IPad navigation controller toolbar position - ios

I have a UIViewController inside of UINavigationViewController. I use navigationController.toolbar for some actions.
There's no problem until the first device rotation. After it toolbar goes off the screen frame.
And there's nothing to be done, even another device rotations can't fix this.
The problem occurs only on IPad ios v.6.
The code is very simple:
- (void)createToolbar{
UIImage *toolbarBack = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"navbar"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(2, 2, 2, 2)];
[self.navigationController.toolbar setBackgroundImage:toolbarBack forToolbarPosition:UIBarPositionBottom barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
self.navigationController.toolbar.delegate = self;
//...
self.toolbarItems = #[item1, space, item2, space, item3, space, item4];
}
- (void)showToolbar{
[self.navigationController setToolbarHidden:YES animated:NO];
}
#pragma mark - toolbar delegate methods
- (UIBarPosition)positionForBar:(id<UIBarPositioning>)bar{
return UIBarPositionBottom;
}
UPDATE
I found out that before the rotation navigationController.view.height == 1004 and after the rotations it increase by 20 (1024). Is it some statusbar issue?

Set up toolbar delegate to your view controller and implement method:
- (UIBarPosition)positionForBar:(id <UIBarPositioning>)bar {
return UIBarPositionBottom;
}
If you use storyboard you can create constraint between bottom of the screen and your toolbar.

Change UINavigationBar alpha to 0, then back home and return to app. the navigationBar alpha change to 1

First. set alpha = 0.
click HOME back to backgroud, then click app back to app.
The alpha will set 1 auto automaticly.
How to set the navigationBar alpha = 0 forever.
If you want programatically try this:
If you want no navigation bar, and you want the content to be adjusted up to where the navigation bar normally would be, you should use
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
Otherwise use self.navigationController.navigationBar.hidden = YES; gives you a space where the navigationBar is.
when you come back from second view controller to first view controller then you have to implement some code in viewWillAppear method :
code
viewController1
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:YES];
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
}
viewController2
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

iOS hidesBarsOnSwipe status bar background color

When I swipe and hide the navigation bar with the hidesBarsOnSwipe property the status bar has a clear background. How can I set the background of the status bar to the same color as the navigation bar? Here are a few pictures showing my problem, this is all contained in a UITableViewController.
Separate
Separate picture, looks like one big one.
I've come across the same issue, and was able to solve it. I'm fairly new to iOS dev, and I don't imagine this solution to be foolproof. I couldn't find any good answers elsewhere, so here's how I overcame it:
I converted from a UITableViewController over to UIViewController with a nested UITableView. Note, double check that the delegate to the child tableview is set to the UIViewController.
I Added a view with a height of 20px and a background colour that you want to set as the "background" to the status bar. Set the constraints on that view as follows:
On your table view, set the constrains to be basically full screen. One important note here, the top constraint is to "Top Layout Guide.Top" and not to "Top Layout Guide.Bottom". By default I believe this constraint ties to the bottom. Double clicking on the constraint allows you to adjust it to the top. Without this, any table header cells weren't positioned properly for me
Hope that helps.
Adding to George Huber's answer. I solved this issue programmatically by adding a 20pt height UIView as a subview of the navigationController's view property -- in viewDidLoad method.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIView *statusBarBG = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(self.view.bounds), 20)];
statusBarBG.backgroundColor = [UIColor navBar];
[self.navigationController.view addSubview:statusBarBG];
// REST OF CODE
}
Per skg's answer, I add a relative height for status bar according to iOS version.
self.navigationController.hidesBarsOnSwipe = true;
// add a UIView as subView to navigationController
CGFloat statusBarHeight;
if (#available(iOS 13, *)) {
NSArray *windows = UIApplication.sharedApplication.windows;
UIWindow *keyWindow = nil;
for (UIWindow *window in windows) {
if (window.isKeyWindow) {
keyWindow = window;
break;
}
}
statusBarHeight = keyWindow.windowScene.statusBarManager.statusBarFrame.size.height;
NSLog(#"statusBarHeight: %f", statusBarHeight);
} else {
statusBarHeight = UIApplication.sharedApplication.statusBarFrame.size.height;
}
UIView *statusBarBG = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(self.view.bounds), statusBarHeight)];
statusBarBG.backgroundColor = [UIColor systemBackgroundColor];
[self.navigationController.view addSubview:statusBarBG];

UITableView content overlaps Status Bar when UISearchBar is active

I have a UITableViewController with a UISearchBar and UISearchDisplayController. That exists inside a Container View in a UIViewController which is in a UINavigationController. I made this image to help describe the structure:
This is what it really looks like:
When I tap the Search Bar, I have to hide the Nav Bar. Normally, this would happen on its own, but since my UITableViewController is inside a Container View, I have to handle that change myself. This is what it looks like then, note that the Status Bar is white because the Nav Bar is white, even though it is Hidden at the moment.
Once I start typing in some search text, the results show up. If I scroll those results upward, they pass underneath the Search Bar, but they overlap the Status bar which is very unattractive.
If the Container View isn't involved, then this all works as intended and the table content passes underneath the Status Bar, but with the ContainerView involved, the table text and status bar collide.
How do I get the text to travel under the Status Bar like normal?
I have search this for hours and my final result was to put this line in viewDidLoad:
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = YES;
Problem solved :)
Try setting the definesPresentationContext in viewDidLoad of your TableViewController
Swift
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
definesPresentationContext = true
}
Objective-C
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.definesPresentationContext = YES;
}
Here's what worked for me:
DO:
Use UISearchController (not a separately placed UISearchBar)
Place your VC in a UINavigationController if it isn't already. Set the nav not to "Show Navigation Bar" if desired.
Use autolayout for the UITableView (not springs and struts) and pin the top of the table to the top of the VC's view.
Add this delegate method:
- (UIBarPosition)positionForBar:(id<UIBarPositioning>)bar {
return UIBarPositionTopAttached;
}
DON'T:
Fiddle with edgesForExtendedLayout
Fiddle with extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars
Fiddle with the table's contentInset
Basically this is due to the traslucency of the nav bar, usually the view controller fix that overlapping, by correcting the top insets of the owned view or subview if they are(or inherits) from UIScrollView. You have 2 options, one is to set the traslucency of the navbar to no, the other is set the edgeForExtendedLayout to none ore leave only bottom.
- (void)searchDisplayControllerWillBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller {
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
}
- (void)searchDisplayControllerDidEndSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller {
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;
}
These advices works only on iOS7, if you are deploying on lower target check before settings those properties.
Another way around, but I didn't tested could be read the --topLayoutGuide length and in the -searchDisplayControllerWillBeginSearch try to set a topInsets of the same length. In this way you should still preserve the translucency.
I have UISearchBar and UISearchDisplayController.
In viewdidload:
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
[searchDisplayController.searchBar setBackgroundImage:[self imageWithColor:ETSBaseColor] forBarPosition:0 barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
method that obtain image from UIColor:
- (UIImage *)imageWithColor:(UIColor *)color
{
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rect.size);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, [color CGColor]);
CGContextFillRect(context, rect);
UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return image;
}
I had the same problem:
- (void)searchDisplayControllerWillBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller
{
controller.searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyleDefault; // Used to cover UIStatusBar
}
- (void)searchDisplayControllerWillEndSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller
{
controller.searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyleMinimal; // Used not to show top and bottom separator lines
}
In my case I don't want to hide the UINavigationBar but I had similar problems with gapes and other side effects. One of them was a missing UISearchBar after switching between UIViewControllers while the UISearchDisplayController is visible (I'm using SWRevealViewController to switch between UIViewController). This problem occurs only on iPads. It came out that the UISearchBar suddenly hides behind the UINavigationBar. Now I solved all my Problems with the following lines of code in the UITableViewController which is presented in a UIContainerView:
- (UINavigationController *)navigationController {
return nil;
}
Those lines prevent the UISearchDisplayController to reach and change my UINavigationController. I also subclassed this method into "MyContainerTableViewController" class and use this class now for all embedded UITableViewController.
I'm still using UISearchDisplayController to Support iOS 7.
The following hack worked for me:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return (self.searchController.isActive && section == 0) ? 22.0f : 0.0f;
}

iOS 7 UISearchBar right spacing

Don't know why, my search bar in iOS 7 is leaving a right space. It's ok in iOS 6.
I know it has something to do with the section index, because if I remove it the space disappears, but I don't know how to fix it. Any thoughts?
Embed your UISearchBar in a UIView and then add that as the tableHeaderView. Structuring it that way in a storyboard worked for me. I'm guessing iOS resizes the UISearchBar in the tableHeaderView, but leaves a basic UIView alone (and doesn't bother to look inside it).
You might also want to make the section index transparent, which I did with:
[[UITableView appearance] setSectionIndexBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[[UITableView appearance] setSectionIndexTrackingBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
Until a better answer appears, I just manually changed the frame of the search bar like this:
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
[super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
CGRect barFrame = self.searchBar.frame;
barFrame.size.width = self.view.bounds.size.width;
self.searchBar.frame = barFrame;
}
I had this same issue with the iPhone 6/ 6Plus when using a SearchDisplayController. (Using Swift)
I tried setting the frame of the search bar but with no luck but i noticed that if i tapped on the textField of the UISearchBar and then cancelled it then it would take on the proper size of the view. I therefore managed to fix the issue by calling the code below in ViewDidLoad of the viewController using the search.
self.searchController.setActive(true, animated: false)
self.searchController.setActive(false, animated: false)
self.contactsTableView.sectionIndexBackgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
The reason for that white edge is because your index layer has a white background and is on top of the search bar. This should be sufficient.
Add the search bar inside a UIView put as tableView's header view. Set the tableview's sectionIndexBackgroundColor to clear color because it covers the header.
Tested with iOS 7, 7.1;
Because the table view always leaves 15px on the right for section Indexes View, so you should resize the Seach bar after reloading the table view
First:
self.tblData.sectionIndexBackgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; //(iOS >= 7 only)
Cheating time:
- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate
{
[self performSelector:#selector(resizeSearchBar) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.01];
}
- (void) resizeSearchBar
{
CGRect frame = self.searchBar.frame;
if (frame.size.width < self.tblData.frame.size.width) {
frame.size.width = self.tblData.frame.size.width;
}
self.searchBar.frame = frame;
}
- (void) reloadTableData // call it anytime you want to reload table view
{
[self.tblData reloadData];
[self performSelector:#selector(resizeSearchBar) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.01];
}
Suggest
Dont cheat like me, just do the simpler way:
self.searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyleMinimal; // iOS >= 7 only
I also attached a UISearcBar in my application, and nothing is wrong there even my application supports rotation also.
Could you try removing and re creating UISearchBar in storyboard/xib
I added the search bar as a subview of the top-level view instead of the table view. Used autolayout to pin the searchbar to the top guide, and a vertical space constraint of 0 between the search bar and the table view.
The accepted solution with the method viewDidLayoutSubviews makes the screen flicker.
Instead what I did was create a subclass of UISearchBar that simply does this:
FullWidthSearchBar.h:
#interface FullWidthSearchBar : UISearchBar
#end
FullWidthSearchBar.m:
#import "FullWidthSearchBar.h"
#implementation FullWidthSearchBar
- (void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame {
frame.size.width = self.superview.bounds.size.width;
[super setFrame:frame];
}
#end
And then I assigned that class to the search bar on my xib:
The problem is the right white block, so if we change the block color the same as the search bar background, it looks normal.
just
if (IOS7) {
self.tableview.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:self.searchBar.backgroundImage];
}

SplitViewController's master side sometimes is not rendered correctly when changing orientation in IOS 6.1

I have a tab bar controller that has some tabitems. Some of the tabitems are splitviewcontrollers. Sometimes, when I change orientation, the left side of the splitview controller does not render correctly, I have a black square in the bottom. By changing the orienation again, the problem is solved.
There is nothing special in my code. In the viewdidload I have:
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
self.splitViewController.delegate = self;
And one splitviewcontroller delegate method is handled trivially:
- (BOOL)splitViewController:(UISplitViewController *)svc shouldHideViewController: (UIViewController *)vc inOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation
{
return NO;
}
I have nothing more, just some tableview on it with some cells on the detail side.
I've seen such issue and the only workaround I came up with was to reset the size of the left side view controller's view and also it's navigation controller's view:
- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation {
if (self.splitViewController) {
viewHeight = ...
navViewHeight = ...
CGRect viewFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, viewHeight);
self.view.frame = viewFrame;
CGRect navControllerViewFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, navViewHeight);
self.navigationController.view.frame = navControllerViewFrame;
}
}
Where viewHeight and navViewHeight you can calculate from screen height depending on current orientation (which has already been set when didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation: is called). I guess these values should be equal for you as you hide the navigation bar.
