I'm building an iOS 9
app with horizontal
pages navigation and need to show the status bar on some pages, and hide it on others. I want to use the fade in/out animation so I have to set
View controller-based status bar appearance = NO
and update the status bar like this:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
This procedure works perfectly when navigating between pages, but I can't get rid of the status bar on launch.
I have tried setting: Status bar is initially hidden = YES
Adding this to the NavigationControllers viewDidLoad:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
self.statusBarHidden = YES;
[self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];
Adding this to AppDelegates didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
application.statusBarHidden = YES;
Adding this to the ViewController of the initial page:
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
return YES;
}
Checking the "Hide status bar" option in General->Deployment Info
And setting "Status Bar" to "None" in the linked storyboard element
But the status bar is still showing up on launch. How can I get rid of the status bar on launch without changing the value of View controller-based status bar appearance
?
Just tick the hide status bar in project setting as below.
- Project setting - For hiding the status bar at launch of app.
- Add below in viewController for which you need to hide.
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
return YES;
}
/------ UPDATE -----/
With tick of hide status bar
Without tick of hide status bar
/------ Animate Status Bar -----/
In plist.
View controller-based status bar appearance = NO
Then in viewWillAppear method.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
changing plist file :
set Status bar is initially hidden = YES
add row: View controller-based status bar appearance = NO
In order to achieve what you are looking for you need set in the app.plist
file:
Status bar is initially hidden
to YES
View controller-based status bar appearance
to NO
Then in every view controller to show it
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];
or to hide it:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
Goto Targets->General->Deployment Info: and under that select Hide Status Bar option.
Turns out what I was doing was correct, but there was an errant [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];
buried in inherited code. I grepped it, but overlooked that line...
(use git grep StatusBar
to find lines of code in a git repo that mutate the status bar)
Also, the only code needed is:
View controller-based status bar appearance = NO
(in plist)
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
anywhere the status bar needs updating (usually in viewWillAppear
)
