How to make a UIView that can cover the navigation bar?

Question

I want to show the UIView in full screen, but show the status bar, other things, like the navigation bar need to cover by the UIView.

Answer 1

I know the OP was looking for a way to cover the navigation bar totally, but instead of covering it, you could just temporarily hide it. Once hidden, you can add you view as a subView and change its frame or constraints so it takes up the whole screen.

- (void)showViewOverNavBar:(UIView *)view {

    [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
    [self.view addSubview:view];
}
