Question

I created a UISearchBar. It is working but not the way I want. If I enter any first letter on the UISearchbar and then I click on the SearchButton, it doesn’t work but when I push the next controller and I come back, then I see my search result in TableView. The first time my TableView does not refresh.

Here is my custom cell class and my controller class

@synthesize myTableView;
@synthesize tabledata;

    sBar =[[UISearchBar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 30)]; 
    sBar.delegate=self;   
    [self.view addSubview:sBar];
    searcheddata =[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
    NSLog(@"*************:%&",list);
    list=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init]; 
    tabledata =[[NSMutableArray alloc]init]; 
    list = [app.journeyList retain];
    [tabledata addObjectsFromArray:list];
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    [tableView reloadData];
}
