The status bar is as follows:
Ways to hide the status bar
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
9.14.1. Another way to hide the status bar ¶
We can also hide the status bar by adding rows and selecting UIStatusBarHidden with the help of info.plist, and make its value NO.
9.14.2. Add a custom method hideStatusbar to the class ¶
It hides the status bar for animation and also adjusts the amount of space we think takes up the status bar.
-(void)hideStatusbar{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES
withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
[UIView beginAnimations:@"Statusbar hide" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
[self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
Update the viewDidLoad in ViewController.m, as follows:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// The method hideStatusbar called after 2 seconds
[self performSelector:@selector(hideStatusbar)
withObject:nil afterDelay:2.0];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
9.14.3. Initial output and output after 2 seconds ¶
