Since iOS 7 rolled out, I can't show or hide status bar with animation just like in iOS 6. For now I use NSTimer to control it when to hide.
here is my code:
- (void)hideStatusBar{
_isStatusBarHidden=YES;
[self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
}
- (void)showStatusBar{
_isStatusBarHidden=NO;
[self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
}
//===================
_controlVisibilityTimer = [[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:4 target:self selector:@selector(hideStatusBar:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO] retain];
But unfortunately the way of status bar hiding seems a little bit rough, not fading away. Is someone out there has a solution to this ?
Update
I solved the hiding issue, using @hahaha solution. I just need a view to be the background of the status bar, here is my code.
AppDelegate* appDelegate = (AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
self.StatusBarOrange = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, appDelegate.window.frame.size.width, 20)];
[self.StatusBarOrange setBackgroundColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];
[appDelegate.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:self.StatusBarOrange];
and now everything works perfectly!
You need to call
from within an animation block as in the following example:
