Ios – How to change cancel button tint color of UISearchBar in iOS7

iosiphoneobjective cuisearchbar

I want to change tint color of Textfield to blue color and cancel button tint color of UISearchBar to white color.

I am using below code.

for (UIView *subView in searchBar.subviews)
{
    for (UIView *ndLeveSubView in subView.subviews)
    {
        if([ndLeveSubView isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]])
        {
            [(UITextField *)subView setTintColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
        }
        else if ([ndLeveSubView isKindOfClass:[UIButton class]])
        {
            [(UIButton *)subView setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
        }
    }
}

But this changes both Textfield and cancel button's tint color to white. Can any one suggest another method for it?

Here's what I am getting…

The tint color of TextField is also White…..

Try some thing like this:

[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor whiteColor],UITextAttributeTextColor,[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, 1)],UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,nil] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Objective-c – How to attach more than one controller to views its subviews

It is to do with the way you are structuring your application. For the BlueView1..6 to be handled by a separate view controller, it is that view controller which needs to create the view.

You need to create the view controllers for each blue view inside the main view controller, and then create each blue view inside the blue view inside each blue view controller.

Ios – How to change Status Bar text color in iOS

Set the UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to YES in the .plist file.
In the viewDidLoad do a [self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];

Add the following method:

- (UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle
{ 
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent; 
}

Note: This does not work for controllers inside UINavigationController, please see Tyson's comment below :)

Swift 3 - This will work controllers inside UINavigationController. Add this code inside your controller.

// Preferred status bar style lightContent to use on dark background.
// Swift 3
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
    return .lightContent
}

Swift 5 and SwiftUI

For SwiftUI create a new swift file called HostingController.swift

import Foundation
import UIKit
import SwiftUI

class HostingController: UIHostingController<ContentView> {
    override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
        return .lightContent
    }
}

Then change the following lines of code in the SceneDelegate.swift

window.rootViewController = UIHostingController(rootView: ContentView())

window.rootViewController = HostingController(rootView: ContentView())
