How can I make the search bar to scroll together with the table view? When I scroll my table view I want my search bar to go with it and disappear. I want to have done something similar to contacts app on the iPhone.
You can place your searchbar in the tableView's header row. This will make it part of the tableView.
Set up an empty table section, above or ahead of all other sections in your table view. Set this section's header to be your search bar view.

I have a UITableview where I use view for header for section method to customize the view like a drop down so that,when I select the particular button on the section header view the cell for row appears,like a drop down.I need in a way such that when I select the particular section this section should go to the top of the tableview. Is there a solution to implement this.

Also the last section is appearing twice! like this.

please help
Thanks in advance
First don't use Navigation bar as the header of TableView. You should use a navigation controller and push this viewcontroller which contains tableview. This will allow you to get rid of first problem i.e. to keep the bar steady and not scroll with the tableview.
Second problem looks really weird, it seems to be that you have laid out two UITableView in your nib. Check again and remove one.
You have two options:
1) add a base UIView on which your header view and your table view are siblings.
2) set the header view as the table view's viewForHeader of the first section
You have only one option:
1)create a UIView lets say headerView and add control or whatever you
want to have and put that custom UIView on top of your UITableView
2)Do not implement viewForHeaderInsection
3)Change the y position of your UITableView to place your tableView
below your headerView
I have a search bar and a segmented control that will filter out the different types of results in a table view.
But what im facing is that the segment control bar, goes down whenever i search a result. (Which means i have to scroll down in order to access the segmented bar) I want it to remain right below the search bar. Is that possible?
Any ideas?
Yes it is possible, add the searchBar as subview on top of view then add the segmented as subview of view and finally to show results in a table add the table in subview of main view, thats so simple.
I am starting out with the tab bar application in XCode and I want to put a table view in one of the tabs. I know how to physically put the table view into a tab with interface builder, but I need to be able to edit the data in the table, so I'm not just left with blank cells.
So, how can I edit the data in the table?
Essentially, I want to put a navigation-based application inside the tab of a tab bar application.
Thanks for the help!
UITableViewCells don't, by themselves, support the ability for the user to edit their content. You can set up your UI to allow users to do so, but it'll take a little extra effort.
If what you're really looking for is for the user to be able to enter text into a table cell, I would add an Edit button to your text cells, so that the user can tap it to go into edit mode for a cell.
When a cell goes into edit mode, add a UITextField to the cell view and call its -makeFirstResponder method to bring up the keyboard.
When the user taps the Done button on the keyboard, call -resignFirstResponder on the text field to dismiss the keyboard, then update your table view's data source object (this is the object you've assigned to the UITableView's dataSource property) with the string from the text field's text property and remove the UITextField from your table cell and reload the table's data by calling its reloadData method. Or if you are keeping a reference to the edited table cell somewhere, you could just update the cell object directly instead of calling reloadData on the table.
You can't just add text to table cells in InterfaceBuilder. You'll need to hook your UITableView to a UITableViewDataSource, and have that data source provide the cells you want your table to display.

In OS3.0 a lot of plain table views have an initially hidden search bar that can be accessed by scrolling down to reveal it (e.g. mail, ipod).
Is it possible to do the same thing for a grouped table view?
Background:
I'm using a grouped table view as a static navigation menu (similar to the Things app). The content never changes, it's just a way to choose which view to push next. Above the table view, I have a search bar. I'd like that search bar to be hidden initially, as it doesn't look good and may also be confusing for new users - also because that seems to be the standard now.
Note, the search bar has nothing to do with the datasource of the table view it's in - it's not searching the contents of that table view. It's a search on a remote server. The results are displayed in a new view which is pushed on the stack. The search bar is intended to be just a quick way to get at that functionality.
UITableView inherits from UIScrollView, so set the bounds of the UITableView to move the search bar out of view when the UITableView is about to start displaying.
