SearchBar text empty when searchBarSearchButtonClicked called

Question

I've implemented the searchBarSearchButtonClicked delegate method in my view controller

- (void)searchBarSearchButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {

    searchBar.text = textView.text
}

The method is successfully called when the "Search" button is clicked but the searchBar.text property is empty.

Any ideas why searchBar.text would be empty?

is there any value in textView.text? – iProgrammer Jul 11 '11 at 11:24 — iProgrammer, Jul 11 '11 at 11:24

You should use the value from "searchBar.text" instead of assigning the value of the "textView.text" to it. Try this:

Comment this "searchBar.text = textView.text" and add "NSLog(@"%@",searchBar.text);"

Check in your log the value of the search bar now. You could also check your XIB file, if you have connected your search bar's delegate to your File's owner.
