I'm trying to keep the search bar in view as the table scrolls. At the moment I'm placing it as the header in a tableview, and it works as it should, but of course the search bar scrolls off screen as you go down the table. I thought I could do this simply modifying this code sample:
How do I use UISearchController in iOS 8 where the UISearchBar is in my navigation bar and has scope buttons?
searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
searchController.delegate = self
searchController.searchBar.delegate = self
searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
tableview.tableHeaderView = searchContoller.searchBar // How to put it elsewhere?
//Alternative that also works
navigationItem.titleView = searchController.searchBar
The idea was to take some other view and do
otherview = searchController.searchBar
For instance an outlet to a UISearchBar, or a blank UIView, or something like that.
But it doesn't show the searchBar if I do that. It seems to only work as the header view of a table or as a navigationItem.titleView.
Am I missing something?
