StatusBarHidden not working - iphone

Stumped on this one. I am using a section of code posted here to rotate a view into landscape. Rotate, sizing and animations are working great, but when the view rotates, the status bar hangs around as a thin gray strip, which is the same size as the hidden status bar.
Here is the code:
[UIView beginAnimations:#"View Flip" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.25];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
if (self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) {
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(degreesToRadian(90));
self.view.bounds = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 480, 320);
}
[UIView commitAnimations];
Thanks in advance!

Did you set wantsFullScreenLayout = YES on your view controller?

iOS7: I added the following code to the Info.plist to get rid of the status bar permanently. Found it in another stackexchange question.
<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>
<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<false/>

Transition of Modal View in ios

Modal view in iOS appears from bottom of the screen to top, and dismisses from top to bottom of the screen. I would like to know, is there any way i can revert the above and make the model view appear from top of the screen to bottom of it. Thus when it is dismissed it will animate from bottom to top.
Yes why not I think I can offer you a workaround :) ....
First Make a custom UIView and set its coordinates as
View.frame=CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 0);
Then use Animations to move it from top to bottom and vice-versa like this:-
For making it appear use the following code:-
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.25];
View.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 460);
[UIView commitAnimations];
For dismissing it use :-
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.25];
View.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 0);
[UIView commitAnimations];

How to allow only one view in navigation stack to rotate?

I have ViewControllers A and B on the navigation stack. A does not support landscape orientation, B does. If the user rotates to landscape while viewing B and then taps the Back button, A is now in landscape. How do I prevent this? Is there a good reason the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method of A is not respected?
This is really very annoying thing about view controllers. And It seems to be no fix for autorotation. Maybe, the best would be return NO from B's shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation and then perform view rotation manually. Then it won't affect A.
yes, i hate that too...
all i found to solve it was to do it by myself:
- (void)myAutomaticRotation{
if (A.view.frame.size.width > A.view.frame.size.height) {
[UIView beginAnimations:#"View Flip" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration: 0.5f];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI/2);
self.view.bounds = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 320.0f, 480.0f);
A.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,320, 480);
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
}
you can call myAutomaticRotation in a main/super UIViewController when you navigate to A.view,
and in that same place you should use:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
}
where you can check the view used (A,B) and allowing landscape mode just for B...

Animated status bar style transition, a la iPod app

In the iPod app, the navigation views have the default status bar style, and the Now Playing view is in the black style. The transition between them is animated with a crossfade. I want to do that.
My first attempt:
[UIView beginAnimations:#"whatever" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarStyle = UIStatusBarStyleBlack
[UIView commitAnimations];
No joy, it pops to black. Takers?
Try this instead:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque animated:YES];

How to autorotate from portrait to landscape mode?

How can I autorotate an image from portrait to landscape mode on the IPhone?
You have to implement shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method in your controller, like this
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return YES;
}
Apply proper transformation to the view and adjust its frame bounds
In my app I've done it this way (very likely not the best one):
[UIView beginAnimations:#"View Flip" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration: 0.5f];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(-M_PI/2);
self.view.bounds = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 480.0f, 320.0f);
self.view.center = CGPointMake(160.0f, 240.0f);
[UIView commitAnimations];
If you want to display a new and different view, the simplest and cleanest solution is to push a new view controller (presentModalViewController) that only supports landscape mode (in shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:).

iPhone rotation issue

I am working to force a view into landscape mode, and have picked up all kinds of cool tips to make this happen, but am stuck on one item that is left on the screen.
I have my XIB file laid out in landscape, and in my code I create the view controller normally:
RedeemViewController *aViewController = [[RedeemViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RedeemViewController" bundle:nil];
aViewController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
aViewController.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:aViewController animated:YES];
Inside the controller viewDidLoad I complete the following:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
[[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
[UIView beginAnimations:#"View Flip" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:.75];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
if (self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) {
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(degreesToRadian(90));
self.view.bounds = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 480, 320);
}
[UIView commitAnimations];
What I end up with is a perfectly rotated view, with a grey vertical bar on the left side (see pic).

So to the question, how do I get rid of the bar?
Edit: I am pretty sure this is the navigation bar that is not being hidden.
Your bounds rectangle is created with the origin at (0, -20). Change that to (0, 0) and you should be rid of the offset and have the view filling the screen.
