Searchbar animate cancel button

Hi,

I have a searchbar that is NOT connected to a table view. I wan't to mimic the animation of the cancel button when the searchbar gains focus if it's connected to a tableview.

On focus I set showCancel to true and on blur I set it to false. But this does not produce any animation.

Any ideas on how to get the animation?

  • i've checked source code of SearchBar at github master branch and I think it's not possible at the moment. You can compile your own SDK to make it animated.

    in: iphone/Classes/TiUISearchBar.m

    About line 70:

    Change:

    [search setShowsCancelButton:[TiUtils boolValue:value]];

    to

    [search setShowsCancelButton:[TiUtils boolValue:value] animated:YES];

    I haven't tried by myself but it would be very nice feature to make it optional (or just make it default, so no more ugly/instant visible/hidden cancel buttons).

    • I've tested it with latest github master branch and it works like a charm. I'm also working on scopeBar for searchBar UI component but I still couldn't get it working so I'm not an Obj-C guy :)

  • If you look in the latest KitchenSink for Titanium 1.6.x you will see that table_view_api_search.js has the code you're looking for. :) Works flawless on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2!

    Cheers,
