Status bar and navigation bar issue in IOS7

Question

I am migrating my application to iOS 7. For handing the status bar issue I have added this code

if([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >         


        

Answer 1

#define _kisiOS7 ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0)

 if (_kisiOS7)
    {
        [[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:_kColorFromHEX(@"#011C47")];
    }
    else
    {
        [[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundColor:_kColorFromHEX(@"#011C47")];
        [[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:_kColorFromHEX(@"#011C47")];
    }

Answer 2

With Salesforce SDK 2.1 (Cordova 2.3.0) we had to do the following to get the status bar appear on the initial load of the App and coming back from the background (iPhone and iPad):

Contrarily to other solutions posted here, this one seems to survive rotation of the device.

1-Create a category of theSFHybridViewController

#import "SFHybridViewController+Amalto.h"

@implementation SFHybridViewController (Amalto)

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
    {
        //Lower screen 20px on ios 7
        if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {
            CGRect viewBounds = self.view.bounds;
            viewBounds.origin.y = 20;
            viewBounds.size.height = viewBounds.size.height - 20;
            self.webView.frame = viewBounds;
        }

    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    }

    - (void)viewDidLoad
    {

        if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {
            CGRect viewBounds = self.view.bounds;
            viewBounds.origin.y = 20;
            viewBounds.size.height = viewBounds.size.height - 20;
            self.webView.frame = viewBounds;
        }
        [super viewDidLoad];
    }

@end

2-Add to AppDelegate.m imports

#import "SFHybridViewController+Amalto.h"

3-Inject at the end of of method didFinishLaunchingWithOptions of AppDelegate

//Make the status bar appear
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {

    [application setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
    [application setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
}

4-Add to App-Info.plist the property

View controller-based status bar appearance with value NO

Answer 3

To hide status bar in ios7 follow these simple steps :

In Xcode goto "Resources" folder and open "(app name)-Info.plist file".

• check for "View controller based status bar appearance" key and set its value "NO"
• check for "Status bar is initially hidden" key and set its value "YES"

If the keys are not there then you can add it by selecting "information property list" at top and click + icon

Answer 4

Hear we can do this for all views at once

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions 
{
// Notification for the orientaiton change
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(applicationDidChangeStatusBarOrientation:)
                                             name:UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarOrientationNotification
                                           object:nil];

// Window framing changes condition for iOS7 or greater
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {
    statusBarBackgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, -20, self.window.frame.size.width, 20)];//statusBarBackgroundView is normal uiview
    statusBarBackgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.000 alpha:0.730];
    [self.window addSubview:statusBarBackgroundView];
    self.window.bounds = CGRectMake(0, -20, self.window.frame.size.width, self.window.frame.size.height);
}
// Window framing changes condition for iOS7 or greater

self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];


return YES;
}

And While we are using orientation we can add below method in app delegate to set it via orientation.

- (void)applicationDidChangeStatusBarOrientation:(NSNotification *)notification
{
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {
    statusBarBackgroundView.hidden = YES;
    UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation;
    int width = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width;
    int height = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height;

    switch (orientation) {
        case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft:
            self.window.bounds =  CGRectMake(-20,0,width,height);
            statusBarBackgroundView.frame = CGRectMake(-20, 0, 20, height);
            break;
        case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight:
            self.window.bounds =  CGRectMake(20,0,width,height);
            statusBarBackgroundView.frame = CGRectMake(320, 0, 20, height);
            break;
        case UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown:
            statusBarBackgroundView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 568, width, 20);
            self.window.bounds =  CGRectMake(0, 20, width, height);
            break;
        default:
            statusBarBackgroundView.frame = CGRectMake(0, -20, width, 20);
            self.window.bounds =  CGRectMake(0, -20, width, height);
            break;
    }
    statusBarBackgroundView.hidden = NO;
}
}

You should Add below navigation controller category for it

.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
@interface UINavigationController (iOS6fix)

@end

.m

#import "UINavigationController+iOS6fix.h"
@implementation UINavigationController (iOS6fix)  

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
      return [[self.viewControllers lastObject] shouldAutorotate];
}

-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
      return [[self.viewControllers lastObject] supportedInterfaceOrientations];
}

- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
     return [[self.viewControllers lastObject] preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation];
}

@end

Answer 5

There are several different ways. One approach is to use .plist file

• Add a new key "View controller-based status bar appearance" and set value as "NO".
• Add another key "Status bar is initially hidden" and set value as "YES".

This will hide status bar throughout project.

Answer 6

just set the following code in viewWillAppear.

 if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue]<= 7) {
    self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
 }
