I have some problems in XCode. I tried to get my navigation bar colored which works perfectly but, the statusbar won't change its color too. I already searched, but nothing works for me.
I hope it is possible to do this without code.
Here is my take on this:
First, iOS gives only two kinds of status bar appearance - light or default.
It is important to note as well that the system status bar no longer
has any background color. When the API refers to
UIStatusBarStyleLightContent, they mean white text on a clear
background. UIStatusBarStyleDefault is black text on a clear
background.
To set status bar white throughout the app:
UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarStyle = .LightContent
To set status bar black throughout the app:
UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarStyle = .default
Second, As a side note, in your info.plist, you can use UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to NOif you want to set the above style at app level (inside your AppDelegate). Otherwise set this property to YES and implement following method in each your view controller to set different styles based on your needs:
override func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle {
return UIStatusBarStyle.LightContent
}
Third, To have a custom color on your status bar, you can add a UIView of desired colour just below the status bar like this:
UIView *addStatusBar = [[UIView alloc] init];
addStatusBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, screenWidth, 20);
addStatusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor]]; //assign here your color
[self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:addStatusBar];
Fourth, importantly, UINavigationController will alter the height of its UINavigationBar to either 44 points or 64 points based on following points:
