We have developed an application for iOS 5 long back where we used 'Search Bar and Search Display Controller' object on storyboard. Since iOS8 UISearchDisplayController is deprecated, I am trying to remove existing 'Search Bar and Search Display Controller' with UISearchController.
As UISearchController is not available from 'Object Library' on interface, I have added it programatically to an UIView on interface using following code:
//Set up Search Controller
self.searchController = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController:nil];
self.searchController.searchResultsUpdater = (id)self;
self.searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = YES;
self.searchController.searchBar.delegate = self;
//Adding as subview to UIView 'searchBarContainer'
[self.searchBarContainer addSubview:self.searchController.searchBar];
[self.searchBarContainer bringSubviewToFront:self.searchController.searchBar];
self.definesPresentationContext = YES;
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = YES;
And set the frame of 'searchController' equal to the UIView as follows:
UISearchBar *ctrlSearchBar = self.searchController.searchBar;
ctrlSearchBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.searchBarContainer.frame.size.width, self.searchBarContainer.frame.size.height);
The size of searchBar is fine but when it is focused on clicking on it, the width of 'searchBar' increased automatically.
I even tried using NSLayoutConstraints but didn't fix the issue. Can anyone please help how to fix the size of 'UISearchController.searchBar' even when it is focused?
As surToTheW suggested in his comment, I have created a custom UIViewController with UISearchController in it. I added it as child view controller in to my main UIViewController and the search bar didn't exceed the custom UIViewController's view width.
