Search bar set as title view in iOS 11 about shsearchbar

[Blackjacx]

OK, I'll try this out this evening :)

What exactly are your problems? Can you make a list? Then I can try to reproduce and fix them. Initially it looks pretty good right?

Hey Stefan, thanks for your comment. Basically the problem is that when the user starts typing text the width of the text field changes (becomes a lot thinner).

You can try to add the search bar as the title view of a navigation bar to reproduce this issue.

Did you ever manage to get around this issue?

[csr]

in your examples, you use the search bar in the view controller content view. how do you use it as a navigation item title view?

Hey, sorry for the delay. At the moment I don't have much tie to work on my projects. Work consumes a lot and I was ill so I spent a lot time on my couch 🙃

Actually I didn't plan to use it there yet but now I thought it would be another very good example 😉

I think I'll find time in December to have a look on this topic.

Thanks so much for the response. It's fine please take your time. Know any good other framework by any chance?

[Blackjacx]

Why you don't use the standard UISearchBar (maybe in combination with UISearchController) which is made exactly for your purpose?

[csr]

Fine, thanks so much for your help. I'll be using the default search bar.

Hey @cecexx , finally I found some time to check how you could use my search bar in the UINavigationBar. I extended the example app with your use-case. See 7a49309 for details. All you need to do is implement your titleView class and add SHSearchBar maximized to it. Then implement intrinsicContentSize in that class as I did in https://github.com/Blackjacx/SHSearchBar/blob/develop/Example/iOS%20Example/SearchBarTitleView.swift.

Then all should work. If you like to implement the standard UISearchBar then you could have a look on my answer on StackOverflow on how to do it right: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47908688/971329.

The only thing I could not figure out is how I can set a custom height on my search bar in the navigation bar. The navigation bar will not adapt its height to the height I set for the search bar.

Cheers, I appreciate it! Although I've switched to the standard UISearchBar, thank you so much for keeping me updated on this.
