UISearchBar

[sunny]

change textDidChange: method to this:

Code: Select all

- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBarControl textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText
{
   NSString *query = [_searchBar.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\'" withString:@"\\\'"];
   [_webView performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:) withObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"searchUpdated('%@');", query] waitUntilDone:NO];
}


everything will work

Thanks Sunny, that worked a treat. The UISearchbar now returns the correct text from the control and after I handle apostrophes in the html, the search results are perfect.

Thanks for your response.

Hi everybody,

I use this sample project and it works great ! (thx Sunny) But... I've got a question... How do you manage the landscape view ? Indeed, when I rotate the device, the UISearch control doesn't fit with the WebView The search bar width is not auto resized.

I'm a noob in obj-c code so how can I fix this display bug ?

Thanks !

I guess you need to set 'autoresizingmask' property

Just wanted to say i got this into my project on 1.9.2 and working in about 5 minutes, Thanks Sunny and everyone who has posted extra stuff on here, getting the keyboard to open up immediately is just what i needed.

I changed (void)searchBarSearchButtonClicked function to get the field value to JS when you click search

Code: Select all

   [_webView performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:) withObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"searchButtonClicked('%@');", _searchBar.text] waitUntilDone:NO];
