How can I detect UIStatusBar hide and show?

I\'m trying to detect hidden and show of iPhone\'s UIStatusBar but failed. Are there any solution can help me, like KVO or something else?

You can observe the statusBarHidden property of the shared UIApplication instance.

Simple example:

- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context
{
    // Do something here...
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"statusBarHidden" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew context:NULL];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES]; // Will notify the observer about the change
}
