How do I get the navigation bar in a UINavigationController to update its position when the status bar is hidden?

Question

I have a UINavigationController with a visible Navigation Bar. I have one particular UIViewController which I\'d like to hide the status bar when p

Answer 1

In your root view controller (where you want to show the status bar):

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO animated:YES];;
}

In the view controller you push on the stack (where you want to hide the status bar):

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:YES];;
}

Edit:

I realize now you want to hide the status bar. Got them mixed up since you were showing/hiding the nav bar in the code you posted. My mistake. It's essentially the same code, anyway:

In your root view controller (where you want to show the status bar):

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
}

I just tested this with an existing project and it worked.
