Resize UISearchDisplayController Dimming Black Overlay

Question

Does anyone know how to resize a darkened black as soon as you click on the search bar?

I have a problem when I clicked, canceled the tableview, and then it will animate to disappear.

i using this to resize the result table.

-(void)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller didShowSearchResultsTableView:(UITableView *)tableView { tableView.frame =fTableView.frame;//CGRectMake(26, 100, 280, 310); //fTableView.frame; tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:243.0/255.0 green:236.0/255.0 blue:212.0/255.0 alpha:1]; } 

when I click on the search bar, the gray overlay is filled in place of my specific size.

when you click cancel, the view will return.

Answer 1

I combined several answers to move the darkened overlay frame.

1: override the UISearchDisplayController class

 @interface MySearchController : UISearchDisplayController 

2: override setActive function

 - (void)setActive:(BOOL)visible animated:(BOOL)animated { [super setActive: visible animated: animated]; //move the dimming part down for (UIView *subview in self.searchContentsController.view.subviews) { //NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromClass([subview class])); if ([subview isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"UISearchDisplayControllerContainerView")]) { CGRect frame = subview.frame; frame.origin.y += 10; subview.frame = frame; } } } 

3: change the xib display / storyboard display controller from UISearchDisplayController to MySearchController

Answer 2

I thought searchDisplayController has a separate table, so I assume that you will need to resize it.

Something along the lines: <yourSearchViewController>.view.frame =self.tableView.frame;

or if you do not have it as a class variable, in a method that receives it as an argument, for example:

 -(void)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller didShowSearchResultsTableView:(UITableView *)tableView { controller.view.frame = self.tableView.frame; tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:243.0/255.0 green:236.0/255.0 blue:212.0/255.0 alpha:1]; } 

Alternatively, you may want to subclass it and change its view properties locally.

Hope this helps!

UISearchDisplayController has its own tabular view, which is not so easy to tame. I came across something similar, and I'm still looking for the best solution.

 -(void)searchDisplayControllerWillBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller { [controller.searchResultsTableView setDelegate:self]; CGFloat gr = 12.0; controller.searchResultsTableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:gr green:gr blue:gr alpha:0.0]; [controller.searchResultsTableView setSeparatorStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone]; CGRect searchTableFrame = CGRectMake(7, 105, 305, 292); [controller.searchResultsTableView setFrame:searchTableFrame]; } 

The above code makes the background transparent, but seems to silently ignore the frame size.

EDIT: solvable I found a reliable solution for this here . It saved my life.
