UIView background sizing issue

Question

I\'m adding a UIImageView to the UIViewController\'s UIView as I would normally, with the frame of the image view being the same as self.view to make sure that the

Answer 1

In your app delegate set the FullScreenLayout to YES just before you make it the view controller the root view controller:

ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] init];
[vc setWantsFullScreenLayout:YES];
[[self window] setRootViewController:vc];

or you can set it in viewDidLoad

[self setWantsFullScreenLayout:YES];

A summary on setWantsFullScreenLayout: When a view controller presents its view, it normally shrinks that view so that its frame does not overlap the device’s status bar. Setting this property to YES causes the view controller to size its view so that it fills the entire screen, including the area under the status bar. (Of course, for this to happen, the window hosting the view controller must itself be sized to fill the entire screen, including the area underneath the status bar.) You would typically set this property to YES in cases where you have a translucent status bar and want your view’s content to be visible behind that view. From here

Hope this helps.
