How to make UINavigationBar Transparent in IOS 8? - ios

Question

I have tried a lot to make UINavigationBar transparent. But I failed making it so.The image which I set was transparent. Here is my code .
Any help ?
Thanks in advance.
[rootNavC.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"NAV_BG_iphone.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
rootNavC.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
rootNavC.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{
UITextAttributeTextColor : [UIColor whiteColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor : [UIColor clearColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset : [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, 0)],
UITextAttributeFont : [UIFont fontWithName:#"pastel" size:20]
}];

Answer 1

try this
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new]
forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.shadowImage = [UIImage new];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
self.navigationController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
I hope the above code helps.

Answer 2

Try adding this code. It worked for me in iOS 8.
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTranslucent:YES];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[[UIImage alloc] init] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.shadowImage = [[UIImage alloc] init];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]
Using this code, you don't even need to add your transparent UIImage. Update here if it helps you.

Thanks all. The thing is that I am adding this line in my view controller:
if (IS_OS_7_OR_LATER)
{
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = NO;
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;
}
that is why the code is not working. When I remove the line
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
the code works.

#Sushil it seems like he has it. In my app, I use
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Instead of alloc init, is the only difference.

try this
[rootNavC.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"NAV_BG_iphone.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
rootNavC.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
[[rootNavC.UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
//rootNavC.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{
UITextAttributeTextColor : [UIColor whiteColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor : [UIColor clearColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset : [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, 0)],
UITextAttributeFont : [UIFont fontWithName:#"pastel" size:20]
}];

This works on IOS 7 and +
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTranslucent:YES];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.shadowImage = [UIImage new];
self.navigationController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[[UIImage alloc] init] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.shadowImage = [[UIImage alloc] init];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
