How do I close a UISearchDisplayController programmatically?

Question

I want to close my UISearchDisplayController when the user clicks the "Search" button since I'm loading new data from the web. How do I close the controller programatically? I already have the proper method called, but don't know how to do it.

I thought that the below would work, but I'm wrong.

- (void)searchBarSearchButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {     [self.searchDisplayController finalize]; } 

Answer 1

[self.searchDisplayController setActive:NO animated:YES]; 

Enjoy.

Answer 2

You need to make sure you set active to false on main thread:

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{     [self.searchDisplayController setActive:NO animated:YES]; });
