Change keyboard color for UISearchBar

I'd love to change the color of the Search button on my keyboard to match the theme of my application. But if it's not possible, at least I would like to do

self.searchBar.keyboardAppearance = UIKeyboardAppearanceDark;

But that doesn't work because as I assume searchBar is not a UITextField. So how can I do this successfully? I mean, change the "Search" color on your keyboard: full or just a dark theme.

Try to run



for(UIView *subView in self.searchBar.subviews) {
        if([subView conformsToProtocol:@protocol(UITextInputTraits)]) {
            [(UITextField *)subView setKeyboardAppearance: UIKeyboardAppearanceDark];
        }
    }

For iOS 8 use



self.searchBar.keyboardAppearance = UIKeyboardAppearance.Dark

Try this, it works with IOS 6, IOS 7 and IOS 8:

[self setKeyboardOnSearchBar:self.searchBar];

And the function:

-(void)setKeyboardOnSearchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
    for(UIView *subView in searchBar.subviews) {
        if([subView conformsToProtocol:@protocol(UITextInputTraits)]) {
            [(UITextField *)subView setKeyboardAppearance:UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert];
            [(UITextField *)subView setReturnKeyType:UIReturnKeySearch];
        } else {
            for(UIView *subSubView in [subView subviews]) {
                if([subSubView conformsToProtocol:@protocol(UITextInputTraits)]) {
                    [(UITextField *)subSubView setReturnKeyType:UIReturnKeySearch];
                    [(UITextField *)subSubView setKeyboardAppearance:UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert];
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
