I am attempting to add a UISearchBar (with its corresponding search logic) but there is a problem: I am using the UITableViewController subclass's automatically generated UITableView instead of a separate nib file, and manipulating everything programmatically in terms of the table view.
In Interface Builder, there is an option to add a Search Bar and Search Display Controller to a nib. Is there a way to accomplish this same task programmatically or is it in my favor to abandon the default UITableView and transfer to a custom UITableView nib file so that I can easily add the UISearchbar?
Also, I have tried testing out just adding a Search Bar to my UITableView header (which is where I want it to go) via the following code in my viewDidLoad implementation, but it shows up behind table section header and hence is invisible unless the table is scrolled down to show what would otherwise be white space. What's up with this?
UISearchBar *testbar = [[UISearchBar alloc] init];
[[self tableView] setTableHeaderView:testbar];
