iOS 7 - Show Count of Searchresult in SearchBar

Question

I'm searching for a way to add a UILabel to an UISearchBar in Front of the Searchfield.

I tried to add a UILabel like that:

- (void)searchDisplayControllerWillBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller
{
  self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.showsCancelButton = YES;

  UILabel *searchResultCount = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(8, 8, 50, 28)];
  searchResultCount.text = @"357"; //Itemscount of Searchresult

  [self.searchDisplayController.searchBar addSubview:searchResultCount];
}

The Result looks like that ==> https://i.sstatic.net/x3sel.png

How can i get this work ? It should be

[356] [Searchfield] [Cancel]

Thanks for any advise

I did solved it. Subclass UISearchBar and make changes in layoutSubviews.

Here is my Code.

#import "CustomSearchBar.h"

@implementation CustomSearchBar

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code
    }
    return self;
}

-(void)layoutSubviews
{
  [super layoutSubviews];

  float cancelButtonWidth = 84.0;
  UITextField *searchField;
  UILabel *resultLabel;

  UIView *topView = [self.subviews lastObject];
  for (UIView *subView in topView.subviews)
  {
    if ([subView isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"UITextField")])
    {
      searchField = (UITextField *)subView;
    }
    else if ([subView isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"UILabel")])
    {
      resultLabel = (UILabel*)subView;
    }
  }

  if(!searchField) {return; }

  if (self.showsCancelButton)
  {
    if(!resultLabel)
    {
      resultLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(8, 8, 40, 28)];
      resultLabel.text = @"356";
      [topView addSubview:resultLabel];
    }
    [searchField setFrame:CGRectMake(60, 8, self.frame.size.width - 100 - cancelButtonWidth, 28)];

  }
  else
  {
    [searchField setFrame:CGRectMake(8, 8, 484, 28)];
    if(resultLabel)
    {
      [resultLabel removeFromSuperview];
    }
  }
}
@end

Cheers
