Question

I added a UISearchBar and UISearchDisplayController with a UINavigationController. Because we needed a few buttons in the navigationBar, I created a custom view that contains a few buttons, and put that as the rightBarButtonItem. I notice when I click on the search bar, the keyboard pops up from the bottom, and also moves the UINavigationController’s navigationBar off the screen. So now I cannot see what I enter in my UISearchBar. Is there a way to get around this? I’ve seen other apps that it looks like they use a UINavigationBar + multiple buttons on the LHS or RHS of the navigationBar, so I’m assuming this is possible. Thanks.

UIButton *homeButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 44, 44)];
UIImage *house = [UIImage imageNamed:@"icon_house.png"];
[homeButton setImage:house forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[homeButton addTarget:self action:@selector(homePressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

UIButton *filterButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(49, 0, 44, 44)];
[filterButton setTitle:@"Filter" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[filterButton addTarget:self action:@selector(FilterButtonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

self.SearchEntry = [[[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(98, 0, 150, 44)] autorelease];
self.SearchEntry.delegate = self;
UISearchDisplayController *searchDisplayCtlr = [[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:_searchEntry contentsController:self];
searchDisplayCtlr.searchResultsDataSource = self;
searchDisplayCtlr.searchResultsDelegate = self;
searchDisplayCtlr.delegate = self;


UIView *containerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 248, 44)];
[containerView addSubview:homeButton];
[containerView addSubview:filterButton];
[containerView addSubview:_searchEntry];

Try to adjust the contentSize of the UIScrollView. Also please take care of the Hierarchy of the controls you have taken. Dont keep UINavigationBar and UISearchView in ScrollView, then it will not move and remains fixed in their position
