UIWebView in full screen hides status bar - iphone

Question

I am opening video in UIWebView with following code.
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
NSLog(#"Navigatin Type %d %#",navigationType, request);
if (navigationType == 0) {
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backBarBtn;
[self showVideoInWebView:[request.URL absoluteString]];
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
-(void)showVideoInWebView:(NSString *)urlStr
{
[mainWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlStr]]];
}
but when my mainWebView opens in full screen it hides my status bar.
I don't want to hide status bar
then how can I show my status bar?

Answer 1

You Can set Notification For making Status bar Visible.
Set The Notification for FullScreen Entry And Exit Notification ,SO that you could SHow And Hide The Status bar As Needed.
// For FullSCreen Entry
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(videoFullScreen:) name:#"UIMoviePlayerControllerDidEnterFullscreenNotification" object:nil];
// For FullSCreen Exit
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(videoExitFullScreen:) name:#"UIMoviePlayerControllerDidExitFullscreenNotification" object:nil];
- (void)videoFullScreen:(id)sender
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO animated:NO];
}
- (void)videoExitFullScreen:(id)sender
{
//Here do WHat You want
}
I am Sure It'll be helpful to you.

Answer 2

that is the behaviour of the built-in movie player AFAIK you cant change it ... maybe with an alternative HTML5 control.

Answer 3

when your UIWebView begin Fullscreen at that time write this line..
just try with this line..
-(void)moviePlayerEvent:(NSNotification*)aNotification{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:NO];
NSLog(#"%i", [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden);
}

Another Way:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(VideoFullScreenExit:) name:UIWindowDidBecomeHiddenNotification object:self.view.window];
- (void)VideoFullScreenExit:(id)sender {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];
}
