Hide/Unhide StatusBar, TabBar and NavigationBar on touch

How to hide/unhide the status bar, tab bar and navigation bar on touch using TapGesture. Can anyone give me the code for it?

Solution

  • Adding a tap gesture to the view 

    UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGestureRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(hideUIComponents:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapGestureRecognizer];

    Then the function hideUIComponents

    - (void)hideUIComponents:(UITapGestureRecognizer*)tapGesture
{
   [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
   [[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];

   CATransition *animation = [CATransition animation];
   [animation setType:kCATransitionMoveIn];
   [[self.view.window layer] addAnimation:animation forKey:@"layerAnimation"];
   [self.tabBarController.tabBar setHidden:YES];
}

    Unhide by reversing the values. I hope this helps.
