Status bar backgroundColor - ios

Question

I am using ios 7 I want to set stauts bar background image.
I have done this but still it is not changing anything:
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0) {
UIView *addStatusBar = [[UIView alloc] init];
addStatusBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 20);
addStatusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; //change this to match your navigation bar
[self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:addStatusBar];
}

Answer 1

I have done this like .h file
#property (retain, nonatomic) UIWindow *statusBarBackground;
and in .m file
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {
self.statusBarBackground = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.window.frame.size.width, 20)];
self.statusBarBackground.backgroundColor =[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"statusbar_bg"]];
[self.statusBarBackground makeKeyAndVisible];
}
add this to your controllers
- (void) viewDidLayoutSubviews {
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(#"7.0")) {
CGRect viewBounds = self.view.bounds;
if (viewBounds.origin.y == 0) {
CGFloat topBarOffset = self.topLayoutGuide.length;
viewBounds.origin.y -= topBarOffset;
self.view.bounds = viewBounds;
}
}
}

your code works, but you have to modify it a bit. here is what it should look like..
// Override point for customization after application launch.
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0) {
UIView *addStatusBar = [[UIView alloc] init];
addStatusBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 20);
//change this to match your navigation bar or view color or tool bar
//You can also use addStatusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor BlueColor]; or any other color
addStatusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"bg1.png"]];
//here you are adding the image as the background image
[self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:addStatusBar];
don't forget to import your image to the project. now i have just plugged in the above code in application didfinishwithoptions of the app delegate, but you should be able to use the same if you want different views using the same.

You have to do 2 things.
(1) Open your info.plist and set "View controller-based status bar appearance" = NO
(2) add these lines to application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7)
{
self.window.clipsToBounds = YES;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque];
UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation;
if(orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
{
self.window.frame = CGRectMake(20, 0,self.window.frame.size.width-20,self.window.frame.size.height);
self.window.bounds = CGRectMake(20, 0, self.window.frame.size.width, self.window.frame.size.height);
} else
{
self.window.frame = CGRectMake(0,20,self.window.frame.size.width,self.window.frame.size.height-20);
self.window.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 20, self.window.frame.size.width, self.window.frame.size.height);
}
}
