iPhone how to create a full screen app?

Question

I\'ve been trying to create a full screen view. I plan on using core graphics for rendering. I am new to iPhone development so please forgive this basic question.

Here\'

Answer 1

This works and it is the easiest

UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance : NO in the .plist

Answer 2

There are two methods;

In the info.plist for your application add a boolean key UIStatusBarHidden and set it to true.

At runtime you can call setStatusBarHidden on your application to show/hide the status bar. E.g.

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO]

Answer 3

You may also want to make your rect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]

Answer 4

Add below method in respective view controller

-(BOOL) prefersStatusBarHidden

It worked for me.

Answer 5

Since I just found the answer I was looking for here, I may as well add that the above method is now depreciated. The modern method is:

- (void)setStatusBarHidden:(BOOL)hidden withAnimation:(UIStatusBarAnimation)animation

Thanks!
