I have an app that sometimes needs its navigation bar to blend in with the content.
Does anyone know how to get rid of or to change color of this annoying little ba
I use a UINavigationBar extension that enables me to hide/show that shadow using the UIAppearance API or selecting which navigation bar has to hide/show that shadow using Storyboard (or source code). Here is the extension:
import UIKit
private var flatAssociatedObjectKey: UInt8 = 0
/*
An extension that adds a "flat" field to UINavigationBar. This flag, when
enabled, removes the shadow under the navigation bar.
*/
@IBDesignable extension UINavigationBar {
@IBInspectable var flat: Bool {
get {
guard let obj = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &flatAssociatedObjectKey) as? NSNumber else {
return false
}
return obj.boolValue;
}
set {
if (newValue) {
let void = UIImage()
setBackgroundImage(void, forBarPosition: .Any, barMetrics: .Default)
shadowImage = void
} else {
setBackgroundImage(nil, forBarPosition: .Any, barMetrics: .Default)
shadowImage = nil
}
objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &flatAssociatedObjectKey, NSNumber(bool: newValue),
objc_AssociationPolicy.OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC)
}
}
}
Now, to disable the shadow across all navigation bars you have to use:
UINavigationBar.appearance().flat = true
Or you can enable/disable this behavior using storyboards:
