UISearchBar Not appearing

Question

I have view controller, into the view i have put a table view, and a search bar into the table's header... the search bar is not showing up, just the empty table view.

Do i need to do something additional? I'm pretty sure its to do with the view outlet of the UIViewController, set to View...

Thanks

Answer 1

For anyone else who may be landing on this question, I had a very similar situation where a UITableViewController with a UISearchBar added to it wasn't displaying. If you find yourself in this situation, double check that you are actually calling:

initWithNibName:@"MyNibName" bundle:nil

to init your view controller instead of the common Table View init of:

initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain

I was foolishly adding the search bar to the Nib, and then loading it with the style init (which skips the Nib entirely and loads the table view from scratch)
