I want to use a black status bar for my iPhone app. I have selected black status bar on all of my .xibs but I still can't get it to be black. Is this an issue that anyone else has seen or knows how to remedy?
Open the "info.plist" file .
Add a new row.
Select "Status bar style" as the key.
Select "Opaque black style" as the value.
EDIT: The comment by #codrut below to choose the value:
If you go far to the right, there's a button that brings you a drop down with the possible options.
The status bar in the nib files is there as an indication, just to simulate the real interface.
What you need to do is:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque];
and in the plist change the Status Bar Style (UIStatusBarStyle) to Black opaque (UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque) (or whatever you want).
Add the following in the info.plist file
<key>UIStatusBarStyle</key>
<string>UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque</string>
Not sure if this will help anyone else, but in our app we ran into an issue where the only way we could get it to use the black style was if we set it to the default style:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyleDefault];
Might be worth giving that a try if BlackOpaque isn't working for you.
Try this simple method....
1.For single viewController
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque];
2.For whole application
info.plist
----> Status Bar Style
--->UIStatusBarStyle to UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque

How to prevent iOS 5 from showing the status bar even though UIStatusBarHidden is YES?
Can someone go into extreme detail to help me? I am using XCode 5 if that helps. I just want the status bar to be gone from the app!
Thanks!
iOS 7
In your Info.plist file add key View controller-based status bar appearance with value NO. And, add key Status bar is initially hidden with value YES.
To hide the status bar after the app has completely launched, change it programmatically by adding this line to your app delegate's applicationDidFinishLaunching method:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
If you set animated to YES then the status bar will disappear by fading out. One question, why do you want to delete the status bar?
in your "*project_name*-Info.plist" file, add a key named "Status bar is initially hidden" and then set the value to "YES". that will always hide the status bar.
//viewDidload
if ([self respondsToSelector:#selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)]) {
// iOS 7
[self prefersStatusBarHidden];
[self performSelector:#selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
} else {
// iOS 6
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
}
// Add this Method
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
}
Have you tried this:
click on .xib file -> attribute inspector -> change 'Status Bar' to 'None'
(refer attached image)
Open your application Info.plist file and add the following lines:
<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<false/>
<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>
Please add this to your view controller
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
return YES;
}
I know, it's a strange question ^^,
I would like to know if there is a way to write some text in (or on) the UIStatusBar. In particular I want to write some text on the Status Bar when the user press a UIButton.
Thanks!
I'm not sure if you can draw directly into the status bar, but you should be able to draw on top of it in a custom view. You can get the status bar's frame using:
CGRect statusBarFrame = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame];
And you can get the application's main window (presumably the status bar's superview) using:
UIWindow *mainWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
You should be able to add your custom view directly to the key window in the status bar's frame. For an example of an app that appears to "modify" the status bar, take a look at Reeder.
No, the status bar is a system-controlled element. It's content cannot be modified by a third-party application.
Check out this work in progress: https://github.com/maciekish/APStatusBarExtensions
MTStatusBarOverlay is what you want :

Definitely the easier to use !
At the start of my app, the status bar is hidden, due to the Info.plist setting called Status bar is initially hidden. Later on, I want to show the status bar using:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
but I get a warning saying that the function is deprecated. Does anybody know what the new function is?
setStatusBarHidden:withAnimation: is the new method, which takes a UIStatusBarAnimation instead of a BOOL, so you can choose what animation is used to hide the status bar.
It is:
- (void)setStatusBarHidden:(BOOL)hidden withAnimation:(UIStatusBarAnimation)animation
See the UIApplication class reference for more info.
If you are trying to write code for both iOS 3.x and iOS 4.x, you are going to run into a further issue that the new method is not available in the old iOS. See this question for further info.
Add this to your AppDelegate.m
[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = YES;

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];//iOS3
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade]; //iOS4
is basically the way to go, but the important part is where respectively when to call it.
that depends a bit if you're developing for iOS4 or iPhone OS 3.0.
in iOS 3 is used to hide the status bar when the Notification MPMoviePlayerContentPreloadDidFinishNotification was fired.
in iOS4 i didn't have any problems hiding the bar before i set the ContentURL of my MPMoviePlayerViewController's moviePlayer property.
i hope i could help.

I hide the status bar in applicationDidFinishLaunching using
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
That works fine except the status bar is there while the app is loading. Meaning, when the default.png is displayed, I see the status bar. Is there a way to have the status bar not show at all?
Add UIStatusBarHidden to your info.plist file, set to true. Documentation here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/ipad/#documentation/general/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/iPhoneOSKeys.html
You need to use this:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
and then open up the info.plist file, create a new line, chose Status bar is initial hidden and set it to true.
You need to edit your Info.plist to include the entry "Status bar is initially hidden" and set the value to YES.
