Add a UIView above all, even the navigation bar

Question

I want to display, above any other views, even the navigation bar, a kind of \"pop-up\" view that looks like this:

• full screen black background with a 0.5 alph

Answer 1

In Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10

var spinnerView: UIView? //This is your view

spinnerView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width, height: UIScreen.main.bounds.size.height))
//Based on your requirement change width and height like self.view.bounds.size.width
spinnerView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.black.withAlphaComponent(0.6)
//        self.view.addSubview(spinnerView)
let currentWindow: UIWindow? = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow
currentWindow?.addSubview(spinnerView!)

In Objective C

UIView *spinnerView;//This is your view

self.spinnerView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds.size.width, UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds.size.height)];  
//Based on your requirement change width and height like self.view.bounds.size.width
self.spinnerView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor blackColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.6];
// [self.view addSubview:self.spinnerView];
UIWindow *currentWindow = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
[currentWindow addSubview:self.spinnerView];

This can work either Portrait OR Landscape mode only.

One more simple code is:

yourViewName.layer.zPosition = 1//Change you view name
