objective c - Move SearchBar up when active

Question

Currently I have a searchbar placed at the centre of my view. I was wondering if there was a way to have it move up to the top of the view when it's active and then move back when it's not.

Any help?

Add the below KeyBoard observer notifications into ViewWillAppear

 [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
 [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];

In KeyboardWillShow, move the search bar to top

-(void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification*)sender
{
  //Move search bar to top 
  self.searchBar.frame=CGRectMake(0, 10, self.searchBar.frame.size.width, self.searchBar.frame.size.height);
}

In KeyBoardWillHide, move the search to center

-(void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification*)sender
{
  //Move search bar to center
 self.searchBar.frame=CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height/2, self.searchBar.frame.size.width, self.searchBar.frame.size.height);

}

In ViewWillDisappear, remove the keyboard observer

 [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
 [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
