How to overlay navigationBar with TableViewController? - swift

I've set my navigationBar background invisible using the following code:
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barStyle = .black
But my tableView had an indent and I've lifted it to the top by this:
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
self.tableView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never
}
else {
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
}
The problem is that I have a tabBar and now tabBar overlays my tableView too
How can I set contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior only for top? Or should I use another way for lifting tableView and make navigationBar invisible?

Need to show navigation title while using searchBar in navigationBar

I need to show large navigation title while search with searchBar, but when I'm clicking on Searchbar or starting to type my NavigationTitle is replaced with SearchBar. I checked methods for navigationItem and didn't find any suitable.
Does anybody know how can we always show title, even while searching?
Here is my code
class FavouriteVC: UIViewController {
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = .white
navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
navigationItem.title = "Favourite"
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode = .always
}
}
And here are shots
screen with NavTitle
screen without NavTitle
Seems like UISearchController has a hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation that prevents the navigation bar from hiding when set to false
Include:
searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
in your viewDidLoad and if I've understood your issue right, this should do what you need.

Set UIImagePickerController navigation bar to opaque in iOS 13

I am presenting a UIImagePickerController to pick an image. My code is as simple as:
private lazy var imagePicker: UIImagePickerController = {
let picker = UIImagePickerController()
picker.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
return picker
}()
func presentPicker() {
imagePicker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
imagePicker.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
present(self.imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I am setting picker.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false to have an opaque navigation bar in the picker controller. Unfortunately this doesn't work on iOS 13 and the navigation & status bars are transparent.
Partial solution:
private func setOpaqueNavigationiOS13() {
UINavigationBar.appearance().backgroundColor = .white
}
private func resetNavigationiOS13() {
UINavigationBar.appearance().backgroundColor = .clear
}
I call the above functions to make the navigation bar opaque and to reset it when dismissing the picker. This makes the navigation bar opaque but the status bar is transparent. I can implement a hack to make the status bar opaque as well but I guess there should be a simpler solution.
EDIT:
I've also tried setting the navigation bar's appearance by the new UINavigationBarAppearance:
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
appearance.configureWithOpaqueBackground()
appearance.backgroundColor = .white
UINavigationBar.appearance().standardAppearance = appearance
UINavigationBar.appearance().compactAppearance = appearance
UINavigationBar.appearance().scrollEdgeAppearance = appearance
}
Or:
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
appearance.configureWithOpaqueBackground()
appearance.backgroundColor = .white
imagePicker.navigationBar.standardAppearance = appearance
imagePicker.navigationBar.compactAppearance = appearance
imagePicker.navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = appearance
}
Anyone that came up with a fix? Thanks
I am posting my solution in case it's helpful for others.
Although matt's answer is totally correct, it applies when all of you nav bar setup is done through UINavigationBarAppearance. This did not help in my case because I've already done this in AppDelegate:
// Make navigation bar transparent throughout whole app
UINavigationBar.appearance().setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
And as my app showcases a lot of nav bar styling and I needed a quick fix just to satisfy iOS 13 changes I just did this:
// Set nav bar to opaque
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
UINavigationBar.appearance().setBackgroundImage(nil, for: .default)
}
Just don't forget to bring it back to transparent if needed.
In iOS 13, the correct way to customize the look of a navigation bar is through the UIBarAppearance architecture (the navigation bar's standardAppearance and so forth). You can apply this directly to the navigation bar or use the UINavigationBar appearance proxy.

UINavigationController NavigationBar not applying transparent image

When applying transparent image in the navigation tab bar. It's turning white instead of being transparent..
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.white
Ensure that something is under the navigation bar so that it does not just become transparent showing the white background. You will need to drag uiviews under it and then add layout constraints. Otherwise, make sure you check that you have not changed the color of the navigation bar elsewhere.
Use this extension to make navigation bar transperant.
extension UINavigationController {
func transparant() {
self.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: UIBarMetrics.default)
self.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
self.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
}
}
if you are using Navigation Controller try this:
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
title = "Some Title"
if you are using UINavigationBar try this:
#IBOutlet var navBarOutlet: UINavigationBar!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// navigatin bar transparent
navBarOutlet.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(),for:.default)
navBarOutlet.shadowImage=UIImage()
navBarOutlet.topItem?.title = "Some Title"
}

White line under navigation bar when scrolling or until pressing on the search bar

As you can see in the video, there is a white thin line under the navigation bar the moment i start scrolling.
It would only disappear when I would press on the searchBar (contained by my searchController, so the search bar is not added from the Storyboard). I tried a lot of different combinations in order to try to make it disappear but nothing worked.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

This is the code inside my viewDidLoad:
searchController.searchBar.delegate = self
searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "Search for a recipe"
searchController.searchBar.barTintColor = navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor
searchController.searchBar.tintColor = UIColor.white
Try to set background color and change shadow of the navigationBar. It possibly connected with navigationBar.
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), forBarMetrics: UIBarMetrics.Default)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
Try to add this line:
searchController.searchBar.backgroundColor = navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor
In the file setupSearchBar()
After code fix:
You can remove that shadow below your navigation bar by the way. I have created extension for doing this:
extension UINavigationBar {
func shouldRemoveShadow(_ value: Bool) -> Void {
self.setValue(value, forKey: "hidesShadow")
}
}

Hiding NavigationBar border/shadow with clipsToBounds loses status bar in Swift?

So I've been desperately trying hide the navigationBar bottom border/shadow. I've gone through all the SO answers I can get, but nothing works right.
Setting navBar background and shadow image to empty uiimage does nothing:
navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: ""), forBarPosition: UIBarPosition.Any, barMetrics: UIBarMetrics.Default)
navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage(named: "")
Setting clipsToBounds or masksToBounds = true works, but I lose status bar on top and when push to next VC with same navController, I get a black status bar.
navigationController?.navigationBar.layer.masksToBounds = true
or
navigationController?.navigationBar.clipsToBounds = true
Setting in appDelegate also does not work:
UINavigationBar.appearance().backIndicatorImage = UIImage(named: "")
UINavigationBar.appearance().shadowImage = UIImage(named: "")
I'm using Swift on iOS 8. Thanks for any other suggestions!
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), forBarMetrics: .Default)
