Add extra function when status bar is tapped - ios

I want my navigation bar to unhide when the status bar is tapped. Currently it's only scrolling my webview to the top. Anybody knows how to get this working? The webview can still scroll to top, this function doesn't need to be removed.

Create a UIWindow with the same dimensions as your status bar, add a UIButton to the UIWindow, and position it on top of your status bar.
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let statusbarWindow = UIWindow()
let statusbarButton = UIButton()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Setup UIWindow
statusbarWindow.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0,
UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarFrame.size.width,
UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarFrame.size.height)
statusbarWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelStatusBar
statusbarWindow.makeKeyAndVisible()
// Setup UIButton
statusbarButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0,
UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarFrame.size.width,
UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarFrame.size.height)
statusbarButton.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
statusbarButton.addTarget(self, action: "statusbarButton:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
statusbarWindow.addSubview(statusbarButton)
}
func statusbarButton(sender:UIButton!) {
// Scroll UIWebView to top
yourWebView.scrollView.contentOffset = CGPoint(0,0)
// Unhide nav bar here
}
Apple Docs: UIWindowLevel, makeKeyAndVisible.

iOS 13 remove UIView for simulate status bar background

I'm working with a UITableViewController which when scrolling makes the navigationBar disappear. Now when the navigation bar is hidden when the user swipes the table view the contents of the cells are seen below the status bar ...
To solve this problem I tried to insert a UIView to simulate a background of the status bar and everything works but the problem is that when I close the UITableViewController the background view of the status bar is not removed from the superview
For now my code is this, can you help me understand where I am wrong? why can't I remove the UIView from the superview?
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
setupStatusBarView()
}
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
navigationController?.navigationBar.isHidden = true
UIApplication.shared.windows.first?.viewWithTag(1)?.removeFromSuperview()
}
//MARK: - Setup Status Bar View
func setupStatusBarView() {
let height = view.window?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame.height ?? 0
let statusBarView = UIView()
statusBarView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height:height+5)
statusBarView.backgroundColor = .systemBackground
statusBarView.tag = 1
UIApplication.shared.windows.first?.addSubview(statusBarView)
}
viewDidLayoutSubviews get calls multiple times and you have put setupStatusBarView() in viewDidLayoutSubviews that means your background view has been added multiple times and this is totally wrong flow!
You are removing topmost view only not previous ones!
You should set frame in viewDidLayoutSubviews and should add the view from viewDidLoad!
try this one
let subviewArray = UIApplication.shared.windows.first?.subviews
for view in subviewArray!{
if view.tag == 1{
view.removeFromSuperview()
}
}

Push ViewController subviews beneath NavigationBar when translucent is True, Programmatically

This question asked to be implemented in Swift 4, iOS 11
Is there any way to make every subview of ViewController's view to be pushed down when it is under UINavigationBar?
If navigation bar is NOT TRANSLUCENT the subview is under it. This is what I want.
Desired Result
But when navigation bar is TRANSLUCENT the subview is lying under it. I dont want it. I want the subview is pushed down just be like if navigation bar is not translucent.
Undesired Result
I create the view programmatically :
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
let navBar = (self.parent as? UINavigationController)?.navigationBar
navBar?.isTranslucent = true
}
func makeChildView() {
let myframe = CGRect(x: 0, y: 10, width: self.view.frame.width, height:
self.view.frame.height * 0.4)
let view = UIView(frame: myframe)
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
self.view.addSubview(view)
}
Using Autolayout
I am able to solve this problem using autolayout. But I just want to know how to achieve this result without autolayout if possible. Is there any other approach?
Swift 3.x
navBar?.isTranslucent = true
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
Add this line & you are good to go.

iOS Navigation Item issues of extra padding top on landscape mode

There is extra padding top when my app in landscape.
Here is my code when create navigation bar programmatically.
Any advice to remove the padding top when in landscape mode?
let navigationBar = UINavigationBar(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 44)
navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
navigationBar.delegate = self;
let navigationItem = UINavigationItem()
navigationItem.title = "Title"
let btnLeft = UIButton(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 44, 44))
btnLeft.setImage(UIImage(named: “myImage.png"), forState: .Normal)
let leftButton = UIBarButtonItem()
leftButton.customView = btnLeft
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftButton
navigationBar.items = [navigationItem]
self.view.addSubview(navigationBar)
Snapshot from simulator (Landscape)
Snapshot from simulator (Portrait)
You should easily solve with this setting (in your viewDidLoad for example):
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.None
Alternative: You can put it also in your UINavigationController delegate method (if you have setted in your class your navigation delegate UINavigationControllerDelegate ) called willShowViewController:
func navigationController(navigationController: UINavigationController, willShowViewController viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool) {
viewController.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.None
}
If you work with UITableView you may also to do:
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
You can also edit directly to the attribute inspector:
If anyone of these approaches don't work, by default your UINavigationBar have different heights based on your orientation. For example, the navigation bar is 44 points in portrait and 32 points in landscape.
A workaround can be:
// Create an IBOutlet of your navigationBar height constraint
#IBOutlet weak var navBarHeight: NSLayoutConstraint
override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewWillLayoutSubviews()
if self.view.bounds.size.height > self.view.bounds.size.width {
self.navBarHeight.constant = 44
} else {
self.navBarHeight.constant = 32
}
}

How to create a top TabBar on iOS?

Could you please tell me how to create a TabBar on the top for iPad in iOS, like in this picture?
The bottom TabBar is ok for me. But for the top TabBar, I am still getting stuck.
Note: I am using XCode6, Objective-C, iOS8, iPad screen
Thanks
I've created a new blank project and embeded the view controller in a navigation controller.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var segmentedControl: UISegmentedControl!
var searchBar: UISearchBar!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Create the segmented control
self.segmentedControl = UISegmentedControl(items: ["Active", "Due", "Trash"])
self.segmentedControl.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
self.segmentedControl.sizeToFit() // Replace this with any size you want
// Create the search bar
self.searchBar = UISearchBar(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 32))
let rightBarButton = UIBarButtonItem(customView: self.searchBar)
// Finally add them to the navigation item
self.navigationItem.titleView = self.segmentedControl
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightBarButton
}
}

TableView Showing Behind Tab Bar

I am updating my app to use iOS 7 and I'm having a problem with a table view. My tab bar is translucent. The problem is when I scroll to the bottom of my table view, part of the last cell is still behind the tab bar. I'd like to have a bit of space between the last cell and the tab bar. I could fix this by using an opaque tab bar instead, but I want to keep it translucent.
Try setting
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = NO;
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;
Inside the tableview controller
Swift 4.x
let adjustForTabbarInsets: UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, self.tabBarController!.tabBar.frame.height, 0)
self.yourTableView.contentInset = adjustForTabbarInsets
self.yourTableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = adjustForTabbarInsets
Check the screen shot
Check the under top Bar and Un-checke under Bottom Bar
SWIFT 3
put this inside viewDidLoad of your tableViewController:
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge()
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = false
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
Swift 3.0
This is what worked for me. In your Custom ViewController:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let adjustForTabbarInsets: UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(self.tabBarController!.tabBar.frame.height, 0, 0, 0);
//Where tableview is the IBOutlet for your storyboard tableview.
self.tableView.contentInset = adjustForTabbarInsets;
self.tableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = adjustForTabbarInsets;
}
Not to sure I like the solution but it works for me.
With iOS 11 I have no issue, I simply use the following in viewDidLoad():
self.collectionView.bottomAnchor.constraint(self.view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
However on iOS 10 I need to hack my way like this:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
let tabBarHeight: CGFloat = (self.parent?.tabBarController?.tabBar.frame.size.height)!
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
} else {
self.collectionView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.bottomAnchor, constant: -tabBarHeight).isActive = true
}
}
This is working for me
override func viewDidLoad() {
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge()
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = false
}
If any view shows behind a UITabBar you can grab the bottomLayoutGuide and make adjustments at runtime. What I do is have a BaseViewController that all my view controllers inherit from. Then if the tab bar is visible we adjust the view like so:
import UIKit
class BaseVC: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
//Ensures that views are not underneath the tab bar
if tabBarController?.tabBar.hidden == false {
var viewBounds = self.view.bounds;
var bottomBarOffset = self.bottomLayoutGuide.length;
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, viewBounds.width, viewBounds.height - bottomBarOffset)
}
}
}
Since I don't use storyboards (where you can click a checkbox in IB to fix this problem), this has been the best solution I have found.
It is really hard to resolve the issue without detail information or actual codes. I have similar issue of tabview behind UItabBar in my project. The solutions offered here do not work in my case. After exploring my codes, I found a solution for my case.
Here is brief explanation of my case. I have a UItabBar in main view with two tab buttons. In one tab view, there is table view. If user taps on a row, a detail view is presented by using navigation controller. In the detail view, the tab bar is hidden, and a toolbar is showing at the bottom.
In order to bring tab bar back and hide the toolbar when the main view is brought back, I have to explicitly show tab bar and hide toolbar in the event of viewWillAppear:
class myMainViewController: UITableViewController {
private var tabBarHidden: Bool? = {
didSet {
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.isHidden = tabBarIsHidden ?? true
}
}
private var toolBarIsHidden: Bool? {
didSet {
let hidden = toolBarIsHidden ?? true
self.navigationController?.toolbar.isHidden = hidden
self.navigationController?.setToolbarHidden(hidden, animated: true)
}
}
...
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
self.tabBarIsHidden = false
self.toolBarIsHidden = true
}
...
}
I finally realize that the visibility of bar at the bottom is set in the event of viewWillAppear. At that time, the tableView or scroll view's content insets are set already based on no bar at the bottom. That's why my tableView is behind the bottom bar.
The solution I found is to reset content insets in the event of viewDidAppear:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
// In the event of viewWillAppear, visibilities of tool bar and tab bar are set or changed,
// The following codes resets scroll view's content insets for tableview
let topInset = self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.origin.y +
self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.height
let adjustForTabbarInsets: UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(
topInset, 0,
self.tabBarController!.tabBar.frame.height, 0)
self.tableView.contentInset = adjustForTabbarInsets
self.tableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = adjustForTabbarInsets
}
The best approch would be to Embed TabBarController to your ViewController (Editor -> Embed In -> TabBar Controller)and set the bottom of the tableview to be bottom of safe area of viewcontroller. The other ways wont be as perfect as this one.
You need to adjust the height of the table view. Just leave 49px at the bottom, as the tabbar height is 49 px. Adjust the height of table view so that it leaves 49px space below it.
