stackHTS.alignment = .center
stackHTS.spacing = 5
stackHTS.backgroundColor = .red
//Add StackView + elements
stackHTS.addArrangedSubview(label1)
stackHTS.addArrangedSubview(t1)
stackHTS.addArrangedSubview(label2)
stackHTS.addArrangedSubview(t2)
self.view.addSubview(stackHTS)
//Constraints StackView
stackHTS.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
stackHTS.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
stackHTS.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
//stackHTS.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 88).isActive = true
}
}
UILabel & UITextView are both UIKit classes written in Objective-C. They are reference types, NOT value types.
When you write following -
let label1 = label
let label2 = label
let t1 = textView
let t2 = textView
Both label1 & label2 are pointing to the one & same instance of UILabel. So is the case for t1 & t2 as well.
When you add them like this -
//Add StackView + elements
stackHTS.addArrangedSubview(label1)
stackHTS.addArrangedSubview(t1)
stackHTS.addArrangedSubview(label2)
stackHTS.addArrangedSubview(t2)
You expect 2 labels and 2 textViews to be added to the StackView. You are adding only 1 label and 1 textView though.
You expect to see all of following -
label1.text = "Title1:"
label2.text = "title2:"
t1.text = """
1. On your profile tap menu
2. Tap settings
3. Tap accounts
4. Tap set up professional account
"""
t2.text = """
1. On your profile tap "Edit profile"
2. Link your created page to your account
"""
However you are only seeing following -
label2.text = "title2:"
t2.text = """
1. On your profile tap "Edit profile"
2. Link your created page to your account
"""
Solutions -
Create two separate instances of UITextView & UILabel like you have already done for the first two and Add these new instances to stack view as well.
Use one UILabel and remove everything else. Use NSAttributedString API to stylize your text as you want for different sections / paragraphs and assign it to UILabel.attributedText.
Essentially I would like to create a double line large title navigation bar for iOS 14 - I cannot seem to find a conclusive answer anywhere.
The following is what I currently have:
title = "Good Morning \nTim"
for navItem in(self.navigationController?.navigationBar.subviews)! {
for itemSubView in navItem.subviews {
if let largeLabel = itemSubView as? UILabel {
largeLabel.text = self.title
largeLabel.numberOfLines = 0
largeLabel.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
}
}
}
The issue with this is does display the second line, so the text is cutting off at Good Morning.
Any suggestions?
Your ViewController needs this modification in viewDidLoad for example:
let label = UILabel()
label.numberOfLines = 2
label.textAlignment = .center
label.text = "Good Morning \nTim"
navigationItem.titleView = label
I have found lots of similar questions about not receiving touch events and I understand that in some cases, writing a custom hitTest function may be required - but I also read that the responder chain will traverse views and viewControllers that are in the hierarchy - and I don't understand why a custom hitTest would be required for my implementation.
I'm looking for an explanation and/or a link to a document that explains how to test the responder chain. This problem is occurring in Xcode 10.2.1.
My scenario (I am not using Storyboard):
I have a mainViewController, that provides a full screen view with an ImageView and a few Labels. I have attached TapGestureRecognizers to the ImageView and one of the labels - and they both work properly.
When I tap the label, I add a child viewController and it's view as a subview to the mainViewController. The view is constrained to cover only the right-half of the screen.
The child viewController contains a vertical stack view that contains 3 arrangedSubviews.
Each arrangedSubview contains a Label and a horizontal StackView.
The horizontal stackView's each contain a View with a Label as a subview.
The Label in the subview sets it's isUserInteractionEnabled flag to True and adds a TapGestureRecognizer.
These are the only objects in the child ViewController that have 'isUserInteractionEnabled' set.
The Label's are nested fairly deep, but since this is otherwise a direct parent/child hierarchy (as opposed to the 2 views belonging to a NavigationController), I would expect the Label's to be in the normal responder chain and function properly. Do the Stack View's change that behavior? Do I need to explicitly set the 'isUserInteractionEnabled' value to False on some of the views? Is there way I can add logging to the ResponderChain so I can see which views it checked and find out where it is being blocked?
After reading this StackOverflow post I tried adding my gesture recognizers in viewDidLayoutSubviews() instead of what's shown below - but they still do not receive tap events.
Thank you in advance to any who can offer advice or help.
Here is the code for the label that is not responding to my tap events and the tap event it should call:
func makeColorItem(colorName:String, bgColor:UIColor, fgColor:UIColor) -> UIView {
let colorNumber:Int = colorLabelDict.count
let colorView:UIView = {
let v = UIView()
v.tag = 700 + colorNumber
v.backgroundColor = .clear
v.contentMode = .center
return v
}()
self.view.addSubview(colorView)
let tapColorGR:UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tapColor))
let colorChoice: UILabel = {
let l = UILabel()
l.tag = 700 + colorNumber
l.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
l.addGestureRecognizer(tapColorGR)
l.text = colorName
l.textAlignment = .center
l.textColor = fgColor
l.backgroundColor = bgColor
l.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 24, weight: .bold)
l.layer.borderColor = fgColor.cgColor
l.layer.borderWidth = 1
l.layer.cornerRadius = 20
l.layer.masksToBounds = true
l.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
l.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
l.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100)
return l
}()
colorView.addSubview(colorChoice)
colorChoice.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: colorView.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
colorChoice.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: colorView.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
colorChoice.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 50).isActive = true
colorChoice.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100).isActive = true
colorLabelDict[colorNumber] = colorChoice
return colorView
}
#objc func tapColor(sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
print("A Color was tapped...with tag:\(sender.view?.tag ?? -1)")
if let cn = sender.view?.tag {
colorNumber = cn
let v = colorLabelDict[cn]
if let l = (v?.subviews.first as? UILabel) {
print("The \(l.text) label was tapped.")
}
}
}
It looks like the main reason you're not getting a tap recognized is because you are adding a UILabel as a subview of a UIView, but you're not giving that UIView any constraints. So the view ends up with a width and height of Zero, and the label exists outside the bounds of the view.
Without seeing all of your code, it doesn't look like you need the extra view holding the label.
Take a look at this... it will add a vertical stack view to the main view - centered X and Y - and add "colorChoice" labels to the stack view:
class TestViewController: UIViewController {
let stack: UIStackView = {
let v = UIStackView()
v.axis = .vertical
v.spacing = 4
return v
}()
var colorLabelDict: [Int: UIView] = [:]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let v1 = makeColorLabel(colorName: "red", bgColor: .red, fgColor: .white)
let v2 = makeColorLabel(colorName: "green", bgColor: .green, fgColor: .black)
let v3 = makeColorLabel(colorName: "blue", bgColor: .blue, fgColor: .white)
[v1, v2, v3].forEach {
stack.addArrangedSubview($0)
}
stack.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
view.addSubview(stack)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
stack.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor),
stack.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor),
])
}
func makeColorLabel(colorName:String, bgColor:UIColor, fgColor:UIColor) -> UILabel {
let colorNumber:Int = colorLabelDict.count
// create tap gesture recognizer
let tapColorGR:UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tapColor))
let colorChoice: UILabel = {
let l = UILabel()
l.tag = 700 + colorNumber
l.addGestureRecognizer(tapColorGR)
l.text = colorName
l.textAlignment = .center
l.textColor = fgColor
l.backgroundColor = bgColor
l.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 24, weight: .bold)
l.layer.borderColor = fgColor.cgColor
l.layer.borderWidth = 1
l.layer.cornerRadius = 20
l.layer.masksToBounds = true
l.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
l.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
// default .isUserInteractionEnabled for UILabel is false, so enable it
l.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
return l
}()
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
// label height: 50, width: 100
colorChoice.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 50),
colorChoice.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100),
])
// assign reference to this label in colorLabelDict dictionary
colorLabelDict[colorNumber] = colorChoice
// return newly created label
return colorChoice
}
#objc func tapColor(sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
print("A Color was tapped...with tag:\(sender.view?.tag ?? -1)")
// unwrap the view that was tapped, make sure it's a UILabel
guard let tappedView = sender.view as? UILabel else {
return
}
let cn = tappedView.tag
let colorNumber = cn
print("The \(tappedView.text ?? "No text") label was tapped.")
}
}
Result of running that:
Those are 3 UILabels, and tapping each will trigger the tapColor() func, printing this to the debug console:
A Color was tapped...with tag:700
The red label was tapped.
A Color was tapped...with tag:701
The green label was tapped.
A Color was tapped...with tag:702
The blue label was tapped.
I'm using MFMailComposeViewController and I'd like to change background color so it matches the one I have across the app. I've tried several things, but nothing worked(at least not on iOS 9).
let mailVC = MFMailComposeViewController()
mailVC.mailComposeDelegate = self
...
mailVC.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes =
[NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.whiteColor()] // this works
mailVC.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor() // this works
mailVC.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.blueColor() // this doesn't work
mailVC.navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor() // this doesn't work
Background color stays default gray.
I solved it by setting color of navigationbar before initializing MFMailComposeViewController like this:
UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor.blueColor()
let mailVC = MFMailComposeViewController()
