I know this is a long write-up, but it's just one issue I promise.
The Setup
I'm getting some very strange behavior with a UISearchController. Let me describe the hierarchy, then I'll explain step by step what happens in my video:
The first view you see is a regular ViewController, with a tableView and the UISearchController as completely separate entities. The UISearchController has its own searchResultsController that I set when I create it:
let searchResultsController = MyResultsControllerClass() searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: searchResultsController) That's the basic setup.
The Behavior
A link to a video of the behavior
The MyResultsControllerClass has a tableView, as well as a pointer back to the master view controller all these views are housed in. When the searchController's searchBar begins searching, you see that tableView show up. Then I tap a result, Programming Club. The MyResultsControllerClass uses the pointer to the master view to push a new view controller (just details about that event) like so:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) { let activityDetail = ActivityDetailViewController(nibName: nil, bundle: nil, activity: searchResults[indexPath.row]) parentController?.navigationController?.pushViewController(activityDetail, animated: true) } You can see this happen behind the searchBar, but the searchController is not "covered up" by the presented view! This is my issue. As you can see, I can still interact with it. When I press "Cancel", it finally disappears.
What I've tried
Now, I thought this might have to do with the fact that a UISearchController is in fact a UIViewController, if I understand correctly. So I attempted pushing from the UISearchController, nothing happens. I tried embedding the UISearchController in its own UINavigationController and pushing from searchController.navigationController, nothing happens. I can completely cancel the editing before pushing, but I want the editing to still exist when they navigate back.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this?
