iOS 7 - Status bar overlaps the view content - ios

I am using status bar in my app and wanted to maintain the compatibility between ios 6 and ios 7. I wanted status bar to behave same as ios 6. I don't want status bar to overlap view controllers.

Try adding the following code in your view's viewWillAppear function:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
// if this is ios7 this code will make the view appear properly below the navigation bar
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion floatValue] >= 7.0) {
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = YES;
}
}

Try this~
if(OVER_IOS7){
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTranslucent:NO]
}

Try this.
add this key into info.plist file
View controller-based status bar appearance
set value for this to:- No

In iOS 7, the status bar is transparent, and other bars—that is, navigation bars, tab bars, toolbars, search bars, and scope bars—are translucent. As a general rule, you want to make sure that content fills the area behind the bars in your app.
Most bars also draw a blur behind them, unless you provide a custom background image for the bar.
iOS 7 introduces the barPosition property for identifying bar position, which helps you specify when a custom background image should extend behind the status bar. The UIBarPositionTopAttached value means that a bar is at the top of the screen and its background extends upward into the status bar area. In contrast, the UIBarPositionTop value means that a bar is at the top of its local context—for example, at the top of a popover—and that it doesn’t provide a background for the status bar.
By default, all bar buttons are borderless. For details, see Bar Buttons.
The Status Bar
Because the status bar is transparent, the view behind it shows through. The style of the status bar refers to the appearance of its content, which includes items such as time, battery charge, and Wi-Fi signal. Use a UIStatusBarStyle constant to specify whether the status bar content should be dark (UIStatusBarStyleDefault) or light (UIStatusBarStyleLightContent):
UIStatusBarStyleDefault displays dark content. Use when light content is behind the status bar. image: ../Art/status_bar_default_iphone_2x.pngimage: ../Art/status_bar_default_ipad_2x.png
UIStatusBarStyleLightContent displays light content. Use when dark content is behind the status bar. image: ../Art/status_bar_light_iphone_2x.pngimage: ../Art/status_bar_light_ipad_2x.png
In some cases, the background image for a navigation bar or a search bar can extend up behind the status bar (for details, see Navigation Bar and Search Bar and Scope Bar). If there are no bars below the status bar, the content view should use the full height of the screen. To learn how to ensure that a view controller lays out its views properly, see Using View Controllers.
In iOS 7, you can control the style of the status bar from an individual view controller and change it while the app runs. If you prefer to opt out of this behavior and set the status bar style by using the UIApplication statusBarStyle method, add the UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance key to an app’s Info.plist file and give it the value NO.

iOS status bar background overlaps UIAlertController

The main view of my app is a scrollable UICollectionView embedded in a UITabBarController. I'm not using a navigation bar and when the user scrolls he sees the cells behind the status bar, because the status bar has no background.
I've used UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = .white in my AppDelegate to apply a background and to make the status bar look like desired.
This works fine, but doesn't look nice when you're presenting a UIAlertController.
The white status bar stays above the dimmed background.
Is there a better way to apply a background to the status bar or a way to keep it behind the UIAlertController background?
You can try to use a UIView with a background color at the top of your presenting UIView.
Height of status bar can come from UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame. And update your view size when receiving UIApplication.didChangeStatusBarFrameNotification.

Move navigation bar in navigation view controller in ios7

I want add 20 points margin to my navigation bar. I need it because I want another background color under status bar as youtube did:
I found
iOS Developer library says: Status bar background appearance provided by the window background, if using UIBarPositionTop.
I found solution for toolbar, but I can't move my navigation bar inside navigation view controller. I just set UIBarPositionTop for my navigation bar, but it changes nothing.
-(UIBarPosition)positionForBar:(id<UIBarPositioning>)bar {
NSLog(#"position method called");
return UIBarPositionTop;
}
I still see the gray background of status bar instead of white.
Is it possible to do it with a navigation bar or should I use a view with a toolbar?
(XCode 6, development target 7.0+, sdk 8.0, autolayout)
UPDATE: ANOTHER WAY TO RESOLVE PROBLEM
I read this question
and understood, that there is no need to add margin. I added view with background color I need over my navigation bar controller and it resolved my problem.
When you are adding your UIView to the UIWindow, you should change the UIViews size to not underlap the title bar. How to do this is well documented in this post:
Offset on UIWindow addSubview
I hope i understood correctly, look in size inspector, ios 6/7 deltas.
Check this link for an explanation:
Interface Builder: What are the UIView's Layout iOS 6/7 Deltas for?

How to set the status bar to look like the system message app in iOS?

First, look at the picture below.
The middle is the message app, the left and right are my apps.
As you can see, in the message app, the status bar and top bar are both grey.
In the left one, the top bar is not translucent. The status bar and the top bar are all white.
In the right one, the top bar is translucent, which is the default style. The top bar is grey, but the status bar is white.
My question is, how to set the status bar to grey? As I can see in the target info part, the status bar style is already 'grey style(default). But it runs in white in my iPhone 5 iOS 7.1.1.
It turns out that #Panayot Panayotov is right. In Navigation controller, everything is fine.
I have compared the Navigation controller and Navigation bar alone. It turns out that in Navigation controller, the Navigation bar's x, y, width and height is 0, 0, 0, 0, which means it is right behind the status bar and also with a autolayout size. Since the status bar is translucent in iOS7, the color of the status bar and navigation bar are the same.
If you use Navigation bar alone, it has a fixed height 44, which can not be changed. That height can't cover the status bar and navigation bar items together. So they colors are different.
Finally the answer is to use navigation controller, not using navigation bar alone.

iOS 7 Displaying Status bar on Certain Views/Status Bar Cutting over View

I have an app where all of the views, except one, needs a status bar displayed on top. After spending time googling and searching here, I cannot find a solid answer that works.
Right now, with View controller-based status bar appearance set to YES, and
-(BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
}
in my 'hidden status bar' ModalViewController, the upper half of my Navigation Item is cut off.

Currently, the rest of the app's view's doesn't have a status bar. Suggestions?

How do you make the status bar appear iOS

This is getting very frustrating for me because I can't get the status bar to appear in my app. Everything related as far as UI is done on storyboard. when i set my status bar:inferred, top bar: inferred in my navigation controller, the status bar shows up fine. However, I do not want the top bar to appear as it interferes with my layout, so I set the top bar to none, which results in no top bar or status bar.
How can I just make the status visible without affecting my layout? (auto-layout is enabled)
So I did more googling and research, turns out I just had to add View controller-based status bar appearance as the key and the value as NO in the .plist file
