UISearchDisplayController strange behaviour with searchResultsTableView and self.tableView

Question

this is my storyboard view and it's connections:

In my specific case I have the searchResultsTableView that gets its data from the first external web service and the self.tableview that fetches data from another web service.

I add some code to be clear:

-(BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString { ... }

this fetched the first web services, in particular return NO

and there is a:

[self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView reloadData];

to reload the data when the fetch is completed.

Then we have:

-(void) doSearch:(NSString*) keyword inStore:(NSInteger) store getPage: (int) pagenum {..}

that fetches the second web service and set the results in an array called 'fetchedItems'

Now, to manage this two tables I had to write this method:

- (void)searchBarSearchButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
  NSLog(@"Avvio ricerca..");
  // Do the search...
  NSInteger store = [self buttonSelected];
  [self doSearch:searchBar.text inStore:store getPage:1];
  [self.searchDisplayController setActive:NO];
}

I tried without the 'setActive:NO' but the self.searchDisplayController.searchTableView remains displayed and I can't se the "underneath" self.tableView with the 'doSearch' results

Ok. Now I have this method:

    - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"foundCell";
      static NSString *suggestionCellIdentifier = @"suggestionCell";
      UITableViewCell *cell;


       if (tableView == self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView) {
         // HERE I AM WITH SEARCHDISPLAYCONTROLLER    

         cell = [self.tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:suggestionCellIdentifier];
         cell.textLabel.text = [self.suggestions objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
      } else {
        // HERE I AM WITH SELF.TABLEVIEW

    }

    return cell;
}

Now it works, but there's a problem! When i tap on the tableview with the results (denoted by self.tableview) I can't catch the tap with the method - (void) tableView: (UITableView *) tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *) indexPath {...}

but instead I get the re-opening of the uisearchdisplaycontroller in edit mode (so the user can tap inside the searchbar)

Where am I wrong?

Answer 1

fixed! When using displaysSearchBarInNavigationBar = YES we need that the searchbar is OUT for the tableview in the storyboard!
