UISearchBar with hidden UINavigationBar - iphone

I have the search bar in the top of the table and the hidden navigation bar. Along with UISearchBar I use UISearchDisplayController. UISearchDisplayController has the possibility to bring forward the navigation bar. So, when I tap the cancel button in the search bar, the navigation bar fly's down. How can I dismiss this possibility, so the navigation bar will always be hidden?
Thanks

One solution is to make the search bar the table header view in which case it will scroll with the table, and if you don't want it to appear by default then you can programmatically scroll the table down, non-animated, in viewWillAppear it is first displayed. This may or may not make sense for your UI design, but it is, for example, how Safari basically works.

Customizing iOS Navigation Bar

I'm wondering how to accomplish something like this on a UINavigationBar. It is the detail view of a card in the Wallet app.
Based on the documentation, I can't see how to add extra views to the navigation bar to accomplish this sort of design.

You can’t.
In that screen shot, the navigation bar is empty except for the back button chevron. The card image is in the view controller’s view. That is why it moves up when you scroll up. If you look carefully as you scroll up, you can even see the card image passing behind the navigation bar.

Unhide UINavigationBar LIKE in the Email App

I have a View Controller where I perform a "search as you type". When I press on the SearchBar, hide the Navigation Bar, animated and I also show the scope buttons for my SearchBar. The problem is that when I press on a cell to push a new View Controller the Navigation Bar stays hidden. I KNOW I can set it unhidden, but it will animate from the top. I want to do something similar like in the Email app, when I press on a new cell, a new View Controller is pushed, and the Navigation Bar is animated from the right, like it belongs with the pushed View Controller. How can I make this happen?
Thank you.

Use the UISearchDisplayController to handle the search bar. The behavior you describe is the default behavior.

Enable user interaction with UINavigationBar subviews that extend past the bounds of the bar

I have custom views and buttons that I have added as subviews of my UINavigationBar. Their frames are set such that they begin halfway down the nav bar and extend past the normal bounds of the nav bar. I also have another subview that from time to time must be displayed as a modal looking view, but on the iPhone. To achieve this I have set his frame to 0,0,320,480 and added him as a subview of the nav bar. Everything LOOKS ok, but user interaction is disabled on the section of the view that is displayed below the nav bar, (i.e. 0,44,320,456).
Similar situations arise with my other objects. How can I enable user interaction with these views? Is there a way to do this in the opposite manner such as having a view begin in the nav controller's view and extend upward to cover the nav bar? (i.e. 0,-44,320,480) ?
Seems like a simple task but I have tried everything I can think of, including toggling showing / hiding the nav bar with / without animation to make it get out of the way, but there is a button that I need to show only as part of the navigation bar and it needs to sit on top of an actual uinavigationbar.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

UISearchBar displays in the root view but not in any other view on the tab bar

I have implemented the search bar for the table in the first tab and this works fine and filters fine, however, with the same code and the xib linked up all the same etc on the second tab it no longer displays the search bar. Is there a simple reason to this?
Separate out the UISearchBar into its own class and then call it from the multiple views. It is not meant to be reinstantiated for each view controller.
Yes, there is a simple reason—the search bar is a subview of your main view, so when that view gets swiped off screen, it disappears with that view. To fix this, you'll have to add the search bar to the view that holds your tab bar controller—you'll probably have to put it in MainWindow.xib. You can still connect it to your tab bar controller if you need to—just add a reference to in the XIB.

How do I support the touch of the navigation bar label?

I have an editor that I am making, and I need a way of editing the document's title. I was considering touching the title of the navigation item and have a custom view appear.
I did this in an initial version of the application with a button bar item (and target/action), but I cannot seem to find a way to do it with the managed navigation bar.
The alternative I was considering was putting another bar at the bottom with an item to do just that, but it doesn't seem like the best design if I don't need to do it, as it takes away from viewing space.
You can set the titleView property of the view controller's navigationItem to a UIButton of type Custom. Then wire the button up to a method on the view controller. Now when the user taps the title, it'll fire the method on your controller.
