Increase the distance between the icon and the cursor in the Objective-C search bar.

Question

Increase the distance between the icon and the cursor in the search bar

So, I want to add a space between the searchIcon and the text that the user enters as too close together.

Answer 1

Take a look at the link to Apple's UISearchBar class and find searchTextPositionAdjustment.

To create a gap of 10 pixels between the icon and the text, you can do the following in your code: searchBar.searchTextPositionAdjustment = UIOffsetMake(10.0f, 0.0f);
