SearchDisplayController SearchBar overlapping navigation bar and resizing itself IOS7

Question

My app has a tableview controller that is presented as a form sheet.

On top portion of tableviewcontoller there is a UView and inside of that UIView there is a navigation bar and a searchbar.

Everything works fine older version of IOS but in IOS7 when user taps searchbar everything is messes up.

Normal:

When User starts to type:

After seach ends:

in.h

UITableViewController<UITextFieldDelegate,UISearchDisplayDelegate,UISearchBarDelegate>
@property (nonatomic,weak) IBOutlet UINavigationBar *topBar;

Tried few things but code doesnt seem to be changing anything, when put a breakpoint it enters to delegate methods though

in.m

//-(void)searchDisplayControllerWillBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller {
//    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0) {
//        CGRect statusBarFrame =  self.topBar.frame;
//        [UIView animateWithDuration:0.25 animations:^{
//            for (UIView *subview in self.tableView.subviews)
//                subview.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0, statusBarFrame.size.height+50);
//        }];
//    }
//}
//
//-(void)searchDisplayControllerWillEndSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller {
//    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0) {
//        [UIView animateWithDuration:0.25 animations:^{
//            for (UIView *subview in self.tableView.subviews)
//                subview.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
//        }];
//    }
//}

- (void)searchDisplayControllerWillBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller {
    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0) {
        CGRect frame = self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame;
        frame.origin.y += self.topBar.frame.size.height;
         self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame = frame;
    }
}

- (void)searchDisplayControllerWillEndSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller {
    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0) {
        CGRect statusBarFrame = self.topBar.frame;
        CGRect frame =  self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame;
        frame.origin.y -= statusBarFrame.size.height;
         self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame= frame;
    }
}


#Additional Info
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
      if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7)
    {
        //self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.searchBarStyle= UISearchBarStyleProminent;
        self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
        //self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeLeft | UIRectEdgeBottom | UIRectEdgeRight;
    }
}

According to break points frame position and sizes are correct but they dont change self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame at all

I have also tried

-(void)searchDisplayControllerWillBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller {
    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0) {
        [self.topBar setHidden:YES];

    }
}

-(void)searchDisplayControllerWillEndSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller {
    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0) {
        [self.searchDisplayController.searchBar removeFromSuperview];
        CGRect frame = self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame;
        frame.origin.y += self.topBar.frame.size.height;
        self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame = frame;
        [self.topView addSubview:self.searchDisplayController.searchBar];
        [self.topView bringSubviewToFront:self.topBar];

        [self.topBar setHidden:NO];
    }
}

How can I solve this issue ?

Answer 1

try setting this value in your table view controller:

if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(edgesForExtendedLayout)]){
    self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
}

And change you view hierarchy to have a view, and tableView, search bar and nag bar as it's subviews. Make your table view controller a view controller and make it as the data source and delegate.

Or don't use a searchBarDisplayController and just use a search bar with it's delegate methods:

- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText
