In iOS 8, when presenting an UIActivityViewController, trying to set status bar content light does not work. It shows black text.
I've tried:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
[viewController presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES
completion:^{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent animated:YES];
}];
View controller-based status bar appearance is set to NO in the plist.
Also tried this with no luck. It could very well be a bug, as I don't have this issue with MFMailComposeViewController.

I have first ViewController with Portrait orientation and second ViewController with landscape orientation. The first ViewController have status bar, the second have not.
Then I present second ViewController from the first ViewController, it presenting with out status bar. Then I dismiss it I go back to first ViewController and have my status bar, but the position of the View is incorrect.
View position like screen have not status bar. How can I update it?
first, try this:
In your landscape VC declare the following:
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:true];
// you can also try to hide the status bar with animation:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:true withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
}
In your portraint VC declare the following:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:false];
// you can also try to show the status bar with animation:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:false withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
}
So I have an app which mainly consists of web views. Everyhting is working fine, I have my status bar and navigation bars configured as I like.
The only issue is, when I go to a website that has a "Choose File" option, it opens the Saved Images to select a image (no issue here), then when I tap on the saved images table cell, the status bar text goes from white to black and I am unable to revert back.
I have tried calling UIStatusBarStyleLightContent in viewDidAppear, viewDidDisappear, etc which solves it reverting, but only on that single view it changes.
Any ideas on how to keep it UIStatusBarStyleLightContent all the time? I should note I have [UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent]; declared in the App Delegate, and UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance set to NO.
Thanks.
UPDATE with screenshots:
UPDATE 7/14
I managed to get it somewhat working, but in turn it broke the default video player status bar text. Plus it just won't hide to begin with.
I used:
- (void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
}
-(void) viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
[self.webView stopLoading];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleDefault];
}
FINAL UPDATE??
Not pretty, but i managed to somewhat get the effect all together between the video player and image uploader.
-(void) viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
[self.webView stopLoading];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleDefault];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES
withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
}
Set "View controller-based status bar appearance” to NO in your info.list file;
Add this code
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
to -application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: of the AppDelegate.m.
I hope your problem will be solved

How to hide status bar in UIImagepickercontroller?

How to hide "Status Bar" when appear UIImagepickerController?
Here i using iOS coding and xcode 5.
In a view has two buttons one for camera and another gallery. this view would be showed status bar always.
When user press camera button then will appear camera. but it is showed status bar. After take photo will disappear to view.
I would be like hide "Status Bar" when appear Camera. Is there any code?
**Try this Code :-**
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
}
//iOS 7 into set this property in info.plist file.
set Status bar is initially hidden = YES
add row: View controller-based status bar appearance = NO
Please try this one :
First set in your .plist file.
'View controller-based status bar appearance' and set to NO.
Add in your AppDelegate Method
[application setStatusBarHidden:NO];
[application setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleDefault];
If you want to change statsubar color change the setStatusBarStyle according to your app background color.
Also you can try:
- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
}
Solution
Go to your plist file and add a new row, View Controller-Based Status Bar Appearance
This should handle this problem.
put this line in your camera button method
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
you add this code
- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController
willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
animated:(BOOL)animated {
if(IS_IOS_7){
if ([navigationController isKindOfClass:[UIImagePickerController class]] &&
((UIImagePickerController *)navigationController).sourceType == UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
}
}
}
I hid status bar in my app by setting [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone]; and by this code:
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
}
By when I show the MPMediaPickerController modal with [self presentViewController:mpMediaPlayerController animated:YES completion:^{}];, the status bar is being show again.
How can I hide it?
Subclass the MPMediaPickerController and add:
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
return YES;
}
After getting back from MPMediaPlayerController again hide status bar in ViewWillAppear method
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
Hope it will work.
I'm looking for the name of the class Apple uses to present a number of Images in full screen (similar to the AppStore-App on iPad when you tap the preview images of any App. In the bottom of the view is a bar with little preview Images from all the Images).
If this is a public class, how is it called and is it available for iPhone as well?
Ok so I have created my own ImageFullScreenPresenter.
What is important for anybody trying to build their own ImageFullScreenPresenter is to make it a subclass of UIViewController.
PKImageFullScreenPresenter *pkImageFullScreen = [[[PKImageFullScreenPresenter alloc] initWithNibName:#"PKImageFullScreenPresenter" bundle:nil imageArray:myImageArray] autorelease];
AppDelegate *appDel = (AppDelegate *)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
UIViewController *rootViewController;
if (DEVICE_IS_IPAD) {
//since the splitviewcontroller is the rootviewcontroller on ipad i set it as my temporary rootViewcontroller for ipad
rootViewController = appDel.splitViewController;
}
if (DEVICE_IS_IPHONE) {
//on iphone i need the tabbarcontroller as temporary rootviewcontroller
rootViewController = appDel.tabBarController;
}
//set the alpha to zero, so it can fade in animated
pkImageFullScreen.view.alpha = 0;
//save the temporary rootViewController, so I can set it back when dissmissing the ImageViewController
pkImageFullScreen.superViewController = rootViewController;
//hide the status bar
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
//setting black backgroundcolor
[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
//init the fullscreencontroller as rootview
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow setRootViewController:[[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:pkImageFullScreen] autorelease]];
//smooth fade animation
[UIView animateWithDuration:.5f
animations:^(void){
pkImageFullScreen.view.alpha = 1;
}];
Doing so, allows me to present the ImageFullScreenPresenter on iPhone and iPad, no matter you are using a window-based app, a splitViewController on iPad or whatever.
When dismissing the ImageFullScreenPresenter i set the temporary saved rootViewController back with an animation:
- (void)closeView:(id)sender{
[UIView animateWithDuration:.5f
animations:^(void){
self.view.alpha = 0;
}completion:^(BOOL finished){
//show the statusbar again
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
//setting the statusbarstyle
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent];
//set the backgroundcolor for the window
[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.backgroundColor = GLOBAL_TINT_COLOR; //my custom color vor all GUI Objects
//set the temporary rootViewController back
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow setRootViewController:superViewController];
//sometimes the navigationbar hides the statusbar, the following two lines help me out
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO];
}];
}
I dont know if this is the right way to go, but it works perfectly finefor me. I do not have to worry abput any rotation issues like I would have when i directly add this to [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.
I hope this helps others who try do achieve the same :)
