ios - How to left align UISearchBar placeholder text

Question

I need to make a custom search bar like this. The problem I am having is left aligning the placeholder text, as well as placing the search icon in the right. I have a png of the search icon that I have tried to use in an UIImageView, and set that UIImageView as the rightView of the UISearchBar's UITextField. This solution has not worked, and I ran out of ideas. Does anyone have a solution?

Answer 1

Don't use a UISearchBar if you need to do these kinds of customizations. You'll have to make your own using a UITextField and a UIImageView, and responding to the delegate calls.
