Slide Out menu iOS showing Status Bar in iOS - ios

Question

I am using Swift 3 and xcode 8 to build a slide out menu for an iOS app (I don't want to use any open source library) so I had built it , I am facing two problems ,
1.If the center view has a navigation bar , then the side menu view is appearing beneath the navigation bar , I want it to start from the screen bounds.
2.The slide menu view also shows the carrier , time on top of the menu view , I want the behavior similar to google plus iOS app , where the menu loads on top of the home view.
Please find below the code I use to open the slide menu , I am not sure if the above issues are happening because I had added the menu view as a subview , if there is a better way to do it , kindly suggest.
Opening the menu view from the home view controller
let menuVC : MenuViewController = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "MenuViewController") as! MenuViewController
menuVC.delegate = self
self.view.addSubview(menuVC.view)
self.addChildViewController(menuVC)
menuVC.didMove(toParentViewController: self)
menuVC.view.layoutIfNeeded()
menuVC.view.frame=CGRect(x: 0 - UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width, y: 0, width: self.view.frame.width, height: self.view.frame.height);
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, animations: { () -> Void in
menuVC.view.frame = self.view.frame
sender.isEnabled = true
}, completion:nil)

Answer 1

If you really want to view to be on top of the status bar and the navcontroller you can add it to the window:
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.addSubview(menuVC.view)
Note that the view is no longer a subview of the ViewController so you also need to manually dismiss it in deinit otherwise it will stay on screen even when the view controller goes away:
menuVC.view.removeFromSuperview()

Answer 2

You can add left menu as a subview over application window and slide it using the animation.
Hide/show the status bar if you don't want to show the carrier , time on top of the menu view

class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var leading: NSLayoutConstraint!
#IBOutlet weak var sideview: UIView!
var showmenu = false
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
leading.constant = -160
// sideview.layer.shadowOpacity = 5
// sideview.layer.shadowRadius = 5
}
#IBAction func btnmenu(_ sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
if (showmenu)
{
leading.constant = -160
}
else
{
leading.constant = 0
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, animations:{self.view.layoutIfNeeded() })
}
showmenu = !showmenu
}
#IBAction func btntblview(_ sender: UIButton) {
let hk = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "TableViewController")as! TableViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(hk, animated: true)
}
