searchBar:shouldChangeTextInRange:replacementText not called

Question

The searchBar:shouldChangeTextInRange:replacementText never called. The delegate is defined, the methods – searchBarShouldBeginEditing: and searchBarTextDidBeginEditing: works fine but the shouldChangeTextInRange not called. I discovered that when setp in a method that use alertview and after I try to use the searchbar..the shouldChangeTextInRange is called...but before not

-(void) searchBarTextDidBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {
     }

- (BOOL)searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
 return YES;
}

-(BOOL)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text
{
 return YES;
}


-(BOOL)searchBarShouldEndEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {
return  YES;
 }

 -(void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText {

  }

Answer 1

I have missed the code below in appDelegate , applicationDidFinishLauching

 self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

Now the SearchBar is working fine!
