Change UISearchBar/Keyboard Search Button Title
For a searchbar named tablesearchbar:
// Set the return key and keyboard appearance of the search bar
for (UIView *searchBarSubview in [tableSearchBar subviews]) {
if ([searchBarSubview conformsToProtocol:@protocol(UITextInputTraits)]) {
@try {
[(UITextField *)searchBarSubview setReturnKeyType:UIReturnKeyDone];
[(UITextField *)searchBarSubview setKeyboardAppearance:UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert];
}
@catch (NSException * e) {
// ignore exception
}
}
}
At least for iOS 8, simply:
[self.searchBar setReturnKeyType:UIReturnKeyDone];
As of iOS 7 beta 5, Run Loop's answer didn't work for me, but this did:
for(UIView *subView in [searchBar subviews]) {
if([subView conformsToProtocol:@protocol(UITextInputTraits)]) {
[(UITextField *)subView setReturnKeyType: UIReturnKeyDone];
} else {
for(UIView *subSubView in [subView subviews]) {
if([subSubView conformsToProtocol:@protocol(UITextInputTraits)]) {
[(UITextField *)subSubView setReturnKeyType: UIReturnKeyDone];
}
}
}
}
