将 UISearchBar 添加到 tableView header 作为子视图

Question

I'm trying to add a custom header to UITableView , that has some buttons and an UISearchBar . The problem is, that when I try to use searchBar I get a message:

setting the first responder view of the table but we don't know its type (cell/header/footer)

Has anyone encounter such problem?

Answer 1

Are you adding to the table via:

[self.tableView addSubview:customView]

If so, that could be your error. Adding subviews to UITableView requires that you add them either as header, footer, or cell explicitly. Try:

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = customView

Answer 2

Just follow the simple steps here..

1. create a property for mySearchBar in your '.h' file and synthesize.
2. set its attributes in viewDidLoad/viewDidAppear method (or u can simply do it in the Interface Builder)

3. Use the following delegate method to set it as the header of your table view...

    – (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { return self.mySearchBar; }
