Resetting UISearchbar programmatically

Image
By User



Is there a possibility to reset a UISearchbar with searchDisplayController programmatically which is active and already contains text?







- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {



    if (tableView == self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView) {

       searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView.hidden = YES;

       searchBar.showsCancelButton = NO;

       [searchBar resignFirstResponder];

    }

}







This solution is working, but there is still text in the searchBar. If i add those lines of code:







searchBar.text = @"";







There is always a black transparent view left.





Any solutions?

    Here ya go. This is a delegate method called when the user hits cancel. If you want to wire it up differently just declare your search bar as an outlet and reference it. Anyway:

    -(void)searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
    {
    searchBar.text = @"";
    [searchBar resignFirstResponder];
    }

    You can also explicitly hide the resultsTableView, if that's what you want:

    searchDC.searchResultsTableView.hidden=YES;


    (searchDC is an instance of UISearchDisplayController)

    This will help you with hiding the Cancel button and stuff: http://www.alexandre-gomes.com/?p=418
