To start off I already looked at this question and tried to implement it but it didn't change anything so I'll just show my own attempt in this code.
Like the question says I'm trying to change the height of the UITextField inside the searchbar. I've made a custom searchbar as well as a custom searchcontroller.
The searchbar class looks like this
class CustomSearchBar: UISearchBar {
var preferredFont: UIFont!
var preferredTextColor: UIColor!
override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) {
// Drawing code
// Find the index of the search field in the search bar subviews.
if let index = indexOfSearchFieldInSubviews() {
// Access the search field
let searchField: UITextField = (subviews[0]).subviews[index] as! UITextField
// Set its frame.
//searchField.frame = CGRectMake(5.0, 5.0, frame.size.width - 10.0, frame.size.height - 10.0)
searchField.frame = CGRectMake(5.0, 5.0, frame.size.width, 100)
// Set the font and text color of the search field.
searchField.font = preferredFont
searchField.textColor = preferredTextColor
// Set the background color of the search field.
searchField.backgroundColor = barTintColor
}
let startPoint = CGPointMake(0.0, frame.size.height)
let endPoint = CGPointMake(frame.size.width, frame.size.height)
let path = UIBezierPath()
path.moveToPoint(startPoint)
path.addLineToPoint(endPoint)
let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shapeLayer.path = path.CGPath
shapeLayer.strokeColor = preferredTextColor.CGColor
shapeLayer.lineWidth = 2.5
layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
super.drawRect(rect)
}
init(frame: CGRect, font: UIFont, textColor: UIColor){
super.init(frame: frame)
self.frame = frame
preferredFont = font
preferredTextColor = textColor
searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyle.Prominent
translucent = false
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
func indexOfSearchFieldInSubviews() -> Int! {
var index: Int!
let searchBarView = subviews[0]
for var i=0; i<searchBarView.subviews.count; ++i {
if searchBarView.subviews[i].isKindOfClass(UITextField) {
index = i
break
}
}
return index
}
}
My Custom searchController looks like this
class CustomSearchController: UISearchController, UISearchBarDelegate {
var customSearchBar: CustomSearchBar!
var customDelegate: CustomSearchControllerDelegate!
init(searchResultsController: UIViewController!, searchBarFrame: CGRect, searchBarFont: UIFont, searchBarTextColor: UIColor, searchBarTintColor: UIColor){
super.init(searchResultsController: searchResultsController)
configureSearchBar(searchBarFrame, font: searchBarFont, textColor: searchBarTextColor, bgColor: searchBarTintColor)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
override init(nibName nibNameOrNil: String?, bundle nibBundleOrNil: NSBundle?){
super.init(nibName: nibNameOrNil, bundle: nibBundleOrNil)
}
func configureSearchBar(frame: CGRect, font: UIFont, textColor:UIColor, bgColor: UIColor){
customSearchBar = CustomSearchBar(frame: frame, font: font, textColor: textColor)
customSearchBar.barTintColor = bgColor
customSearchBar.tintColor = textColor
customSearchBar.showsBookmarkButton = true
customSearchBar.setImage(UIImage(named: "recording.png"), forSearchBarIcon: UISearchBarIcon.Bookmark, state: UIControlState.Normal)
customSearchBar.setImage(UIImage(named:"record_tap.png"), forSearchBarIcon: UISearchBarIcon.Bookmark, state: UIControlState.Selected)
customSearchBar.showsCancelButton = false
customSearchBar.delegate = self
}
In my view controller where I'm creating this searchbar I use the following piece of code. that is being called in my viewDidLoad()
func configureCustomSearchController() {
customSearchController = CustomSearchController(searchResultsController: self, searchBarFrame: CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.width, 100.0), searchBarFont: UIFont(name: "Futura", size: 18.0)!, searchBarTextColor: UIColor(red: 0.612, green: 0.984, blue: 0.533, alpha: 1), searchBarTintColor: UIColor.blackColor())
customSearchController.customSearchBar.placeholder = "Search.."
tblSearchResults.tableHeaderView = customSearchController.customSearchBar
customSearchController.customDelegate = self
}
I'm able to change the frame of the entire searchbar see above where I set it too 100. But I'm unable to change the height of the UITextField which I want to make bigger. I'm also sure I'm reaching the UITextView. When I change the color in the drawRect function it changes. Just the height is the problem here. Does someone have any clue what I'm doing wrong or what I need to do to achieve this.
