iPhone UISearchBar animated to top

Question

There are lots of apps where the searchbar moves upwards if active and moves down when it is inactive. There is a sample code from apple available which works with IB, but how can I achieve this behavior programmatically? Mostly it is combined with a navigationbar which moves out of the screen in replace with the searchbar

Answer 1

When the search bar becomes first responder it will animate itself. You can call [searchBar becomeFirstResponder]; or something like that, checkpoint the docs.
