Status bar and navigation bar appear over my view"s bounds in iOS 7



π±π»π§ Uncovering the Mystery of the Status Bar and Navigation Bar in iOS 7! π€
So you've just downloaded Xcode 5 DP to test your slick apps on iOS 7, and bam! Your view's bounds are getting invaded by the status bar and navigation bar. π±
No worries, my tech-savvy friend! I'm here to reveal some common issues and provide you with easy solutions in a jiffy. Let's dive in! π¦
First, you need to know why this happens. In the viewDidLayoutSubviews
method, you're printing the view's bounds and getting something like this: {{0, 0}, {320, 568}}
. This means that your content is appearing below the navigation bar and status bar. Not cool, right? π
Now, to fix this problem without breaking a sweat, you might think you have to manually adjust the height by calculating your view's bounds. But hold your horses! There's an easier way. π
Simply set the translucent
property of the navigation bar to NO, like this:
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;
VoilΓ ! π© Your view won't get framed underneath the navigation bar and status bar anymore. Easy, peasy! π
But wait! What if you actually want the navigation bar to be translucent, especially when viewing a cool photo on fullscreen mode? Well, my friend, in that case, we're diving into murkier waters. π
Unfortunately, I haven't discovered a solid fix for this specific scenario yet. When you toggle showing/hiding the navigation bar, things can get pretty funky. The first subview (probably a UIScrollView) may find its bounds' origin magically changing constantly. π©
