Show UISearchDisplayController's searchResultsTableView when empty text on ios7

Question

I have a non-UITableViewController with searchBar and UISearchDisplayController, ios 7 targeted. When the searchBar is selected it animates to the top of screen and everything else is dimmed.

I used the next code to show the searchResultsTableView when the searchBar is still empty:

    - (void)searchDisplayControllerDidBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller
    {
         [self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView setHidden:FALSE];
    }

Now the ResultsTableView is displayed, with the right data ,but it is dimmed like everything else and the cells cant be selected. When trying to select a cell, the searchDisplayController dismisses.

How can i make it un-dimmed and selectable?

Answer 1

I am not getting your problem but as i think you need to remove dimmed view and if i understand correct then below code will help you

-(void) searchDisplayControllerDidBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller
{
    for(UIView * v in myDocSearchDisplayController.searchContentsController.view.subviews)
    {
        if([v isMemberOfClass:[UIControl class]] || ([[[v class] description] isEqualToString:@"UISearchDisplayControllerContainerView"]))
        {
            [v removeFromSuperview];
        }
    }
}
