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

for what @Teja Kumar Bethina provided is helpful, but it's better to get the height of the statusBar from UIApplication singleton like below:

UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];

UIView *statusBarView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, -app.statusBarFrame.size.height, self.view.bounds.size.width, app.statusBarFrame.size.height)];
    statusBarView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
