Question

I have a search bar positioned above a tableview. The search functionality works great.

The problem is when there are more than 4 search results, the other results are hidden behind the popped up keyboard. Is there an easy way to resize the tableview that contains the results only while searching?

Answer 1

What I was looking to do was resize the tableview while the keyboard was active. Here’s how to do it:

CGFloat height = (self.tableView.frame.size.height/2);
CGFloat width = self.tableView.frame.size.width;

CGRect halfFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height);
tableView.frame = halfFrame;

When the keyboard is removed, use this code to resize the tableview back to normal:

CGFloat height = (self.tableView.frame.size.height*2);
CGFloat width = self.tableView.frame.size.width;

CGRect fullFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height);
tableView.frame = fullFrame;
