*Update: This actually works, the style for my custom cell hasn't come across and so the cell looks blank. How then do I get the searchResultsTableView
to use my custom cell?
I have implemented a search bar in my table view. Searching, filtering all work when I debug, but when I enter characters into the search bar, the results do not load or show. This is everything I'm doing:
@interface InviteTableViewController ()<UIAlertViewDelegate, UISearchBarDelegate, UISearchDisplayDelegate>
@property(nonatomic, strong) NSNumber *contactsCount;
@property(nonatomic, strong) InviteTableViewCell *selectedCell;
@property(strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray *filteredContactArray;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UISearchBar *contactsSearchBar;
@end
@implementation InviteTableViewController
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void) extractAllContacts: (ABAddressBookRef) addressBookRef{
NSMutableArray *contactsArray = [NSMutableArray array];
CFArrayRef allPeople = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBookRef);
CFIndex numberOfPeople = ABAddressBookGetPersonCount(addressBookRef);
for(int i = 0; i < numberOfPeople; i++){
ABRecordRef person = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex( allPeople, i );
NSString *firstName = (__bridge NSString *)(ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty));
if(firstName){
ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty);
for (CFIndex i = 0; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(emails); i++) {
NSString *email = (__bridge_transfer NSString *) ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, i);
MyUser *amUser = [[MyUser alloc] init];
amUser.email =email;
NSString *fullName =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",firstName, (__bridge NSString *)(ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonLastNameProperty))];
amUser.fullName = fullName;
[contactsArray addObject:amUser];
}
}
}
NSLog(@"================================count ============= %d", [contactsArray count]);
contactsArray = [contactsArray sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id a, id b) {
NSDate *first = [(MyUser*) a fullName];
NSDate *second = [(MyUser*)b fullName];
return [first compare:second];
}];
self.inviteContactsArray = contactsArray;
self.filteredContactArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[contactsArray count]];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
_contactsCount = [NSNumber numberWithInt:0];
ABAddressBookRef addressBookRef = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL);
if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) {
ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBookRef, ^(bool granted, CFErrorRef error) {
if (granted) {
[self extractAllContacts: addressBookRef];
[self.tableView reloadData];
} else {
NSString *message = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"You have not given permission to use your address book. Please allow in settings "];

[alert show];
}
});
}
else if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusAuthorized) {
// The user has previously given access, add the contact
[self extractAllContacts:addressBookRef];
}
else {
// The user has previously denied access
// Send an alert telling user to change privacy setting in settings app
}
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
