I want white status bar in my app. For this I set View controller-based status bar appearance
to NO
and Status bar style
to UISt
In your plist file add View controller-based status bar appearance
Bool property and set it to YES.
Now in your view controller add the methods like below:
// TO MAKE STATUS BAR WHITE
override func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle {
return .LightContent
}
// TO MAKE STATUS BAR BLACK
override func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle {
return .LightContent
}
// RETURN TRUE TO HIDE AND FALSE TO SHOW STATUS BAR
override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
return true
}
For Objective-C
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
return NO;
}
-(UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle {
return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
}
For removing redundant code you can make a BaseViewController
as subclass of UIViewController
and add the methods in that class. And override the method in the class which requires change.
if your viewcontroller is embedded in UInavigationController then try writing this code in your
-(BOOL)prefreStatusBarHidden
{
return [self.navigationController prefersStatusBarHidden];
}
This is the swift version:
To hide the status bar or change it's appearance, you need to override the following properties in your view controller itself
override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool{
return true
}
the above hides the status bar and below if you want to set it to white:
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
return .lightContent
}
You can do this by setting the navigation background image in your base viewcontroller.
UIImage *bgImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bg_navigationbar"];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:bgImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
you can set using xcode status bar style is "light"
