Question

When pressing a button in my view controller it shows a UIView which has UISearchBar and UISearchDisplayController and UITableView in it(changes the view’s hidden property to NO).
When I select a row in the table view I set the view’s property to hidden=YES, but it doesn’t hide the tableView. What can be the problem?

I implemented the UITableViewDelegate protocol and I receive tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: message(I set the view’s hidden=YES there).

Please note that when I call view’s hidden=YES from searchBarCancelButtonClicked: it hides successfully.

I think that UISearchDisplayController is causing the problem.

Some code:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    self.searchView.hidden = YES; // hide successfully the tableView.
}

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath   *)indexPath
{
    self.searchView.hidden = YES; //doesn't hide the tableView.
}

EDIT: Found the problem, see my answer below. In short I added [self.searchDisplayController setActive:NO];

Answer 1

Found the problem – I needed to add [self.searchDisplayController setActive:NO]; and now it works.

Code:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath  
{
    [self.searchDisplayController setActive:NO]; //Added line of code.
    self.searchView.hidden = YES; // Now it works!
}
