Search bar is working AFTER “Cancel Button”

Question

I've made a view for editing friend, with a searchbar. My adding/deleting friends is working fine, but I've a problem with my adding/deleting friends WITH SEARCHBAR... My searchbar finds well the email I'm tapping, but the order change : if I find 2 email with my searchbar, the 2 email will are the 2 first email in my property "Allfriend", and not the email I found with searchbar... Is there any code to complete in didSelectRowAtIndexPath after NSLog ?

I let you see my code, tell me if you see a problem :

editfriend.h :

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Parse/Parse.h>

@interface EditFriendsViewController : UITableViewController <UISearchBarDelegate, UISearchDisplayDelegate>


@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *allUsers;
@property (nonatomic, strong) PFUser *currentUser;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *friends;
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *searchResults;
@property (nonatomic, strong) PFUser *user;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *filteredArray;


@property (nonatomic, strong) UIImage *MindleNav;



-(BOOL)isFriend:(PFUser*)user;

@end

editfriend.m :

#import "EditFriendsViewController.h"

@interface EditFriendsViewController ()

@end

@implementation EditFriendsViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.navigationItem.titleView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:self.MindleNav];

    self.searchResults = [[NSArray alloc] init];


    PFQuery *query = [PFUser query];
    [query orderByAscending:@"email"];
    [query findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *objects, NSError *error) {
        if (error) {
            NSLog(@"Error: %@ %@", error, [error userInfo]);
        }
        else {
            self.allUsers = objects;
            //            self.user = [objects objectAtIndex:0];
            [self.tableView performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(reloadData) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO];
        }
    }];

    self.currentUser = [PFUser currentUser];
}

You're calling [self.tableView reloadData] on a background thread (due to findObjectsInBackground ), so your UI won't update right away.

If you want the changes to take place instantly, you need to rewrite that line to:

[self.tableView performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(reloadData) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO];

---

Also, since you already do a query for all objects in viewDidLoad , when the user would like to search, you shouldn't query again, but instead have a property called filteredUsers , which holds the user you'd like to display.

You can filter an array with:

self.filteredArray = [self.allUsers filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];

You can take a look here on how to create an NSPredicate .
