I want to set the colour of the status bar (The small strip on top where the clock and battery is displayed) to black background with white text. How can I do this ? My approach so far : I added the following in the info.plist View controller-based status bar appearance --> NO and in the viewController - (UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle { return UIStatusBarStyleDefault; } However, the style does not change. How can I make the status bar black? For Xcode 8 / iOS 10 / Swift 3: Change the status bar background color temporarily on one view by adding a colored UIView under the status bar.

How to hide this < Back to Safari from status bar programmatically? I'm getting it in my app – as I'm going out from my app if a user wants to login with their Facebook account.

I'm trying to convert my iOS 7 app to iOS 8 in Xcode 6 GM, and when i run it on the iPhone 5s or lower simulators with iOS 8 everything is fine, but on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus simulators, the Status Bar has black text instead of white like it is everywhere anytime else. I've set the Info.plist UIStatusBarStyle to "Transparent Black Style (alpha of 0.5)" thru Xcode, and that seems to have the desired effect everywhere else. Any ideas what is going on? (I haven't touched any of the storyboards yet, could it be anything with that? I was hoping I could put that off for a while:) Aaron Wasserman

I want to put an icon in the status bar when ever my application is running, including when it is running in the background. How can I do this? Greg Giacovelli You should be able to do this with Notification and the NotificationManager. However getting a guaranteed way to know when your application is not running is the hard part. You can get the basic functionality of what you are desiring by doing something like: Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.your_app_icon, R.string.name_of_your_app, System.currentTimeMillis()); notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR |

I know that are already some stackoverflow questions that say how to change the status bar for all view controllers. I am currently changing the color of status bar this way: if(IS_IOS7) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent]; In the application:DidFinishLaunching Additionally, I have changed the value of UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance in the plist to NO .
