Change the status bar background color color past iOS 7

Question

I want to change background color of status bar on iOS 7, and I\'m using this code:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOp         


        

Answer 1

While handling the background color of status bar in iOS 7, there are 2 cases

Case 1: View with Navigation Bar

In this case use the following code in your viewDidLoad method

  UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
  CGFloat statusBarHeight = app.statusBarFrame.size.height;

  UIView *statusBarView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, -statusBarHeight, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, statusBarHeight)];
  statusBarView.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
  [self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:statusBarView];

Case 2: View without Navigation Bar

In this case use the following code in your viewDidLoad method

 UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
 CGFloat statusBarHeight = app.statusBarFrame.size.height;

 UIView *statusBarView =  [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, statusBarHeight)];
 statusBarView.backgroundColor  =  [UIColor yellowColor];
 [self.view addSubview:statusBarView];
