How to add the UISegmentedControl in UINavigationBar?
I think you are looking for this.
let searchVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier:"idofcontroller")
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: searchVC)
searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
searchController.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "Search"
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
definesPresentationContext = true
searchController.searchBar.scopeButtonTitles = ["News", "Photos", "Videos"]
searchController.searchBar.delegate = self
This is how I do it in Objective C (sorry, I haven't learned Swift yet):
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.viewControllers = [self segmentViewControllers];
self.segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems: [self.segmentedControl addTarget: self
action: @selector(segmentClicked:)
forControlEvents: UIControlEventValueChanged];
CGFloat topOffset = self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height + [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarFrame.size.height;
self.toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, topOffset, self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.width, kDefaultViewHeight)];
self.toolbar.delegate = self;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.toolbar.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.toolbar.clipsToBounds = YES;
UIBarButtonItem *segmentedControlItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView: self.segmentedControl];
UIBarButtonItem *flexibleItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem: UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace
target: nil
action: nil];
[self.toolbar setItems: @[flexibleItem, segmentedControlItem, flexibleItem] animated: YES];
[self.navigationController.view addSubview: self.toolbar];
self.segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = 0;
}
And in UITableViewController (one of the segmentViewControllers):
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(topOffset, 0, 0, 0);
CGRect currentFrame = self.tableView.frame;
[self.tableView setFrame: CGRectMake(currentFrame.origin.x,
currentFrame.origin.y,
currentFrame.size.width,
currentFrame.size.height + [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarFrame.size.height)];
To put it in the navigationBar has a right left and title view for such things... accessed using....
self.navigationItem.titleView = mySegmentedControl
for future reference....
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItems // for adding an Array of items
To add it below the navigation view but have it static.. add it to the viewController.view... Are you using a UITableViewController? If so maybe switch to a UIViewController and add a tableView then your toolbarview as subviews to that self.view.
To add segment control in UINavigationBar in Swift 5
let segment: UISegmentedControl = UISegmentedControl(items: ["First", "Second"])
segment.sizeToFit()
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
segment.selectedSegmentTintColor = UIColor.red
} else {
segment.tintColor = UIColor.red
}
segment.selectedSegmentIndex = 0
segment.setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.font : UIFont(name: "ProximaNova-Light", size: 15)!], for: .normal)
self.navigationItem.titleView = segment
