I am a new to iOS development. I am trying to create a word suggestion list to UISearch Bar in IOS SDK 4.3 for iPhone.
Initially if the user taps on a UISearch field it will move to up on the screen and pop up the blank list while user starts to type a search key word it will list down the suggestions under UISearch bar according to search key word. [An example is Google search.]. The suggestion of the list, which comes from the return of web services.
It is a bit difficult to understand how should I create and appear a table view with the suggestions on top of existing screen while moving upto top of the UISearch bar and how should I move the search bar into top of the screen and set into previous place according to user interaction while I hide the suggestion table view.
Thanks..

Does anyone have any idea for the following scenario?
I do have a tab sample and some tab views will integrate with the search bar view/function at the navigation bar.
Views from search results are actually live in some tabs.
How can I share the view of the search results on a certain tab where I have searched for items.
(note that view of a search result is actually live in one of the available tabs)
Here is an example:
I do have three tabs on my platform as follows:
each of the tabs will have the search bar.
Home | Map | More
I do have a profile view at the "More" tab.
If the user searches for a profile at the "Home" tab, how can I show the existing profile view at the home tab instead?
Besides that, I would like to make sure the navigation stack for any search results are always staying at the place where the user trigger search function. In this case, any search result navigation stack will
be tracked and displayed at the "Home" tab instead.
You help will be much more appreciated.
I am trying to model the UX for search as follows:
How can I shift the search bar to the top of the screen and darken the screen as shown in the screenshots above?
You probably want to look into using a UISearchDisplayController. Doing so will automatically give you this functionality.
Ok I'm making an iPhone app that (only on the first time the user opens the app) loads a tableview with a list of, for example, sports teams. The user checks the sports teams he wants and taps the done button. Then the tab bar loads with the teams the user selected in the tab bar. Any way how to do this as far as a tutorial/ code? Thanks!
I think this link may help you: How to set iPhone tab bar icon in code?. For more help on how to use TabBarControllers, there are tons of sample code AND sample projects found here: UITabBarController Class Reference. Hope that helps!
I've been browsing stack overflow and can't find a simple newbie-level explanation for this. I have the following behaviour. When the user clicks the search the index is removed and a cancel button appears next to the search bar. When cancel is pressed, the cancel button is removed and the index reappears.
Does anyone know a simple way to reduce the width of the search bar (text field) by 20-30 pixels on the right. This is the way the contacts app deals with this overlay.
Any help gratefully appreciated. I've built the view in a xib file.
How would one implement a search field like the one used on the iPhone Mail application. When you attempt to search it shows up 4 buttons under the search bar with the fields you can search. The search bar actually moves up to cover the navigation bar and exposes those buttons.
I'd like to do something similar in my application where you can specify what exactly you are searching for. I think the mail search is a little difference since it also has a cancel button?
How would you accomplish this and what components would you use?
Do you mean the so called ScopeBar? Use a SearchDisplayController and there you could set the scopes of the ScopeBar.
Or drag a normal UISearchBar on your view, and the with the inspector you are able to set the scope items.
